    But why is this a happy day for wii/360 users? I've never got that. I'm looking forward to the PS3 coming out as it might drop prices on the other consoles.

    Well I can understand having a personal preference for a console, but what I don't understand is actually wishing ill on a competitors product and wanting it to fail. If a competitor drops out then you end up with poor features and high price.

    I also don't get people who rejoice in 'Console Z only!' exclusive games. Why does it matter that someone else on a different system can also play a game? Either people are really selfish and actually don't want anyone else to have fun, or they're so insecure about their own purchases that they want to pretend to themselves that their system is better value 'because it can play these exclusive games'

    I very much doubt there will be a price drop. The Wii won't drop as it would only just be out, and is much much cheaper than the PS3.

    The 360 won't drop either, since they're already making a loss on each console, why would they want to make an even bigger loss when the PS3 is already £150 more expensive than the premium 360?

    I think kalniel was joking about the PS3 price drop... but the Xbox 360 has already dropped in price.

    You can get a Core system for £199 from Argos.

    yeah, I just find it funny. Sony isn't too bad for Hi-Fi, but everything else, nah, stuff it.

    their tv line is probably better regarded among enthusiasts than their hifi kit - they don't do anything good high-end with hifi..

    everything they do is very nicely designed, but not necessarily the best. the apple of the electronics world

    By £10, not really a price drop IMO.

    Anyway, everyone knows the core 360 isn't really a console.

    hehe more like the 'old' apple =)

    the 'new' apple (since jobs came back on the scene, and especially recently) are cheaper than direct PC competitors, have some pretty amazing top end kit (top end mac pro?) and they make prettier products than any other competitor ;p
