Ok maybe not the government, but Sony and Microsoft.
They been keeping hush hush on some big news, and in two days it has been revealed. And I mean BIG.
Ok maybe not big, but to me its pretty big.
Its bad news for both company's, but good news for consumers.
Today it has been reported that the price of the PS3 will indeed be dropping to 499.99 as reported at Kotaku. This is no big deal to me, as I already own a PS3, but its just funny how Sony repeatedly denied this price drop, and yet there it is.
The price drops July 15th. Still in my opinion, yer better off with 360.
I can say that with a bit more confidence since the other breaking news from yesterday.
This is the real big one.
Microsoft Admits Xbox 360 red ring problem!
Last week my 3rd Xbox 360 got the red rings, which pretty much means death for the xbox 360. We'd given up hope that Microsoft would fix it for us. It was out of waranty, and they had given us a hard time on our 2 previous machines that red ringed. Well it looks like Microsoft is finally stepping up. We called up Microsoft support last night, and they quickly took care of us and will indeed fix our 360. The announcement microsoft made said
"The majority of Xbox 360 owners are having a great experience with their console and have from day one. But, this problem has caused frustration for some of our customers and for that, we sincerely apologize," said Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft's Entertainment & Devices Division. "We value our community tremendously and look at this as an investment in our customer base. We look forward to great things to come." more at Kotaku
Microsoft has extended the warranty to 3 years for any red ring related defects. I can now officially sleep a little better at night.
I talk about videogames way to much. Right now I'm playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma on PS3 and Super StarDust HD also on PS3.
