"I think every console in the world has had a price decrease sometime in the first few years.
I don't know whether we'll have a price decrease in the first few years, and I don't want to comment on that, but I will highlight for you that every console has had a price decrease in the first few years," he said.Vague, obvious, and emphatic all bundled into one.
This part is not for the Xbox but could affect it 3X DVD introduced: HD DVD, now in lower resolution!

...3X DVD-ROM disc was officially mastered over the weekend, a move that some think will allow HD DVD to become more popular and possibly even win the ongoing "format war" with Blu-ray...
"...the report we’re getting on the confirmed shipping of the new 360 to retailers is straight from within a Canadian Best Buy. The excited source told us that they’d be receiving the shady rendition in about four months’ time."
"XboX does not control the retail price of the XboX 360 videogame and entertainment system - prices are set by retailers. The promotion that Makro is running is not endorsed or administered by Microsoft." A Microsoft spokesman added.
AK says: I think microsoft will announce an official price drop at the same time as a new XboX
Currently, there are only 32 new PS3 games for sale at Sonystyle.com: Six of them are ready for delivery, 13 are on backorder, and 13 can be pre-ordered for when they are finally released
AK says: Wow only six games!!! is that right??!?! I have to agree with all of there top 5
Just so everyone knows - the Xbox 360 core units being sold at £149.99 offer at Play.com is now over. The price has returned to the not-quite-so-pleasing £199.99. Shame, because I was hoping to take advantage of that offer today...
Bummer that. I wouldn't get a core unit though. Not unless all you want to do it play made for 360 games.
Only takes a hard drive though and your good to go, and maybe an update downloaded on PC and put onto disc and installed to 360 (i had to settle for a core unit many moons ago ) it was last in stock for 4 months so i had no choice.
