Xbox One’s price drops again in the UK

Posted on April 13, 2015

Microsoft has lowered the price for the Xbox One in the UK.

The company is now advertising the system for £299.99 instead of its most recent price of £329.99. Eurogamer reports that Microsoft is claiming the price drop is a retailer promotion, but also said the same thing last year when the system’s price dropped in September in the territory.

“This is a UK-only retail promotion,” a Microsoft spokesperson told Eurogamer in a statement, “and offers great value for fans looking to buy an Xbox One ahead of the launch of 2015’s highly-anticipated games like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain and Batman: Arkham Knight, along with Xbox exclusives such as Rise of the Tomb Raider, Forza Motorsport 6 and Halo 5: Guardians.
