I wonder if they'll give a price after the xbox confrence, just incase MS drops thier console down later this year due to the PS3[/quote]
thats what i am thinking...if the egm report is true and it is $250, and msft goes and drops the cost of there systems, then a 360 could be the same or less then a $250 wii...that would ruin the argument I have been hearing for months about how an uninformed parent walks into store, see's 3 systems, and wii is a lot cheaper so they buy that for there kid.
I haven't seen the presentation yet,(stuck at work, need to wait for the boss to leave to DL it.) so I don't have any opinons. It is great they had some good trailers/demo's of games. But the fact they didn't talk about the virtual console, price or release date may hurt them. Yes they sounded better then sony's (I did watch that), but if the highlight was only games, msft can't do much worse. As I would imagine the majority of there press conference will be games as well. It would come down to what games you like to play. While I don't need a price, or an exact date, (the november statement is good enough for me) I would like to know more on the virtual console, the games available, the cost etc...If they had some major announcements on that, that imo could have killed msft chances of sneaking in. As excited as some nintendo only fans are about some of the games shown, there will be as many excited msft only fans to see gears of war, halo 3 etc...
