Good news on Monday?

Hey All,

Looks like Microsoft has confirmed an HD-DVD price drop: (Is this really good news????)

Check out the article from dbtechno.com

Boston (dbTechno) - Microsoft has confirmed that they are dropping the price of the external HD DVD player for the Xbox 360 from $129.99 to $49.99. This comes just two days after Microsoft confirmed that they would no longer produce the HD DVD player.

Bloomberg is reporting that a Microsoft spokesman has told them that the price point of the external HD DVD player for the Xbox 360 will drop to $49.99.

The reports state that the price cut of the external HD DVD player for the Xbox 360 will go into effect as of tomorrow.

Amazon still has the player listed at $129.99, but this is likely going to be changed in the next 24 hours.

Microsoft is trying to get rid of whatever stock they have left with the Xbox 360 HD DVD players.

Rumors persist that Microsoft is getting an external Blu-ray player ready to release on the Xbox 360 this coming May, now that the Blu-ray format has won the high-def format war.

Went to a trade show over the weekend for the equine industry. It was okay got some much needed contacts and such.

Didn't realize so many cowboy hats existed. Holy mary, everybody had a friggin cowboy hat.Everybody but me of course. I must have missed this memo or something.

Games this week:

Lost:Via Domus

Frontlines Fuel of war

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty

My Dilemma:

I, just like most people only have limited funds that i can throw around. Now here are 3 games that, at least on the surface have promise. I am really torn as to which one to try. Just like any other person i am a fan of FPS (frontlines, Turning point) but i am also a fan of games in which i actually have to use my brain (lost).

Dilemma gets even bigger:

Frontlines- although not expected to change the FPS is getting better than average reviews. suprising most.

Turning Point- Demo was average at best. Haven't seen any reviews yet (which always says something).

Lost- Ubisoft's attempt at recreating the show that i stopped watching a 1 1/2 years ago. (missed two episodes and was consequently screwed from that point on). I have actually seen a 9/10 review on this.

For what it's worth:

I rely on reviews a lot. I can't help it. If i am going to shell out 60 bucks on a game i want someone to blame if it's crap.

Some help here would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!

See Ya

Jon
