Separation Anxiety…

Its Finally Dawned On Me
So recently, Square-Enix went on the record talking about wanting a “Win-Win-Win” situation between the Wii, the PS3, and the X-Box 360. And to support the (right) notion, SE decided to release two games on each console.

PS3, Wii, or X-Box 360? Everybody Wins…?

That’s Too Expensive…

Sony Caves…
But That’s Still Too Expensive…
No?

Recently, the Playstation 3 console’s price was cut for the market of Japan. No surprise there, seeing as how gamers there are very loyal to the brand, in addition, to the massive negative reaction to the upcoming consoles price.

While the price was lowered, that new price of $420 only [...]

Good News Everyone…

Sony Caves

Well, it would seem that Sony caved into demands that it slash the price of its Playstation 3 console in Japan. Along with the price cut comes the fact that the special high-def feature comes standard as well.
The price cut lowered the price by a good 20%, reducing it to $420 or a low [...]
