According to the article, a new 360 is coming at the low price of 279.99. I don't see any information about it's specifications at all. What it will lose or gain. What are your thoughts on this?

But the difference between 1 dollar vs 2 dollars isn't that much compared to $479 vs $600 since the price point is much above most average incomes in luxury items. A $100 price drop fro Sony does a lot more than a $100 dollar price drop for M$. At some point, the AFFORDABILITY has already been reached.

so true ^ ^

It's awesome. I'll get the "other console" now with the packins and then next year (or the spring after) get a PS3 after KZ 2, MGS 4, and FF 13 looming on the horizon. This is definately one of the best gens yet in terms of quality and competition.

The 360 is aiming at Wii buyers, and seems like a well targeted package. I bet it does well. I don't see the market for a $400 bare bones console (the PS3), especially if what I heard is true - the 40GB PS3 does NOT have backwards compatibility for PS2/1 games.

360 core is like 250 now,, is it not? So Im sure they can go lower also. I mean that thing cant coast much to make compared to the PS3. If they both get under 400. Many will own 2. But I would not buy a 360 unless it was under 200. Becuase I wont give that company any more BS money :P. Plus that system is only worth about 1/4th of what a PS3 is coast wise. But ill get one when it gets under 200. Im sure most everyone in the US will have all 3, or a 360 and PS3 by 2011. And most in Japan and the world will have a Wii and PS3 by 2011. And then the 3 last yearsafter2011, should be pretty sick with the highest level of all the machines.
