For anyone who wants a Xbox360 or Wii - now is the time to buy!

A UK price war is about to begin' date=' 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).

The company has no current deals on the Elite model.

Futhermore, the Wii will be reduced for the same period from £179.97 to £149.97!

You'll be hard pressed to find a better deal anywhere else. We guess you'll have to hurry up whilst stocks last. [/quote']

Probably for the run up to Crimbo.

Probably for the run up to Crimbo.

That's part of it and also the need to get blu ray more mainstream and away from being a geeky niche market.

The next 6 months or so should see the launch of the first real budget players too.

I'm looking at getting the Sony BDP-S350 this next few weeks and will probably wait then end up getting it the week before they drop the prices.

Try M&S..... They give a free 2 year warranty with theirs..... We had some vouchers left from our wedding so used them to get it for £95 instead of the normal £180 back then.

The 160gb PS3 is out on the 31st.

I'm hoping the price gets dropped a bit from the £339.99 that they are currently advertised at before I buy
