First, there was the leaked K-Mart circular revealing a sweet $50 price cut to the Xbox 360 Premium. Since then, the possibility has gotten firmer. Notably the Hollywood Reporter says that a “major retailer” and industry sources have informed them the cut will happen before E3 (though they call it the Pro). And usually reliable Ars Technica says the 20GB model is getting cheaped out to be replaced by that rumored 60GB model.

It all makes sense to us. Dropping prices will move the older units, while a 60GB model will better compete with the PS3 on specs, filling and rounding out that gap between the 20GB Premium and 120GB Elite. [Hollywood Reporter, Ars, Kotaku]

If you are not sure what the Mylo personal communicator is, be sure to check out Peter Ha’s review of the device. If you don’t feel like reading, it’s basically a PSP that can’t play games and has a slid out keyboard.

We’ve already seen two videos of Sony’s latest 2.4 firmware for the PS3 (that hits July 2nd, incidentally), but sometimes the story is easily told in good old fashioned photography. So here are some direct feed shots of the new firmware, including plenty of material on the new accomplishments trophies. There’s nothing jaw-dropping going on here, but the integration looks easy and clean. And that’s certainly worth something. [GameLife and PS3Fanboy via Kotaku]

FlyTunes continues to expand its entertainment offerings, having announced a deal this day with terrestrial radio corp Entercom, one of the biggest “regular” (as opposed to satellite) radio corp in the U.S. Users of the free service will be able to listen to content from all Entercom-owned radio stations, though initially limited to Seattle and San Francisco stations.

FlyTunes lets iPhone users listen to a variety of audio entertainment. It uses the phone’s EDGE and Wi-Fi connections to tap into the service; presumably once the iPhone 3G rolls out it’ll make use of that, too. Mind the battery, though.

And for some random radio trivia, Entercom owns WAAF, where radio duo Opie & Anthony claimed Boston mayor Thomas Menino died in an April Fools prank in 1998. The good mayor still holds a grudge, apparently.

All in all, an important update for the FlyTunes crew. Now let’s see it expand to some of the other radio networks, like CBS Radio and ABC Radio.
