Put an elitebundle out in October/November with Forza 3/Halo ODST for $299. This would sell amazingly. I know they won't, but it would definitely put a damper on Sony's parade.

FFXIII bundle in japan or GT5/uncharted2 bundle in NA and europe will blow that away.

misleading title, i thought something was confirmed with a new game announcement or something. sony could always counter by including a game like uncharted 2 or gt5 if that comes out this year. we'll have to see what effect this price drop has, microsoft might not bother if the impact isn't too large and the 360 continues to sell well.

If they did lower the price they wouldn't bundle new games with it.

If Microsoft wanted to beat this, they'd bundle Natal with the Elite for $299 and launch it this fall.

No Im just sick of the PS3 fanboys blabbing about the PS3 selling 800 million units in september. MS could easily counter it with something better.

They'll have a 2 game giveaway sure, but I don't think it will be either of those 2 new titles. Sony is likely going to have their own freebies in November(game+movie).

You already have a 360, I don't understand why you care. And Sony could just bundle something like GT5 and Uncharted 2 together which would do even more damage.

I dont really but Im just sick of the PS3 fanboys rejoicing that the 360 is done. I am rightfully defending a system I own. If theyd a said nothin, Id a done nothin. And yes, a GT5 bundle would kill for sure. But no one knows when they hell thats coming out, and I am pretty mad about limited car damage.

And if they did launch Natal this fall I bet it would be a buggy and broken mess. Just like the 360 is.:twisted:

It's only a few of them saying that, every console has had that kind of crap thrown at them at some point. Did you have the same attitude against 360 fanboys back in 2007?

I don't understand how people have so much zeal for a console. Why can't they just play their favorite console or handheld? Why do they have a need to defend their console in the most obnoxious manner?

I own every console bro. Im just trying to counteract all the PS3 rabidness in SW at the moment. Announcement of a 100$ price cut and new design doesn't change a whole lot if the 360 lowers its price too.

I never understood the hate for another console. It's a good thing that Sony is releasing the slim at a very attractive price point. It's a win win for gamers and Sony. Not so much for 360 fanboys apparently...... :|

FFXIII bundle in japan or GT5/uncharted2 bundle in NA and europe will blow that away.

ironicly the games that sell the systems are the opposites in both bundles. Halo would sell that bundle....and GT5 would srll the PS3 bundle! uncharted and forza....well not so much forza since the last one sold well...but uncharted wouldnt really be a super heavy hitter.

Very misleading title.

Anyway, it wouldn't make much since, especially to pack in Halo ODST. The game will most likely sell well anyway. IF they were to do that, they would essentially be giving away those games for free.

I don't think anything M$ does at this point will slow down the PS3. After this price drop, PS3 sales are really going to pick up, no matter what M$ does.
