RE: Microsoft to cut Xbox 360 price tag

The last I heard, the 360 still out sells the PS3 on a month to month basis in the U.S. and Europe, except for themonth that MGS 4 was released (which was expected). Admittedly the 360 barely beats the PS3 in month to month sales, but it does. Only in Japan does the PS3 outsells the 360. In fact the Blue-Ray format is trouble from what I have read. Movie sales are lack luster, as cutomers prefer to buy DVDs (at half the cost) and play them on upconverting DVD players (at 90% of the quality of Blue-Ray). In fact stand alone Blue-Ray players (not the PS3) cannot be upgraded (firmware), and therefore cannot take advantage of the never ending updates pushed out by Sony and are being phased out (perhaps a new stand alone player will replace them, but that screws all those who already bought one). The future is digital dwnload, even Sony sees that, although not for another 3 to 5 years.
