There's a lot that went on for Microsoft this week. Not only did they game assets/ data revealed, they also have movie adaptations of their games to look forward to, as well as new online features for the XBL.

And what's this? A hundred bucks' worth of price cut on the Elite unit? Maybe that's why they're not too worried about the rumored PS3 price cut, cos they're gonna get a headstart on it?
