All I can say is that Microsoft seem very confident about themself as they're going up with a $299 priced 120GB HDD non-DVD bulky console against a $299 Blu-ray equipped 120GB HDD Slim console which has GT5 around the corner.

I dunno why they dropped the ball.

I am with you on this, I really expected them to pull out all the stops the measures they seem to be about to announce do nothing to lessen the revived PS3 in my opinion. The price rise for example in the UK is just crazy.

I hope they have another something to give before the Xmas peak shopping period. They have the new functionality and some good games they should now work on the price.

i can recall an interview  a while back, in where microsoft said something similar to what tretton said on fox news the other day, ie regarding losses on consoles replying with its all about the software + peripherals etc. which is fair enough

but the arcade will stay where it is imo. its at a mass market price, regarding the elite im not sure, its just been massivly dropped, how much more they can drop with the 120 gig hardrive i have no idea.

just for arguments sake, if they dropped from $299 to $229 for the elite, how much would the 120 harddrives then retail for
