OXM Hints At Xbox Price Cut

The Official Xbox Magazine has hinted a Xbox 360 price cut could be on the way.

Posted on its Twitter account the magazine tweeted about the success of the PS3 price cut.

"PS3 Slim's [sic] are topping the sales charts everywhere. Hope Microsoft is paying attention to the power of a price cut. Yes, that was a hint..."

This follows on from an analyst's prediction last week that Microsoft will make an official announcement regarding a price cut "in the next week".

So could we be seeing a price war in the run up to Christmas between Microsoft and Sony? Here's hoping it will escalate to the extent of the great UK Baked Bean price war [ah, halcyon days - Ed] with consoles selling for as little as 9p (okay maybe I'm dreaming a little).

What are your thoughts on the price war? How much do you think Microsoft will reduce the 360 by? Let us know in the comments section below.
