The rumor is that Microsoft is going to announce a price cut tomorrow as a response to the PS3 price cut that took effect today. If true then the $299 Core pack will drop to $249; the $399 Premium pack will drop to $349; and the recently released $479 Elite model will drop to $399.

Could Nintendo be next? Not likely. Sony is droping the price of the PS3 only 8 months after launch out of desperation. Microsoft has had 1 and 1/2 years to get the production cost of the 360 down so a price cut is not going to hurt there bottom line. Nintendo also has only been on the market 8 months and they have already sold almost as many Wii's as M$ has sold 360's with no sign of slowing down anytime soon so I think Nintendo will keep the same price tag until at least next summer, but who knows.

I think I'll buy a PSP slim once the firmware it comes with is cracked.  To watch movies on.  I said movies, not UMDs. :P
