well being cheaper than the PSP and the Dsi does help O_o
but why people are buying the arcade?!

To play the multiplat,consoles only and exclusive games,what else?

You do realise that the 360 is far more powerfull and with far more games than PSP and DS...I hope.

arcade too stripped own, the only reason i see for the arcade it's to replace a 360 if u had one for cheaper.

% arcade too high.

about the price? then it should cost a bit more?,

Are you joking?

No console can outpower a handheld in terms of library, bar perhaps the PS2 and SNES.

360 destroys PSP for library...

That's debatable.

The DS, however, undoubtedly destroys all of the current gen consoles in terms of library. I want one

Reasonable on 17 December 2009

Well, this particular retailer doesn't matter in terms of UK trends, but I expect 360 to sell more than PS3 (and less than Wii) during December.

Sales have been pretty even between PS3/360 since slim, with former 360 advantage down to a slim difference most weeks, bar those with something like the exclusive MW2 bundles or the like.

However, the price cuts on the Arcade should ensure that 360 get's enough of a boost to sell more for the next few weeks. I'd love to know if MS is funding this, simply because that would make sense and it feels like a vendor funded drive to me; I can't see why the retailers themselves would be so generous about cutting their margins at this time of year otherwise.

Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

This is one of the rare occasions where the first statement of the post answers the last.

ya thats a decent price but youre right demonfox13, all the accessories they have to purchase to get the full experience will more than make up for it.

To what "full" experience are you alluding too?

Cos I have experienced both my Xboxes to the full. One has a Hard Drive and a live subscription I do not use Wi Fi cos it is pretty much shit (I am a HomePlug man) the other has neither but both have given me a "full" experience. The word my friend is choice, which has always been a tick in the box for the 360 not a dulling effect.
