X06: Moore - "no Xbox 360 price drop"

As the happy campers in attendance at X06 pick up their bags and head home from Barcelona, it has emerged that despite rumours to the contrary, the much vaunted Xbox 360 price cut is not coming.

And seeing as Microsoft did not take the opportunity of using X06 as a platform for any such announcement on the subject, many of you will not be surprised.

But this point has been further affirmed this morning following online reports that in a behind closed door discussion with Senior Vice-President Peter Moore, he has stated that a drop in the Xbox 360's price was never even considered at this stage. The Microsoft big wig went on to allegedly comment that the big M was currently happy with the hardware price, as it's comfortably bracketed between the delayed PlayStation 3 and cheaper next-gen option of Nintendo's Wii.

The 360 price might not be dropping, but i'm almost sure he's gonna drop that xbox 360, how embarrassing would that be for him lol haha and MS corporation!

at least he can pick it up in one hand. better than ken needing a forklift for the Ps3/george forman grill.

O...K...cracking yourself up there.

anyway, M$ will dual out that card when it is needed as a move against PS3.

sorry all i lowered myself to a fanboyish level for a minute there i just couldnt help it. i have no bias on either side of the war i own a 360 and will hopefully get a PS3 when the price drops in a year or so. it just drives me mad that people have to find the most pointless stupid things to try and have a dig at MS.
i think all fanboys should be put on a ship and sunk out in the mariana trench so the rest of us gamers can make posts that are actually interesting and/or relevant.

I just thought the picture was funny.

This is LAME! We already knew there wouldn't be a price drop. They have said it many times.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 4h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 3h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast6h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake23h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast6h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Not all games “look” current.

anast6h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
