Wall Street Journal Jump On The 360 Price-Cut Bus

Because it just isn't a 360 price-cut rumour party til the Wall Street Journal turns up. According to "people familiar with the matter", the 360 Pro's price will be cut by $50 "as early as Sunday", just in time for Microsoft's E3 keynote on Monday. As with the other 1,097 price-cut leaks, there's no word on whether the Arcade and Elite models will be slashed as well.

"Major Retailer" Confirms 360 Price-Cut

The Hollywood Reporter are...reporting that, according to a "major retailer", Microsoft will indeed be slashing the price of its Premium 360 bundle next month by $50, from $349 to $299 (no specific mention of the Arcade of Elite). They also say the cut will come into effect before E3, which takes place in a couple of weeks. If anyone's wondering as to the reliability of this "major retailer", it's worth noting that the Hollywood Reporter nailed the timing and details of the last price cut, which took place in August 2007. It's a safe bet these are the same sources.

Euro 360 Price Cut Coming?

Come this Easter, buying an Xbox 360 in Europe could be cheaper than picking up a Nintendo Wii. News from various industry sources over various web sites suggests that the Xbox 360 is getting a €50 (around £40) price cut across the board come March 14th. Such a move would put the Xbox 360 Arcade system at a price of £150 - less than the price of the £180 Nintendo Wii in the UK. TechRadar attributes the rumor to several well-placed industry insiders, and has also claimed to have gotten confirmation from several retailers in the UK, while several other sites contacting UK retailers have failed to elicit any comment whatsoever. Still, Microsoft recently dropped the price of the 360 in Canada, so I'd say this is one rumor that will more than likely come true. Happy Easter Europe!

Xbox 360 HD DVD Price Plummets

In case you're still holding out hope that somehow, someway HD DVD will make a last minute comeback and triumph over blu-ray as the high definition DVD format of choice, then has Microsoft got the deal for you. Effective today, the MSRP of the Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on is dropping from $179.99 USD to $129.99. The price drop effects the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. As Microsoft's Larry Hryb points out, once you figure in Microsoft's ongoing five free HD DVD movie offer, which is still in effect until the end of this month, they you've got one hell of a good time to get in on the Betamax of the 21st century!

40GB PS3 Dated

We know the 40GB PS3 is coming, with Europe already having a firm date for the console, but now The Hollywood Reporter is reporting...from Hollywood, possibly...that the 40GB PlayStation 3 will be hitting U.S. store shelves on the 2nd of November. As reported earlier, the new 40GB model will have two fewer USB ports, no memory stick capabilities built-in, and software BC support. The article states that at least one major retailer has confirmed the date, with reports that retailers are being urged to clear out their stock in time for the $399.99 systems to hit.

Euro PS3 Announcement At E3

Okay, so Luke might have been a bit off on his predictions about when SCEE would be handing out a piece of that sweet price cut pie to European PS3 hopefuls. In his defense, he did indeed say "Sometime this week?" tentatively before following his instincts off a precipice to be dashed on the rocks below. A Sony Computer Entertainment Europe representative has since been in touch with the folks at GamesIndustry.biz to reveal a major announcement regarding the PlayStation 3 dropping this Thursday at E3. No specifics were given of course, but the rep did state it would be related to the North American price cuts and model shuffling officially announced this weekend. More »

PSP Price Cuts Coming to Europe

For weeks now the US has been basking in the warm glow of PSP price cuts, while the Europeans looked on with very slight interest for just a moment and then went back to doing whatever it is they do with their bad European selves. Well now it's our turn, as Sony announces the PSP price cuts are coming to Europe and the UK on Friday, May 4th, which should do lovely things for PSP sales between now and then. More »

Another Analyst Suggests PS3 Price Cut

Yet another market analyst has chimed in on PS3 pricing. This time it is Goldman Sachs Japan's Yuji Fujimori, who predicts the North American price of Sony's new console to drop as much as $100 in October.
Yuji Fujimori wrote in a note Tuesday that lowering the cost of the game console, which competes with Microsoft's XBox 360 and Nintendo's Wii, will not undermine the unit's long-term profitability.

Fujimori cites the lowering of component costs as a major factor in his analysis, and went on to mention that cutting the price of game consoles have traditionally quadrupled sales figures. More »

EA Current-Gen Price Cut Extends Further

We reported in January that EA was cutting the price on current generation games, but GameDaily Biz pointed out that these price cuts extended deeper than the Madden and Medal of Honor games that were originally among the reduced price titles. What else? How about EA's first person shooter Black due Feb. 28 and The Godfather both hitting shelves for $39.99? Sounds good. More »
