The Xbox One price cut comes into effect this coming Friday, the 28th February, although some retailers seem to have, ahem, jumped ahead: the previously reported news that Simply Games were offering an Xbox One discount "for today only" now should have read "for today only this week, apart from Friday".
"It's about giving gamers in the UK the best possible value that we can," Xbox's UK excellently-named Marketing Director Harvey Eagle told us in an interview this morning. "We feel the time is right now to do this because Titanfall is coming out. It's the game that most gamers are looking forward to playing, and we think that this is a great time to offer this new price point moving forwards, and include the game while stocks last."
"Titanfall is a game that has won more than 80 awards so far, it's incredibly hotly anticipated, and I believe it's a game that people will buy an Xbox One in order to play. But moving forwards if you think about what I think are the three hottest games of the year to come, Titanfall, Watch Dogs and Destiny, the only place you're going to be able to play all three of those games is on Xbox One."

Xbox One has been cut in price to £399.99 and will come with a copy of Titanfall.
The price cut follows a tricky start for Microsoft's new console. The machine has sold ok since launch, but has been eclipsed by its rival – PlayStation 4.
The new Xbox One comes with Titanfall packaging, an Xbox One console, Kinect sensor, Xbox One wireless controller, headset, Xbox Live Gold and a copy of Titanfall.
It also comes alongside a series of service updates to the Xbox One, as Microsoft looks to improve its online service ahead of the launch of Titanfall.
The new bundle will be available to order at retailers from February 28th.
