AS PREDICTED here, the maker of game gear, Sony has announced that it is dropping the price of its PS2.

In a press release, Sony says that the recommended retail price for the PlayStation 2 will drop from $149.99 to $129.99.

Many were expecting that Sony would drop the price to $99, but the smart money is on the outfit doing that around the time it releases the PS3.

Some are wondering if Microsoft will follow up with a price cut to its XBox which is currently in the shops at $149. However, Microsoft has indicated that it is quite happy with that price and seems content to let current supplies of the beast fade away as the Xbox 360 steals its thunder.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
