just one thing the desperation is on sony side they cannot afford price cut this year, where xbox360 still have a room for more price cut this year or 2009
especially when valhalla mainboard finished for slim redesigned xbox

about ps3 vs xbox 360 price cut

Xbox 360 launched 3 years ago at £280. The same model (well, actually it's better as it now has HDMI and 60gb HDD), is now £170. That's £110 price cut in 3 years.

PS3 launched in 18 months ago for £425. It now costs £300. That's £125 in 18 months, ie, half the time.

win.

 

 

Quoting because it needs to be quoted.

Ahah.. too funny

OT - Its not desperation or confidence - Its pricing "strategy", its a normal step for gaming consoles.

 

Quote again since it seems Sony fanboys are failing to see the irony in their posts (OP included).
