hmm here its only the old price http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product...ducts_id=12975

If you looked at the link you'd see the price is from a leaked BestBuy flyer for the 13th. So it's possible there's going to be a decent price drop at E3.

Microsoft apologizes for the faulty 360 consoles (3 red lights of death) and announces an enhanced warranty for all their consoles (3 years in all):

oh, sorry the price should be dropped after mid July...
but there is no official anouncement yet (from sony) and i think it will be time limited.

Good move, but why can't they just fix the damn console? -____-

I'm sure they've been trying for a while
On a sidenote, snkupo is a happy owner of a 360 bought on release. No repairs, or overheating problems.

Just wait till the day your warranty ends...

It's okay. Xbox 360s are pretty cheap by now

Finally they are taking responsibility for their consoles.

I didn't believe the percentage rates of busted 360's that were on the net but I can assure you... this things tend to break in their 1st year. I can tell since I have sold these machines and, unfortunately, seen those same customers bringing them in for an replacement when the dreaded RROD shows up.

I was abstaining from buying one until they released consoles with the 65nm die shrink... but with this new warranty it makes it even more interesting.

Saying that Microsoft hasn't been taking responsibility for the issues with their consoles is a little mean (I can't find a better word, but no offense to you) in my opinion. Replacement of Xbox 360 consoles has, as far as I knowm been easier to get from Microsoft than for any other console released in the near past. Of course it's incredibly sad that there's so many issues with the 360 as there is/has been, but customer support/Microsoft has been very nice this time around, when it comes to people who want new consoles because their old ones broke. That's at least how it seems to me, here in Europe.

Have you guys seen the newest Resident Evil - Umbrella Chronicles video? I'm glad to see the multiplayer options for this game have been confirmed.

Click where it says New to watch it: http://www.capcom.co.jp/bio_uc/

Thanks for the link, Cookie Monster. Every video I see makes me want the game even more...... and I get the feeling that it will be sold out when it is first released (good thing I preordered it ).

So Bleach Wii and Bleach DS are coming to the US. What's more surprising is that Bleach Wii isn't going to be cut at all. All 32 characters present in the Japanese version are going to be in the US version, even ones who won't be in the US anime for OVER A YEAR.

didn't you read they are spending 1 billion dollars, meaning you can send in your console and get the extra heatsinks and such + the three year warranty


Edit: btw is anyone else going to preorder persona 3, i don't know if its just limited quantities or if you preorder you get the art book and soundtrack

Limited quantities (it is an atlus game after all....) . Pretty sure the art + soundtrack is standard.
