Finally, some good news on the Xbox front to report...this story at Eurogamer has the news that Microsoft, no doubt bowing to pressure put on them from investors, has decided to lower the European price of the system to €299 (about $260). This will almost certainly help Xbox sales in Europe, where the system previously went for the obscene price of €479 (about $420) and oddly enough, makes this the first time in recent memory that an American console has sold in Europe for less than its domestic price.

• Never one to let Square hog the spotlight on anything for too long, Koei has formally unveiled Nobunaga's Ambition Online, a massively multiplayer RPG for PS2. This game appears to be a standard MMORPG, a distinct contrast to the turn based strategy of the previous Nobunaga's Ambition titles.
