I am actually a little tempted by the new lower price but one thing I noticed in shops is that PS3 games seem VERY expensive too. Compared with the others that seems an awful lot to lay down for each game.
In general is it far to say that Xbox 360 games are cheaper than PS3 games or not?
As I have no previous PS2 games the lack of backward compatbility isn't too much of a problem for me and one thing I really RESENT about the Xbox 360 is having to pay to connect to Micorosoft over the internet for Xbox live.
I don't think they should have cut features to reduce the price, just bring it down to a SENSIBLE level, it's screamingly obvious that the best part of £425 is too much for a console! Even £300 for the downgraded version is a lot to pay when the Xbox 360 premium is £50 cheaper and plays pretty much the same games, at the moment I don't care about Blu-Ray.
My main problem with the Xbox 360 is that too many of the games (and certainly the good games) are FPS and I just don't see the point in playing FPS games on a pad when I have a very nice PC with a mouse and keyboard.
I think it's tempting to get lost the tech but it should always be about the games, what they are, how good they are and whether I want to play them. For me at the moment I actually prefer what's out for the PS3 but I don't think I'll buy one yet.
