What Price Cut?

Ever since the PS3's price was unveiled, people have been speculating about the somewhat immenent counter-swipe that Microsoft would take to lower the 360's price. To the misfortune of those people planning to get their mitts on one this winter, a MS spokesman said ''No such thing is on the cards currently.''

However, despite this, he did also go on to say that, ''Xbox gamers will be in perfect glee this holiday season playing games on the "affordable" Xbox 360 while others will "go broke" because "they're forced to buy movie technology with their game console." All well and good, but all the same it'd be nice to see some confrontation kicking off between the rivals.

Also, take heed that the spokesman said ''no current'' plans - leaving the door open for a price drop should Microsoft see the need to.
