Microsoft has cut the price of Xbox in North America to $199 this morning [15 May], confirming the suspicions of industry observers and analysts. The price cut puts the console at a rough £137.

I wonder just how much Microsoft is losing on the sale of each Xbox? At that price, and with its inbuilt capabilites, I would imagine that the Xbox would make quite a nice compute node for a cheap Beowulf-type cluster.
