So much for Blu ray not being necessary. According to Microsoft the 360 is barely half way through it lifecycle and already more and more multi disc games are popping up. Swapping discs around might not be a big deal for most people, but it does show how wrong many people were when they said that DVD capacity would be enough for this generation. Another 12 months and we may well statr to see most 360 games coming with more than one disc.

80GB model is already down to £199

I don't believe this. What retailer updates price drops in their systems 3 months before they happen?jakarai

Umm, pretty much every large retailer does this.

I work for a very large online retailer and we have new PPD codes for the PS3 slim which are tagged for April. The 250GB slim is going to be £199 and the 120GB version looks to be discontinued. A 250GB PS3 slim for the same price as a Xbox Elite, game set and match to Sony I think.

Yeah, when I want to be taken seriously by criticizing the 360, I put my username as teh_cell. Nobody can tell that I am a fanboy, works likea charm :roll:

If you needed proof that MS is trying to join the Wii as a console for casuals the NXE is it. Childish cartoon characters representing you and your friends, it's awful. It needs to be scrapped and replaced with somethingmore nutral like the XMB

Which is overpriced?
