MS cut the cost of the 360 in the USA and i think this may be why the price cuts are here now. I think the credit crunch may have something to do with it but why Sony and Nintendo followed suit?

EDIT - Just found this today. Someone is in trouble!!!

Microsoft was forced to bring forward its European 360 price cut following the now notorious Woolworths leak, a source has said.

While the new price points came as no surprise, it seems that last week's very public Woolworths catalogue leak - which showed the revised prices - forced Microsoft to bring forward the announcement.

As one industry insider revealed to us yesterday, Microsoft had been due to announce the price cut (along with a new Bungie game) at a rumoured European event next week.

So the article also states, Microsoft is "furious about the incident." And with good reason.
