Shadowrun Priced

Shadowrun comes out on May 29th. Right while I'll hopefully be enjoying some Halo 3 action. The release date has been out for a little bit, but now the prices are confirmed.

Since Shadowrun is a multiplayer only game, there had been some speculation that it would come out at a lower than $60 price. Unfortunately, Micro$oft says no. Shadowrun for the Xbox 360 will be $60. Interestingly, Shadowrun for Windows Vista will only cost $50.

Microsoft says it is because those are the standard prices for those systems. However, I know of a number of games which are released at lower than $60 for the 360. My guess: wait a few months and you'll be able to find it cheaper.

PSP Price Plunge Predestined

According to several sources, Sony is going to announce tomorrow that the Playstation Portable (PSP as it's called in the hood) will drop in price. Currently the handheld system runs you a cool $199, but will drop to $169.99. Wow $30. That's really gonna blow the dust off of those units and now they should start flying off the shelves.
