Following a recent American price-drop, Microsoft have confirmed that they will now also be dropping the price of all three packages round these parts.

The Core unit will go down to £179.99, the Premium will drop to £249.99, and the Elite will become £299.99.

Microsoft also took the time out to announce that a new, standalone 120GB hard-drive (just in case you don’t want to buy an Elite) will set you back £129.99. In which case it’s probably worth buying an Elite after all.

The Brawl website gave its readers a further insight into its Adventure Mode today by detailing The Subspace Emissary.

"The Subspace Emissary storyline introduces a force of formless enemies called the Subspace Army. They are ruled by their commander, the Ancient Minister.

"The enemy’s primary offensive strength is in creatures called the Primid. They come in many variations. Their objective is to cut apart the world and carry it into Subspace. They use what are called Subspace Bombs to do so. When a Subspace Bomb explodes, a section of the world gets excised and swallowed by Subspace.

"This is a new, never-before-seen form of aggression... but now is no time to stop and stare. Everyone, everywhere, is beginning to move against it."

Another update that shouldn't be passed by is the replacement for trophies - stickers. "Yes, the ones you slap on your notebook or skateboard or whatever. Stickers." explains game creator Masahiro Sakurai. They'll apparently be easier to collect than trophies were, and you'll be able to create your own pages with stickers you've collected on.

You can easily see Sora Ltd absolutely mining the back catalogue of Nintendo with this sticker album idea. If they don't, I will eat my hat.
