[Rumor] Xbox 360 $100 (total) price cut in August

By the time this goes into effect, the console will be nearing the two year mark of its life, so it isn't exactly surprising that a price decrease is coming, and was probably in the works for a while. The PS2, which you could favorably compare the 360 to, in terms of popularity in its generation peers, enjoyed a similar $100 price decrease prior to its two year mark in the US.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I already can see people complaining about a game not using enough the wiimote. hell, it already happen with mario party 8 where people complain about to much mini-games not using the wiimote...

If you are a person who is only going to buy one console, and you have three consoles to choose from, you're going to choose the one that has the features you are most interested in. Maybe it is the Xbox Live service, or the unique control method on the Wii, or whatever PS3 has, Blu-ray I guess. Well, if you get the 360 because of Live, and you get a game that doesn't utilize Live, you will be disappointed that it doesn't use the main feature that you were looking for. If you get a Wii for the controls, and the game doesn't make use of the unique controls, you will be disappointed. I guess for PS3, if a new movie doesn't get released on Blu-ray, you will be disappointed {obviously PS3 is different because its main selling point for me was not game related}.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Whatever, you both know that if you ask nearly any 12 year old boy what his favorite game is, you'll hear a whole hell of a lot more Bungie-shooter 2 than some Zelda crap. You ask almost any 12 year old boy what games he is looking forward to and you will hear Bungie-shooter 3 and GTA 4, not Mario Party 41 or Ace Attorney 3 or tooned-up-jap-disco-ball-4.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The only reason Sony has these so called plans for after 2007 is because the release dates on their big named titles got pushed from 2007 to 2008.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Don't forget F-zero and Mario Kart.

I was speaking idiomatically.
