The US software giant will cut the price of the Xbox 360 Arcade model to 19,800 yen (182 dollars) from 27,800 yen, undercutting Nintendo's Wii which has a price tag of 25,000 yen, the Nikkei business daily reported. The Xbox 360, however, outsold Sony's PlayStation 3 in Japan for the first time in the week ended August 10, helped by the popularity of the new role-playing game "Tales of Vesperia,"

But with room on the 10 remaining shuttle missions to the space station in short supply, many fear that it will remain forever warehoused on Earth, becoming the most sophisticated and costly white elephant of the space era.As a result, the imminent launch of the billion Columbus laboratory -- the kind of scientific workspace that the station's backers always said would be its reason for being -- will take place under something of a cloud.We are very excited about the launch of Columbus and believe this will be a major step forward for the international space station, said Martin Zell, who is involved with the European space laboratory as head of research operations for the European Space Agency and is also a coordinator for development of the cosmic ray project.But if the [other device] does not make it to the station, it will be a very great setback for the space community and the ISS, Zell said. But the fate of the instrument also has significant implications for international cooperation in space.The credibility of the United States is at stake here, because NASA made a commitment to bring Columbus and AMS to the space station, said Samuel C.C. But that said, it would be a true international disgrace if this instrument ends up as a museum piece that never is used.The space station was built with four attachment sites that can mount experiments that need direct exposure to space -- and one was designated for the AMS. Ting said the nations that collaborated on the project did so only because NASA promised delivery.But that was before technical and funding problems slowed assembly of the space station, and before the loss of the Columbia shuttle and its crew on Feb. 1, 2003, halted all shuttle missions for 2 1/2 years. Zell, at the European Space Agency, said scientists once thought they could perfect and mass-produce metals in space, but that is no longer considered feasible. But scientific experimentation has been limited, in part because the small crew spends most of its time keeping systems running properly, and because the U.S. science mission on the station formally changed in 2005 after Bush announced his exploration initiative.American science on the orbiting facility is now dominated by research into how months or years in space will affect the human body and what can be done to limit the health effects.One study of salmonella bacteria in space was recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and drew significant attention.
