New PS3 chips slash build prices in half
Changes to the hardware SONY uses in it’s PS3, including changes to the cell processor are helping SONY nearly half the cost of building each PS3 Unit. Japanese analysts responsible for revealing the figures also suggest that - in spite of Sony’s hopes - the games section of the firm will still lose money this fiscal year. Nikko Citigroup reckons last year’s £1 billion gaming loss will reduce to £715 million this year before turning around in 2009.

Sony PS3 sales rise after the price cut
Sales in the Sony PS3 have risen over 250% in the US and have also overtaken the Wii in Japan for the first time.
Latest figures from the US show price-cutting there has seen sales leap by around 250 per cent in the week ending 11 November, compared to weeks before the October price snip and launch of the new 40GB model.
In Japan, a traditional Nintendo stronghold, it’s the same story with the PS3 finally managing to outsell the mighty Wii to the tune of over 20,000 consoles in the last week.
I suspect that the main reason the PS3 overtook the Wii in Japan is because of the worldwide shortage of the Nintendo Wii.
Stock of the Wii is selling out as soon as it hits the shelves, and the demand over the Christmas period is going to be huge, but Nintendo seem to have trouble keeping up with the demand for the Wii, so I suspect a lot of people who can’t get their hands on a Wii will be buying a PS3.

UK Xbox 360 Prices Get Cut - Elite Coming Friday
Microsoft has reduced the price on its Xbox 360 consoles.
The Xbox 360 Premium will now sell for £249.99 down by £30 and the Core console will now sell for £179.99 down by £20.
The move comes ahead of the launch of the Xbox 360 Elite which is available in the UK from Friday for £299.
I just can’t see how Sony and their PS3 can compete with these prices, you can buy an Xbox 360 Elite plus the add on HD DVD drive for less than the basic PS3.

Xbox 360 premium Gets HDMI
Microsoft have announced that their Xbox 360 premium console now comes with a HDMI out.
Here’s Microsoft’s official statement:
“Yes, we are offering an HDMI port for Xbox 360 simply as another choice in Xbox 360 owners’ games and entertainment experience. Retailers are gradually introducing HDMI-enabled Xbox 360s into the channel to meet demand.”
Thats seem pretty cool, it seems like this is only in the US at the moment but this is bound to filter over to the UK soon.
I was considering getting an Xbox 360 Elite when they are available here, but if the premium console comes with HDMI out I may go for one of those instead, depending on the pricing compared to the Elite.
