					  <description>Cheaper consoles are always good news......And the latest price drop might at last mean that it'd be viable for me to ditch my constantly Error-74-ing console at last. MCV has confirmed that Microsoft plans to drop the price of the Xbox 360 SKUs across the board, in some cases to lower levels than it'd cost you to buy a Wii (actually with the price some retailers are charging for Wii packs that's been the case for a while now!) </description>
