Play.com is selling the Xbox 360 Premium console for just £169.99 in the UK – £30 less than the console’s SRP.

However, Microsoft has distanced itself from the price drop, telling VG247 that it wasn’t a first-party directive.

“That must be their own deal,” said a Microsoft rep. “It’s nothing to do with us.”

MCV has contacted Play.com for further explanation.
