I agree a $100 pricecut would be nice, but they really don't have a reason to cut it that much. The hardware is still selling very well compared to PS3, even after their, uh ... "pricecut" - with the 65nm chipset (probable implementation in September) & the serious cost reduction that it brings, a $50 now & another $50 after the 65nm chips are in production makes good business sense.
M$ doesn't need a pricecut to compete with PS3 this holiday season at all. I ...
I will agree that Sony has made strides with their online service & the obvious fact of being free. Too say it has *no* downloadable content is absurd. However, it does not compare to XBL on any level at this time, IMHO - not even counting downloadable movies & tv shows that yes, u have 2 pay for, but it is a nice option. There are so many demos, game trailers, movie trailers, arcade games & so on, I don't see how a comparison can be legitimized on any level whatsoever.

Sorry DubC, I'm not a Wii hater. My nephew has one & it's fun. It is what it is though, & I would much rather support a HD console. Put to you this way: If the PS3 & the Xbox360 BOTH were to fail, while the Wii continued to kick ass, then HD gaming & Games like GEARS OF WAR or MGS4 or KILLZONE 2 would not exist. Do you have a Wii ? Does playing Wii sports or even Zelda fulfill all your gaming desires ?
@ Eagle Eye - Yes, the xbox 360's software sales are higher than even the Wii's. But, obviously not in hardware sales.
@ PS360WII - You answered your own question : "Granted that there are more then 10 games in the world...." Think of it this way, probably 90% (or higher) of ppl that purchased the Wii bought Zelda. Do you think even 50% of Xbox360 owners (with half the Wii's install base) bought Crackdown ? Probably not.
@ Odion - You are correct sir: &...
Yep, this sort of thing happens when they are uploading new demos to the servers.
Xbox360 owners have:

I disagree, look at what Sony has done to consumers & you still support them. Console defects are nothing new, & M$ has stepped up to the plate. Sony didn't give a rat's ass when PS2's were clearly defective & did nothing for consumers but DENY. Sony has ALWAYS over promised and under delivered.
Let's take a brief look at how Sony treats consumers:
Paying people to advertise their PSP through graffiti, puting programs in music files that make systems ...
Oh Yeah, GEARS with SLASH ?!? SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEETT !!
Very mature. Very Unbaised. I REST MY CASE.
Yet another FLAMEBAIT article submitted by a FLAMER & A LIAR !
Hee hee hee, Tease me all you want little girl -
YOU ARE THE APPARANT B!TCH & A F#CKING LIAR !!
P.S. - You can come see me ANYTIME you want, PM me little F@ggot, I'll split the airfare with you, shove the directions right up your a$$, & show you where I'll post your next RED RING ARTICLE !!!!
Such lang...
Right, So in summary you are saying:
"We need to post Every 360 Failure Article we can find out there, regardless of how credible it sounds, so we can help out those poor, poor Xbots. Even though M$ has extended the warranty to 3 years & claims to have the solution to the problem, & has commited to fixing ALL red rings out there, & is finally implementing the new chipsets, I just don't think they know what they are doing - I don't trust them. I want to help all...
This one has the lowest credibility yet !
ELEVEN 360's - Heee hee, YEAH RIGHT ! AND HE HAS AN ELITE - How long has that model been available ? Are we to believe he had 99 xbox's die on him, M$ fixes them, but apparently he choses to go out & purchase a Elite ? Surely he's not implying he has had 11 Elites ? In what time frame ? When was the first box returned ? You are looking at 3-4 weeks minimum turnaround to send ONE box off, get it repaired, & then sent back ! How l...

Yeah right. Eleven. Might be ALITTLE more believable @ 4 or 5. I've had mine since 4/2006 - no problems, runs all day sometimes - I regularly play GEAR OF WAR for endless hours with my friends, never ever had any problems. Who approved this sh!t ?
Eleven ? I wonder when he got his 1st console, adding in time for shipping back & fourth, what's that ? A new 360 every 21 days ?
More F#cking Fascist Propaganda for N4G. What a joke ! Nice picture from Llamma.com ...
OH NO SIR, I hope the little Flamers continue to boycott games that go multiplat & form their petitions against games like DMC4 & Grand Theft. Their moronic sense of reasoning (much like their flameboy comments) will backfire when Gaming Companies like Capcom & Rockstar see how positive their Xbox360 software sales are compared to their negative PS3 sales... Go Flamers, Go Flamers !
You don't want COD4, Asssassin's Creed, DMC4, or Grand Theft, they're for XBOTS ! Yo...

"looks like in cod3 but one level higher" ... "everything looks not so good" ... "nevertheless i wait for this game, and want to know how it turns out"
What a hypocrite! Why do you want a game you are soooo unimpressed with ?!? What a joke. Do yourself a favor, don't get COD4 & go play some Echochrome.
