Nintendo has said that the price cut by Sony on the PS3 will not affect its plans and there will be no price reduction on the Wii in the near future. The Wii costs $250 which is half the price of the (now) $500 60GB PS3. Though, the price cut on the PS3 isn’t really a price cut, it’s to sell the remaining 60GB PS3s which will then be replaced by the 80GB model for $600.
Have you ever had a desire to stand ten feet from your computer and, with a flick of the wrist like a jealous Wii gamer, lower your computer’s volume? If you’re anything like me, chances are no, but Logitech’s new MX Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse will let you do just that.
With the recent announcement in the US of a $100 price cut on the 60GB Sony Playstation 3, many Euro Sony supporters were left feeling under appreciated. Euro gamers already received the shaft when Sony provided only limited backwards compatibility in Euro PS3s due to cost cutting measures.
It seems that Sony isn’t at all interested in competing with either Microsoft or Nintendo on the console front. Sony is doing what Sony does best, cutting out its own market segment, losing money and generally making everyone unhappy. The company recently announced a $100 price cut on the 60GB PS3 so it stood to reason that there would be two PS3 consoles on the US market, the 60GB for $499 and the 80GB for $599, not so, says Sony.
Microsoft has finally admitted they have a problem. With the number of returns on the Xbox 360 increasing and the sheer number of units being sent in for repair, the company has finally decided to do something about it.
With the ever-popular Guitar Hero II dominating Playstations and Xbox’s worldwide, how does Microsoft’s pet Harmonix take control of the near-monopolized market on music gaming? Its simple: sign two of the biggest rock bands in history, Metallica and The Who.
After many rumors and denials by Sony itself that the PS3 would not see a price cut, effective immediately, the PS3 is now priced at $499 which is $100 less than the original release price.
After denying rumors that the PS3 would see a price cut, it seems that some stores are now selling the PS3 for $499 down from $599. Sony just as recently as yesterday said the PS3 would not see a price cut. That has not stopped some stores from offering the $499 price.
Microsoft has taken a beating time and again for building the Xbox 360 with subpar components and poor construction. A number of gamers, current figures say around 33% are having problems with their Xbox 360 failing with the “red ring of death†syndrome. PS3 and Wii owners love life because those consoles have a failure rate of 1% or less.
Microsoft has all but admitted it was wrong. Due to the sheer number of complaints from customers about the “red ring of death†failure that has plagued so many Xbox 360 consoles, Microsoft is extending the Xbox 360 warranty to three years.
