Such is life. However, with the recent drop in price of the XBox360 to less than the cost of a Nintendo Wii I can't help thinking that Sony will have to drop the price of the PS3 or their sales are going to just evaporate, i.e. XBox360 £160, Wii £180 PS3 £299 (obviously, these are full RRP) which one does the cash strapped Parent buy ?
