By Gavin Mannion
February 4, 2008 - 18 years ago

In the US recently it has become increasingly difficult to get your hands on a Xbox 360 Elite. The rumours have already started about Microsoft readying to announce a new SKU and at the moment are happy to just let the retailers sell out the Elite’s without restocking them. Well Microsoft has come out and stated that this isn’t the …

By Gavin Mannion
February 4, 2008 - 18 years ago

Apparently a Xbox magazine called XboxWorld has published a story leaking the fact that 4 new exclusive games are going to be announced at GDC this year. These games would be Dead or Alive 5, Gears of War 2, Forza 3 and Halo Chronicles. After reading some of the blurb it does look more like a wish list to me …

The latest surfer girl rumours

By Gavin Mannion
February 3, 2008 - 18 years ago

Surfer girl is at it again and this week is pretty much infested with Guitar Hero news only. Nothing interesting apart from the fact that a Guitar Hero IV is coming… who would have guessed. Then Sony is apparently starting its PS3 classic range this year with Resistance, Motorstorm and Warhawk. Again this is quite obvious. One rumour which may …

February 2, 2008 - 18 years ago

  File this in the rumour section (see the new tag), but apparently T3 magazine was wandering around the CES show and managed to have a chat with an industry insider. Apparently Sony is planning on releasing a new slimline version of the PS3 later this year, it’s not like they don’t have a history of doing this but to …

SA Premier League Update

By Gavin Mannion
February 1, 2008 - 18 years ago

The South African EA Premier League is in full flight and the action is fierce. I played my first two games last night and lost miserably in both of them, you could say that FIFA is not my strongest game. However at the top of the table (bar first place) the competition is strong and the league may very well …

I forgot about Home

By Gavin Mannion
February 1, 2008 - 18 years ago

Yes I know it’s very bad of me but I have to admit that I had actually forgotten about the PS3 Home service as nothing had been announced for a while. Well fear not the service is still coming, and soon as well. It is expected to be released in Autumn 2008 and the beta testing has been going strong …

PS3 outsells the 360 by 1.5 million in 2007

By Gavin Mannion
February 1, 2008 - 18 years ago

This still has to be filed as a rumour since if it is true it’s being kept very quite by the larger media shops. According to the latest figures from Sony they have sold 8.83 million PS3’s in 2007, while if we dig into the 360 figures it seems like they have sold 7.3 million units. Which even by my …

Sony cuts sales targets of the PS3

By Gavin Mannion
February 1, 2008 - 18 years ago

When Sony first stated that they would sell 11 million PS3’s by March 2008 everyone said they were out of their mind. They continued insisting that they would make this target though and it seems that eventually the facts have sunk in. They are not going to make it. They have now revised their sales forecast down to 9.5 million …

I blame Eskom… my normal routine on a Thursday is to get up, check www.escapistmagazine.com for the latest Zero Punctuation and then take the rubbish out. Today I woke up late, stumbled through the house, broke down my electric gate to get the rubbish out and then sat in the dark all morning. Well that is my excuse for not …
