Xbox 360 Stock Orders Limited

Microsoft has limited Xbox 360 stock for UK retailers this week amid more rumours of a price cut.

MCV reports Microsoft has put a limit on orders of 360s from retailers so it can manage the current stock ahead of its console reshuffle.

A couple of weeks ago, UK retailer Argos claimed Microsoft had discontinued the Pro 60GB version of the console. Subsequently, there have been numerous claims by industry analysts that the price of the Elite will be dropped to counter the announcement of the PS3 Slim and the PS3 price cut.

Though Microsoft has stayed quiet during the rumours, OXM recently hinted that a price cut is imminent on its Twitter page. 

Am I the only one getting a bit tired of all these rumours? Everything seems to point to the same conclusion of an imminent price cut, so shouldn't Microsoft just come out and announce it? Let us know your thoughts of the whole debacle in the comments section below.
