E3 - Prediction Xbox360 will have a Price Cut Announcement Tonight

Following confirmation of a PlayStation 3 price cut, several industry analysts are indicating they are expecting Microsoft to follow suit, despite the Xbox 360’s sales lead. Analysts are also expecting a price drop on one or more of the Xbox systems, between $50 and $100. Microsoft should be announcing the price drop at their tonight’s E3 Microsoft press conference.

My Prediction is that Microsoft is going to drop the price of the Xbox 360 Elite from $479 to $399, the Premium from $399 to $349 and the Core from $299 to $249.

We Can Only Hope ….. More Info After The E3 Microsoft press conference Ends.

FATAL INERTIA: Futuristic Combat Racing Game for Xbox 360

KOEI, today announced that Fatal Inertia is scheduled to ship to North American retailers on September 11, 2007 for Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Fatal Inertia is the debut title from KOEI’s Toronto-based development studio, KOEI Canada. The team is led by Producer Takazumi Tomoike, creator of the Dynasty Warriors series, and KOEI Co-Founder and Chief Advisor Yoichi Erikawa, who under the pen name Kou Shibusawa is regarded as one of the world’s top video game designers.

About Fatal Inertia
In the middle of the 22nd century mankind’s thirst for excitement has spawned an evolutionary sporting event that draws from the combined disciplines of rally racing, demolition derby and high-performance aeronautics. In this brave new world of combat racing, gravity-defying machines are no longer confined to the speedways and stadiums of centuries past. In this grand spectacle of racing, the amphitheatre where drivers must prove their superiority is the untamed wilderness.

Through harsh environments spanning dense rainforests to immense glacier fields, and canyons of razor-sharp rock there is little room for error as drivers will reach speeds of over 500 mph. But Fatal Inertia is not merely a test of speed. The brave men and women who choose to compete must face the mental and physical punishment of low-altitude combat maneuvering.

In Fatal Inertia each craft will be armed with a unique array of unconventional weapons that manipulate velocity, force and even time. Explosive magnets that impact racecraft stability and rockets that can counter thrust and velocity are just some of the dangers drivers must face. But with each racecraft hovering just a few feet from the earth, any misguided attempts to evade or dislodge these weapons can result in total (if not fatal) disaster.

Powered by the award-winning Unreal® Engine 3 from Epic Games, Fatal Inertia boasts fast-paced single and online multiplayer experiences, eight racing series, six distinct racing environments, plus full racecraft customization. Fatal Inertia delivers a glimpse into the future of racing in stunning 720p HDTV and in game Dolby® Digital audio.
