30k down in Americas, i bet another 20k drop will happen in EMEAA. PS3 tops 360 again, MS really should have made that price cut. I dunno if except for CoD week, weather or not 360 can top PS3 WW again. I hope Forza 4 week it does, but that's not a guarantee with the high price of 360.

Damn greedy MS, you lost my buy next gen because of this and other cash grab tactics.

Again with this, Michael. Every week it's the same crap. Microsoft is not greedy, it's solvent and profitable and quite frankly, that's the way they should keep it. Failing to procure extra income is not being generous or charitable, it's being just plain stupid. I'm glad, unlike you Michael, that Microsoft doesn't hate money. Next gen, I for one, will miss you! [sobs quietly...]

No they are greedy. The 360 costs less to produce then the PS3, and offers less (no Blu-Ray). At the very most it should cost on par with PS3, they both had a price cut in 2009, and the cost of production on both consoles has dropped equally. It makes no sense that the 360 cost more then the PS3 ontop of other charges MS gives. MS is greedy, plain and simple.

You'll miss me?

Microsoft is a freakin typical crap US company. Overprice goods, build to the lowest bidder, planed obselence of product. This is why the US Auto industry has died, and this is why almost all technology comes from Japan, Korean or Finland. It's called quality control, and MS plain and simple doesn't have it. If your going to sell a product for $300, make it worth $300, stop trying to rake in cash. This is why MS will never be ontop for gaming platforms.

I also hate XBLG, not because they charge online, but because there is no real alternative to a 1 year plan.

Three things:

1. Two things killed the US Auto Industry: the United Auto Workers (UAW) and the 1973 Oil Crisis. And a failure to adapt, yes. So three, I guess. Microsoft is not that kind of company. Xbox LIVE itself is very innovative. Kinect is great technology; check out Forza 4.

2. Do you think SON¥ cut the PS3 price because of their aversion of money? They cut it to increase sales of said console and curb the effect of a strong yen in order to (wait for it) increase profit. So did Nintendo, with the 3DS. Microsoft will cut price when Microsoft needs to.

3. All the joy of LIVE, 3 months at a time.
