One thing that Sony's pricing announcements for the PS3 should have completely quashed was any rumor that the 360 would be enjoying a price drop at the end of the year. Why drop a price on your three to four hundred dollar system when the competition is releasing theirs at five to six hundred?

Nevertheless, the rumor persisted; we got emails, insistently burbling about an imminent price cut that would be the one-two haymaker that put Sony down for the count definitively.

A price cut on the 360 would, of course, be great, but Microsoft's denying any plans: A spokesperson said, "We have no plans to make any price adjustment. Xbox 360 is a great value proposition." Bummer, but that anonymous spokesperson is right... at least you don't have to pluck the gold fillings from your bicuspids to afford a 360. - Florian Eckhardt
