XBOX 360 - Going up by GBP 30

The basic Arcade Bundle is to increase by UKP £30, and the Live Arcade games 5-pack offer will soon come to an end.

We hope that this is a short-term move considering the British Bank Holiday at the end of the month, which traditionally sees a small blip in last minute entertainment purchases before children return to school. Considering the price rise could fund a game it's all the more galling for UK buyers. It could also affect high street retailers unless they are allowed to be creative with their independent bundling.

On balance, it's a deliberate upsell to the first MS console bundle with a hard disk, the Elite. There was no mention of the Premium so like the PS3, a new hard disk size may arrive to become the new top of the range, possibly helping to shift any eventual Project Natal Bundle.

With any luck, the current rise will be "All over by Christmas"...
