not much -- unless you want to run into hardware problems. I'd just wait until that new chip comes out for the 360, to see if that even makes a difference.

Well the 360 will sell more units than the PS3, it will be just like before the PS3 dropped it's price. Plus the Core 360 is now cheaper than a WII.

Not sure about that. The core was 299 usd, with the price cut I believe that makes it the same as the Wii.

You are correct...if it is cross SKU that would make the 360 Core the same price as a Wii

Are you sure that this just is not a temporary price drop or sale that Wal Mart is doing? Cause you know a lot of stores tend to drop the price for a short period of time in order to clear out old units that have been sitting on the shelves.

Weird how the PS2 continues to fly off shevles and it has the same features as the Core.

Useless!

Ok.. now i know this could bode well for the 360, probably will, however...

Is this MS's final trump card? I mean, we have yet to see their 08 releases, (i highly doubt GeOW will come out in 2008, seeing as how they've technically only had about a year to work on it...)

So.. what is next for MS? what if.. (hypothetical) the price cut (assuming there is one) doesn't turn out as well as they hope it will?

Not with Consoles. They only make a $5 markup at best, so to sell the console at a $45 loss is suicide when you are talking about millions of consoles.

The PS2 has a MUCH larger/more diverse library than the 360, not to mention its reliable :D

then that should mean the Wii will start slowing down in sales, given that a TRUE next gen console is now the same as this so called "modified gamecube"

In 08 you can be pretty sure that Msoft will have:

Banjo 3

NG3

Kameo 2

These are just some guesses but they seem pretty logical.

Reliable and PS2 should never be used in the same sentence my friend.

Not much, or even nothing. 50 bucks ain't going to cut it, if it was $100 then were talking a different story. Also because of what happened on the Today Show, I think that will effect says a little too.

I'm not even sure that add is from wal mart because I called them and the manager knew nothing about it, but she said it could be some sort of coupon deal.
