We received the final boxed version of God of War: Chains of Olympus for PSP this morning. And on the back of the manual? A teaser image for God of War III for the PlayStation 3.

The tease is almost exactly the same as the one featured on the back of the manual for God of War II, which originally confirmed that a God of War game was in the works for the PSP. The only difference this time is there’s no hint at a release date — only the words “Coming Soon” with a PS3 logo, as opposed to the slightly more specific (and eventually incorrect) “Coming 2007″ featured on the God of War II manual.

Of course, we already knew God of War III was in the works for the PlayStation 3. Hopefully with this far more overt tease, though, it means more details on the game will soon follow as well.

Microsoft confirms rumours that the Xbox 360 will be getting a price cut; Arcade version now the cheapest console in the region.

Let the price wars commence–Microsoft has thrown down the gauntlet and cut the price of all Xbox 360 SKUs in Europe.

The Arcade pack will have a recommended retail price of £159.99 (down from £199.99), the Premium pack will be £199.99 (down from £259.99), and the Elite pack will be £259.99 (down from £299.99).

The price drops are effective from this Friday, March 14, and notably the new recommended retail price for the Arcade version brings it in cheaper than the Wii–which at £179.99 has been the most budget-conscious next-generation console option since its launch in December 2006.

Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business Europe’s VP, Chris Lewis, commented, “History shows that £159.99 is the price point where a console’s audience begins to expand, and with these new ERPs in place we’re ready to bring more consumers into the Xbox 360 world.”

The company also claimed that the 360 is now the number one next-gen console in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, where it holds 42 percent of the market “in terms of life-to-date revenue.” Microsoft also boasted of the high attach rate for the 360, with seven games sold per console, compared to 3.5 for the Wii and 3.8 for the PlayStation 3.
