With the imminent release of the PS3 slim version, which will be cheaper than the regular Ps3, Microsoft have announced they are dropping the price of the Xbox 360 so that they can stay competitive. The new Elite console will be around £30 cheaper than it was before. However Microsoft wont be supplying a HDMI cable and the entry level console, the Arcade, will go up in price by £30. Well done Microsoft you just shot yourself in the foot. The Xbox 360 and PS3 battle is going to be easily won by the PS3 unless Xbox 360 remedy this rather ridiculous ‘price cut that isn’t actually a price cut at all’.

Bing is where its at…..

Microsoft are going after Googles domination of all things internet by releasing a software developer kit so that iPhone app developers can integrate Bing. Currently Google is the default search engine, which can be switched to yahoo, but any other search engine has to be used by going to the URL. It is a good move for Microsoft because the iPhone market is growing everyday, but I dont think they have a chance in hell of getting everyday users to convert from Google. The only people I can see getting excited about this is Microsoft fanboys and people who have a vendetta against Google. Even if you do not agree with how big Google seem to be getting and are a bit scared of what there domination of the internet could bring (cough the anonymity news recently) there just isnt really any decent competition, the only thing close is yahoo and they seem to just be run from googles results now!
