Seems that the UK has received its own price drop on all models of Xbox 360 shortly after the US one. All prices will be slashed as of August 24th (when the elite hits the shops here). This new reduced price makes the Core system as cheap as the Nintendo Wii. Here is a quote from Stephen McGill, head of Gaming and Entertainment, Xbox UK.
Reduced Prices
Core: £179.99
Premium: £249.99
Elite: £299.99

Stephen McGill said:We're pleased to be able to offer Xbox 360 at a new, lower estimated retail price. We pioneered the successful concept of multiple products for multiple categories of consumer. First-timers will love the Xbox 360 Core system, which offers an affordable entry into high-definition gaming. The Xbox 360 Elite, with its large hard drive and wireless controller, will appeal to casual and experienced gamers and families.
