Retail Ads Hint At $50 360 Price Cut
Following closely on the heels of Sony's $100 cut in price for the PlayStation 3, retail ads seem to indicate an upcoming $50 price drop for the Xbox 360. Gamespot investigates the rumour: "It's clear that a number of retailers are expecting an Xbox 360 price cut next week, so much so that they're willing to buy print advertising for it. If that's the case, Microsoft almost certainly told them to expect a price cut, and when it would be fine to start promoting it. When Microsoft actually decides to announce it remains to be seen, although sources close to the software giant are grousing through back channels that the discounting's cover has already been blown." This comes right on time for the annual release of Madden, Bioshock, and Blue Dragon.
Go. Fuck. Yourself.
How fucking pathetic do you have to be to sit around on Slashdot typing out damage control for the worst console hardware ever designed that has already had enough cash, 1.1 billion, set aside from the manufacturer themselves to fix ever single 360 ever manufactured?
You're a loser. A complete and absolute loser. You are the poser child as to why the console world despises Microsoft, the Xbox, and its fanboys.
Console gamers must be queuing up as we speak after this bold move from Microsoft!
* Weeks to months of sitting around waiting for your 360 to be returned from Microsoft for its latest RRoD repair!
* Forking out 50 dollars every year just to be allowed to play games online!
* No dedicated servers for online games!
* Disc scratching DVD drives!
* Jet engine loud DVD drives!
* Shitty last gen looking graphics in Microsoft's big first party titles like Halo 3 and Forza 2!
* Completely botched backwards compatibility!
* That wonderfully secure confidence in the Xbox brand that Microsoft could pull the plug on the whole mess at any moment like they did with the first Xbox disaster!
