I agree. MS had no idea this was coming. Took them completely by surprise. What ever will they do?

I hear they are going to bundle copies of Windows 7, Office 2010 and a Zune HD with every Arcade/Elite this Christmas in hopes of countering the PS3 price cut. But im not sure its going to be enough, as the Xbox 360 still costs $300 + $300 (6 years of Live) + $100 wireless + $200 BR. They cannot compete with a PS3 which is 1/3rd the price.

To be honest.  I knew MS was up a creek when Sony released Home.  It has been all downhill from there.
