This Friday, September 19th, Microsoft will be cutting the cost of its Xbox 360 console to as little as ?129.99.
The drop in price comes just weeks after similar price cuts in Japan and the USA, and Microsoft will be subsequently expecting a significant boost in sales.
However, the tech-savvy consumer may find that the days or weeks following the price cut may not be an opportune moment to buy, and the reasoning is Jasper.
Jasper, a codename given to an upcoming Xbox 360 hardware revision, will provide - we hope - a cooler, quieter and more reliable Xbox 360 console. The revision isn't the Xbox 360's first, either. Since its launch in November 2005, Microsoft has upgraded the Xbox 360's innards on numerous occasions. The trouble is, it never tells us when, or what to expect.
