With the Microsoft key-note due within mere hours - can we also expect to see cheaper 360's within the same time frame?
That's become more of a possibility over recent days, but today that rumour has acquired a little more substance. It was widely expected that we'd see a drop in RRP of some sort during the early months of 2008 - keeping in mind there were no announcements pre-festive period and with PS3 gathering momentum, now would seem like the perfect time to strike a blow.
Bit-Tech: Perhaps the biggest surprise was that the tide of console gamers is a cultural phenomenon which does not appear to cross every border. According to NPD's research, while the UK has the highest incidence of console usage out of all the markets analysed Germany boasts the biggest number of PC gamers.
France, meanwhile, is clinging on to dedicated hand-held consoles like the Nintendo 3DS and Sony PlayStation Portable at a time when NPD's analysis shows that gamers in most other nations have ditched theirs in favour of getting their portable gaming fixes on smartphones and tablets.

you mean like japan, europe or the US where the 3ds is breaking records?
People are ditching the 3DS so fast in the US, 3ds sales have doubled over ds first year sales and the year isnt even over.
No source, no truth
who approved this garbage?
but 250 million global online PC Gamers say other wise.
Everyone with a Gaming PC can play Wii Games so does that mean the world is a Wii Nation?
I think people just enjoy Games and it really doesn't matter the platform.
Console Nation, PC Universe, iPhone Realm, doesn't matter just enjoy your Games.
Considering most PC Gamers will own 1 or more consoles , declaring the UK as a "console nation" is complete and utter bollox.
owning a console and playing the occasional game once in a blue moon doesnt make you a console gamer. Just like owning a pc and maybe playing some random flash game doesnt make you a pc gamer. Alot of pc gamers bought ps3s, its a blu-ray player and media hub that plays games.
I'm from the UK and game on nearly every platform I can think of.
But yes in general I'm more thumbs than fingers when It comes to my games.
Remember in December of last year when Paul Christoforo became the pariah of the internet? Ocean Marketing was at the center of a scandal that took the internet by storm after Christoforo exchanged rude, angry emails with a customer of Avenge Controllers, for whom Christoforo was providing customer service. I recently had the chance to speak with Paul about the whole ordeal and what his life has been like since.
With the upcoming release of the Star Wars Themed Console, GameExchangeShop.com takes a look at reasons to get excited for the game and looks of the console.
That does look sick and the sound is even more awesome. Too bad the darn Xbox 360 is so expensive still.
When the Wii U drops the xbox prices will take a serious nose dive. Hopefully they still have that particular one floating around retail.
And give away a free Hd Dvd add on with it and all the HD films that are out and 5 games and a free year on xbox dead(live)
I'd still tell them to Kiss my ass right in the middle !!!

Playstation 3 gets an advantage with the Blu-ray press, Microsoft aim to stop it.
But this is the same mistake they made with the Xbox 1. Making it too cheap makes consumers think it has less value. Befor Microsoft stopped production of the Xbox 1 you could buy in the shops with 2 games and 2 controllers for £50 quid! little more than the price of a PS2 game.
Dropping the price too fast makes the wider public think that Xbox are have a closing down sale.
wow i am sure sony would not expect this.
Dark Sniper thinks Micro$haft should fix RROD before even thinking of dropping the 360's price tag
