Just what I don't need...

Maybe you heard that the PlayStation 3 recently dropped in price to a slightly more reasonable $499. I fully expected an immediate counter-punch from Micro$oft in the form of a price drop for the Xbox 360...that didn't happen. Rumors are starting to surface now, however, that the price drop will come in a couple of weeks (down to $349) and coincide with the release of Madden NFL 08.

I can only hope that this feeling will pass soon, as similar ones did for the PS2, but I want to buy one! I don't care much about Madden but I long to play NCAA Football 08 and lead the Auburn Tigers to back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to...(you get the idea) National Championships. I haven't owned an NCAA football game since NCAA Football 2005 for my Nintendo GameCube. Quality stuff there.

Surely I don't need to cave in now, though. There's the "red ring of death" to look out for. As well, I don't even have an HDTV. It won't quite be the same as playing at my amigos' houses w/o one. Plus, I own a Nintendo Wii and it's mainly collecting dust (and pet dander, eww) because I sill play World of WarCraft so much. They don't make the NCAA football game for the Wii, though.

Maybe I just need to buy an HDTV too. Hmm...
