Attendees of the IFA (one big German electronics show) are reporting that Microsoft has unofficially announced that the 360 HD DVD player add-on will be receiving a price cut in Europe. The rumored price cut will drop the HD DVD player add-on by 20 euros from 200 to 180 euro. And even though the price drop hasn't officially surfaced in press release form or no date for when the new price will go into effect was announced, we advise future HD DVD player purchasers in Europe to hold off for a bit. Let's see what comes of this 20 euro price cut.[Via NEXT Generation]

Yeah if i could get the movie deals i'd have this already. Would be nice if we got as much consideration as the US eh?

The hd-dvd is available from webhallen in sweden for 187 Euros already so after the pricecut it´s gonna be even sweeter. And also if you trade in your old premium with 5 games (bought used ones myself for 10 euros a piece before the trade) you get the nice black Elite for only 11 euros. mmmm I likey

Djaknet: Where can you get the Elite for only 11 euros? Because I cannot find it on webhallen.

Let me ask you this - would YOU pay $245 US for a 360 HD-DVD player?
Cos thats how much 180 euros is....
Or what about $80 US for every single game?
How about $17 for 1000MSP?
