Dropping the price, bringing out new configurations and launching Halo 3 upon the gaming world does not seem to be enough pressure from Microsoft against its competitors. Sony have confirmed the new cheaper 40GB PlayStation 3 will hit the market soon, in PAL territories at least. Adding the production car racing game Forza Motorsport 2 as well as the comic battle styling of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance to their U.S. bundles, Microsoft are stamping the Xbox 360 as a gaming machine for consideration by holiday consumers. Both games will appear in bundles for the standard Pro and Elite editions at US$349 and US$449 respectively. Meanwhile rumours of the demise of the Core Xbox 360 in favour of an Xbox 360 Arcade System continue to flourish. In essence the rumours point to a US$279 system being release before years end. This box would be a low end machine featuring no Hard Drive (but with a 256MB memory card), wireless controller and free Xbox Live titles possibly pre-installed. At this point there has been no confirmation of the system by Microsoft. |
