Ars Technica and their mole extraordinaire have uncovered possible price cut plans for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles, just in time for early Holiday shoppers. We’ve been hearing PS3 price cut rumors for the past two years, and nothing ever came to fruition. Normally I’d be skeptical and even cynical, but it’s do or die for Sony and the PS3, so maybe their bean counters finally decided, “Hey, if we sell them for less, we’ll stop hemorrhaging market share!” With game developers like Konami and Capcom making previously Playstation-exclusive titles for the Xbox 360, it seems this could be Sony’s last-ditch effort to get more PS3s in more living rooms.

When it comes to GPS accessories , there are plenty. Most systems for automobile use will come with a dash or windshield mount and power cable, and handheld systems usually include the necessary cables and wrist strap or belt clip. But you might find, just like the GPS systems themselves, that your GPS accessory needs differ from person to person and activity to activity. For use inside vehicles, getting a system with weatherproof covering or a waterproof design probably isn’t as important as if you wanted to use the system while hiking. Likewise, having a spare battery is probably more applicable with a handheld rather than an auto unit that can run off the car’s battery through an AC adapter.

I know that’s a headline you weren’t expecting to see, but some enterprising bloggers have actually posted some well reasoned arguments for why the Windows 7 pricing structure is actually pretty good. Frankly, we were happy enough that Windows 7 was announced yesterday to be cheaper than Vista, but it gets better. If you adjust for inflation, Windows 7 is cheaper than every other version (both consumer and pro) of Windows to date.

After mentioning Comcast’s digital switch on Monday , I heard from several “expanded basic” subscribers who said they’re losing channels. What’s happening, according to spokesman Steve Kipp, is that Comcast has started converting blocks of channels 30 to 70 from analog to digital. As reported earlier , expanded basic customers will need to have some sort of Comcast converter box to get the digital channels, even if their TV has a digital tuner.
