With the launch of the PS3 slated for some time later this year and Microsoft's new Xbox 360 already out, now is the obvious time to make such a move.

With the PS3 now less than a year away, Kraft and Kwak are surprised not to have seen price cuts already—but word on the street is that they will be here soon.
