Theres a rumour going about that the xbox will cut to £215 soon. An interesting price point at just above £200. On the face of it, it doesn't sound that logical I mean a sub £200 price point will shift a lot more consoles and theres only £16 difference. I suppose retailers may bundle a game for £249.95 like Halo and that does seem pretty good value. One things assured once they go to £215 they won't drop that price for a long time so its perhaps a sensible time to buy. I was hoping for £199 but a £250 bundle deal and I'll definitely get my wallet out for it. Presumably it will be the end of the month just before the GC launches.

I don't have any regrets about picking up the X-Box on release day. At the end of the day, if Microsoft need to lower the price to keep our console in the competition, then I'd rather they do that then hold onto the current price tag just to appease the ones that paid full price and risk losing more sales.
Afterall, if Microsoft can get the sales, then the console gets the support and we get the games. :-)

Well, I bought one 3 days ago. And to be honest, I couldn't care less if the price drops. It is still worth the money. I wasn't too happy when I first found out (and posted the topic on here) but I have thought about it a bit now.
And the £215 thing. That is converted from the price that has been given from Euros. So it could still be either £200 or £250, depending on which way Microsoft want to go.

i would wait a bit just to see whether the rumours are true
I'm thinking of buying an Xbox very soon, but what do I do?
If I buy one tomorrow and then there's a price drop in a couple of weeks, I'm gonna be really p***ed off.
