Microsoft has revealed there are no immediate plans to drop the price of the Xbox 360 despite suggestions with the PS3 launch taking place in November, that Microsoft would hit back and drop the price of the console.
Chris Lewis, a representative from Microsoft Europe has replied to a rumour that they would drop the price by $100.
"We have no plans to make any price adjustment. The last couple of days have reinforced the fact that we have a great value proposition, giving consumers choice, thanks to the core system. We’re not forcing the consumer down a route with HD playback. We certainly don’t think it’s necessary to make any changes to the current price point."
He went on to talk about Microsoft's Live Anywhere and how it will be a huge step forward.
"“We’ve got quite a lot going on. It’s a hugely significant time for us and for gaming in general. We don’t have any plans to do anything in the handheld space. What we see as important is convergence and what we’re doing with Live Anywhere presents a huge step forward in terms of being able to experience the games on the device of your choice.”

$100 dollar drop in price? That's insane. The price is fine where it's at now, anyway.
