Well after being in level 20 for about 49 days, which was starting to get annoying but I made it, now I'm a Rescue Ranger. Well This is all I have to blog about for now.

Also I got the Mortal Kombat Emblem which everyone seems to have, looks kind of cool and it start's my third row of emblems.

Rumors are starting to circulate out of Taiwan that Microsoft could be planning to give Sony a big launch surprise – a price cut of up to 100$ a console.

This would put the price of the Pro System console at $299, in comparison with Sony’s $599 and also offer a good price point versus the Wii. The explanation for the potential price cut comes from component makers who are saying that “the total production cost can be reduced by 15-20% due to diminishing costs for most components along with increasing production scales and decreasing defect rates.”

Microsoft has denied the rumors, but they’ve done that before  only to turn around and issue a drop. Add to that the fact Microsoft has said in the past that consumers could expect annual price cuts on the machine, and the rumors seem to carry a little more credence.

As the official launches for the PS3 and Wii draw closer, it would make sense for Microsoft to issue a price cut at this time, even if it’s just another small one with a big one to follow some time next year.

If the rumors pan out, the pricing would position Microsoft very well to compete in the market. The pricing structure alone right now gives the Wii a big edge on the general market to capture buyers beyond the “serious” gamers and fans of one console over another. The PS3’s pricing will make it a hard sell for “average” buyers while the 360’s might still be seen as a bit too high.

As it stands right now, it doesn’t look like the PS3 will be much of a factor this holiday season due to anticipated console shortages and the reduced launch numbers, but Wii could be a real factor. A pricing change by even a small amount could make the 360 look even more attractive to buyers.

Whether the drop comes now or sometime next year, a cut doesn’t sound out of the questions for Microsoft, especially since the costs of creating the console are starting to streamline

Well I achieved my goal of reaching 12000 posts now for 16000, I got a long way to go and I made another  sig but not with Captain Jack Sparrow in it, but with Banjo, Kazooie, and Mumbo Jumbo some of my favorite characters in the Banjo-Kazooie Franchise to celebrate the announcement of Banjo-Kazooie 3 and Banjo-Bear Avatar.

Well I'm designing again, but not for long and I managed to make two new sigs, I like the first one personally and it's about Obi-Wan. Just prepare for it to be slightly cut off

and another Captain Jack Sparrow Sig

Leave any feedback on the two of them until next time.

Well it's been awhile since I last made a blog post, and for this one I have to say that I have a new banner. Credit goes to mutti92 for making it. I got tired of my old one for awhile now so I decided to get a new one and here it is.

Well it's Hurricane Season at my place Deep South Texas and well if any of you have heard what Hurricanes can do..... yeah you get the picture. I'll be less active from now on for awhile so you won't see me as on anymore, and yes I do go outside >.>.... anyway From what I've heard there is a tropical storm on the Caribbean or so and it might become a Hurricane, however it may hit Florida and not Texas. Well I'll keep myself alert just in case.

I've been with GS for half a year and I've accomplished this much in that amount of time.

well these are just some of the things I've gotten during my stay here at GS.

Well I finished Dirge of Cerberus a while ago and made a review about it, though it's not as long and as detailed as my DW5 review it is still pretty good, I would appreciate it if you read it and recommeded.

Well I managed to get a new Sig, it's about 500x150 in size and it look's pretty good to me. Here is how it looks like. Leave any feedback. Probably be cut off though when you see it.

Had it requested by a user in a union that I'm in, I would've made it myself but I quit designing since eh.... I've been to busy to deal with that stuff. Well Blogs and Unions can be tagged now with this new feature GS added, actually it was here a few months ago but was taken out, I've tried it with my own union but the tags just disappeared oh well.

As many of you may know I've already entered Level 20 a few days ago I've just been to lazy to make a blog about it, and boy it's slow but not as slow as it is exaggerated.

Last but not least My Dirge of Cerberus Review should be done by tomorrow up and ready. I won't put as much effort into it like my Dynasty Warriors 5 one, but I will make it my second best Review. Well this is all I have for now.

I made a review for Dynasty Warriors 5, I made a review earlier but I didn't put much effort into it, I would appreciate it if you read it and recommended for me, took me a while to get it done and it is long be prepared feel free to leave any feedback. My best Review was of Battlefront 2 which had the most recommendations.
