Well if they want to get into region specifics the 360 is now 170 euros down from 399 euros in Europe from what I know with the Arcade being 130 euros. Even bigger drop if I am not mistaken. Either way, the argument that Sony is desperate is full of fail.
So no matter which way they look at it 360 has had more price drops and slashed more off their price WW than the PS3. All because it was being outsold by the more expensive console on a weekly basis WW. So which sounds more desperate with this info in hand? They made 2 price cuts in about 6 months in Europe.
I just hate the ill informed $200 PS3 price drop argument.

Microsoft's price drops have coencided with chip modification and price dropped with cost. This is not desperation... desperation is dropping stuff off your console to get the price under control. The only think Microsoft has removed from their console is RRoDs. I can go point out how Sony's views on BC have drifted completely to the Microsoft side... it was good in the beginning, but really just not needed as we can see from sales charts that are much higher this year without it then last year with it. If sony can't get it down to 300 with current specs I'm sure non-essencial things like Wi-Fi will be the next to go. We can counter eachother all day long, but the truth is that the PS3 isn't some f'n super console that will suddenlly fly off to crazy number and take WW sales away from MS this year or next year.

Microsoft did not fix the RROD, that is the biggest myth in the world, on youtube there are tons of videos of Elites getting RRODs, better yet I know 2 people that got 360's for christmas last year and both had the RROD by the time GTA4 came out, RROD will always be there due to the poor design of the 360.

Jasper says hello. He moved in in september and he's here to say. Sure there were x360 that would still RRoD if they're older models, but new ones shouldn't have the problem. Can they? Sure they can but you'd really have to in an oven for that to happen.
Heres what MS did do though, they extended warranty on all xboxs to 3 years and put aside $1 billion to fix consoles bricked by RROD. You're a bit ignorant to say that MS hasn't have incentive in the past 3 years to fix the problem

it would still happen, even they improved the failure rate rrod is likely to happen, also its doens't only happen due overheating but also many other hardware problems.
you know 3 million people suing m$ would be a bigger problem than 1 billion lost due faulty hardware.
search 360 rrod or red ring of dead in youtube and you will get tons of them.
many recently and some even got 2 in the same week, of a new bought system.
