Japan may be happy, because there's another pricecut on its way. The Xbox 360 Premium-pack will be in stores for 34,800 Yen (214 Euro) and the Core-edition for no more or less than 27,800 JPY (171 Euro).

These prices are about half of what we pay in Europe for Microsoft's console. They will also release a new bundle in the east, containing the Premium Pack, Viva Piñata and Forza Motorsport.
