    They just signed two of the largest movie studios, Paramount and Warner Brothers, and you give a thumbs down?

    For the record, they just added the following movies too: "Braveheart, Team America World Police, World Trade Center and South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut".
    So, like I said no new movies, and crappy tv shows. Plus Warner only signed to provide their direct-to-video content...

      If those movies did not exist before on the service, how are they not new?

      If you're talking about release dates, WTC is fairly new.

        I'm talking about release dates. Already seen WTC when it was released last year.

          I just cannot believe Asher is excited by Guitar Hero. He must be trolling.

            That was my first thought too. But then I realized it was Asher we were talking about. There's no way he'd do anything like trolling.

              It's a good rhythmic game. Some great tunes on it, too.

                When are these price cuts coming? I think I will get an X-Box 360.

                  They were supposed to come with the Elite's announcement, but they weren't. So, I don't know if they are coming soon.

                    They might be waiting to see how the Elite does? Or waiting for the fall to coincide it with Halo 3 in the hopes of moving even more systems?
                    I make movies. Come check 'em out.

                        Given that the elite is launching at $80 more than the Premium, I'm not surprised we aren't seeing price cuts.

                          But Asher promised them in OT. I read it on the internet so it must be true.

                            I would expect when the Wii is no longer supply constrained. Or when the PS3 gets some decent releases. Or when 360 sales start to fall off.

                              Microsoft doesn't care about the Wii any more than it cares about what Tiger Electronics is doing. It's not in the kiddie novelty market.

                                Got news, for you Asher, to most normal non-geek folks the 360 IS a novelty, as is ANY gaming console - and the older teens and 20 somethings who play it are not considered significantly different from kiddies.

                                As for MS, they are concerned with anything that effect their sales. To the extent that there are any households that do not intend to be multiple console households, for whom purchase of a Wii is substituting for purchase of a 360, (and IIUC there are some, although those are not the hard core 360 early adopters) it could well impact the 360 pricing strategy.

                                Was it not you yourself who said earlier that there would be price cuts designed in part to undercut the Wii?
