For months, the Web was rife with rumors that Microsoft would ship the sequel to Halo 2 for the Xbox 360 simultaneously with the launch of the PlayStation 3. Now, that has been confirmed by none other than Bill Gates himself.

Microsoft corporate vice president J Allard has confirmed that the Xbox 360 will be priced "in the neighbourhood" of $300, which was the initial launch price of the Xbox, with a final decision on price to be made in about two months.

Gamespot is asking the same question we all are…will the Playstation 3 be the same price as the PS2 was when it was released? The first two Sony efforts went for around $368 USD, and lightning may indeed strike three times. Though Sony has said the console will run at $466 USD, they recently told business partners that it would be closer to $370 USD. If true, this could mean more money in our pockets for actual games. If not true, we can always sit and stare at the cool console design until the next paycheck comes in
