By Gavin Mannion

You have all heard about it by now and the evidence for the $50 price drop is mounting…  The two images above are from Walmart and Toys R Us… GameStop branches have also been told to now offer less for Xbox 360 trade ins which could be construed to mean they know a price drop is coming.

By Gavin Mannion
July 30, 2007 - 18 years ago

I read quite a disturbing article this morning about an academic names Antonio Spadaro who is urging his fellow Catholics to join the MMORPG Second Life and look for converts.

PS3 Fanboys are the worst

By Gavin Mannion
July 29, 2007 - 18 years ago

There is nothing more annoying in the gaming world than rabid fanboys. I am not talking about the people who prefer one system over the other.

Now that is a headline I never expected to see. But could it be true. People have been expecting some sort of movie playback ability to be added to the Wii but absolutely no one would have guessed that instead of having a DVD playback facility it would be Blu-Ray.
