"MCV sources have revealed that Sainsburys are set to aggressively cut the price of Wii and 360 hardware.

As of tomorrow morning, the supermarket chain will reportedly cut the Nintendo Wii from £179.97 to £149.97, whilst the Xbox 360 Arcade is to be dropped from £129.97 to £99.97. The Xbox 360 60GB is also going to be reduced from £169.97 to £139.97.

The deals are set to run between October 3rd and October 12th. "

And it looks like Hexus.net has confirmed the news;

"A UK price war is about to begin, spurred on by retail chain, Sainsburys, who have this afternoon confirmed to HEXUS.gaming that there will be substantial price cuts on both its Xbox 360 and Wii consoles.

Speaking to the its customer service helpline, Sainsbury's confirmed that as from Friday 03rd October, running up until October 12th, the Xbox 360 Arcade version will be available for just £99.97(previously £129.97), with the 60GB model offered at just £139.97 (reduced from £169.97). "

See if I go down to the local Sainsburys tomorrow and the Xbox isn't £99...

Hmmm, i may just buy an arcade while my Elite is away getting repaired. Then i can just sell one of them when i get it back.

Its a shame they arent doing a deal on the elites or id have had one of those for my bedroom.

I take it you don't get out much

I get out everyday, my carer comes round.

I wanted it as a media server, you can fit a lot of divx porn on a 120gb hard disk.

They are doing the Elite for £159.99

Extremely good price.

Mines went up the shitter last week just in time for Microsofts price cuts. So it's a price cut on top of a price cut.

Elite for me

£100! That's bloody cheap. If only I wasn't skint.

i have just sold my wii to buy one,but no sainsburys near me,pity ,looks like i,ll have to get mine from game for £130
