The following software was also reduced in price:
Xbox Music Mixer - $19.99
Project Gotham Racing 2 - $29.99
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge - $29.99
Counter Strike - $29.99
Voodoo Vince - $19.99

It is not currently known whether or not similar cuts for Europe are planned, though a UK price adjustment has been suspected as being close for some time. Prices in Asia are unchanged at time of going to press.

What about the Australian price cut? How come you don't mention that?

Humm, about time M$ decided to cut the Xbox price. But I don't think it'll be enough to catch the GC, which is currently at 2nd place. Maybe if they cut it to $99 they could pass the GC. But it's a little to late to catch the PS2.
PS2=70+ Millions units sold
GC= 15+ Millions units sold
Xbox=13.1+ Millions units sold.

This welcome, but late now Mr Gates. Should have done it over christmas, and i might have one by now. Still, a worthy purchase on my list. It will have a lot to do, to overtake GC. But theres still Halo 2, Half life 2 and GTA San Andreas to come out yet, I guess. Hurry up with the U.K price cut.
