Whilst the rest of the world are rocking away on their Xbox 360’s us poor souls now have to wait until the 13th of April which is 3 weeks away… South Africans are not getting much loving at the moment… Since this is the …

Xbox 360 Elite – Manufactured

By Gavin Mannion
March 27, 2007 - 19 years ago

I am not sure why Microsoft are still not confirming this Xbox 360 Elite? Now we have some manufacturing pictures released onto the internet. The photo is date stamped 14th of February so unless the time on the camera was set wrong these things have been manufactured for over a month now so they will have a decent stockpile when …

March 27, 2007 - 19 years ago

The PS3’s sales figures for PAL territories are slowly starting to come in and Sony are smiling all the way to the bank. The UK Launch managed to move 165,000 units which beat the Wii launch by 60 000 and the Xbox 360 launch by a whopping 95 000. Not to forget that the Wii and Xbox 360 where launched …

Custom Halo 3 Themed Xbox 360 – eBay

March 26, 2007 - 19 years ago

Wow, that is pretty much all I can say when I look at how fantastically Master Chief has been painted onto an Xbox 360. Jeremiah Thiring has airbrushed the entire console, no stickers or wraps, to the theme of halo 3. Hey has even given the two wireless controllers the Halo touch and all in all I think this is …

PS3 PAL Launch Wrap Up

By Gavin Mannion
March 26, 2007 - 19 years ago

So the PS3 was finally released to the PAL territories last week Thursday. So what are the websites saying about the PAL Launch then? The most suprising thing for me was the fact that some Italian stores started selling the PS3 before Friday the 23rd against orders from Sony. I am sure Sony has not taken kindly to that but …

Virtua Tennis 3 – PS3/Xbox Comparison

By Gavin Mannion
March 26, 2007 - 19 years ago

So those clever people over at GameTrailers.com have put together another comparison video for the console wars. This time is is Virtua Tennis 3. What is interesting about this one is that both versions of the game where made by completely different studios, so the fact that they end up virtually identical is amazing. I cannot tell the difference between …

March 26, 2007 - 19 years ago

The ASA has declared that a PS3 advertisement that was being displayed on the CNA website is in fact false advertising. The complaint was lodged by 4 hardcore Xbox 360 gamers (S McDonald, Craig Nicholson, Gareth Seiler and L Goller) against CNA and SK Games.

PS3 vs Xbox 360 (Developer Perspective)

By Gavin Mannion
March 26, 2007 - 19 years ago

 I was given a link this morning to an article that was written in December last year by a games developer who has worked on both platforms. Given that games will win this console war I think the developers perspective is very important. He does remain anonymous so we cannot say for sure that he is a developer but the …

So as you are all aware the PS3 finally hit our shores last night… I managed to shake off some flu and get out to take some pictures… All in all it was a very low key affair with very little happening at either of the shops I went to. According to the forums there was a big launch party …

Breaking down the Euro PS3's backward compatiblity

By Gavin Mannion
March 22, 2007 - 19 years ago

Those clever people over at Joystiq have been nice enough to search through the PS3 BC website to see how many titles are compatible. http://faq.eu.playstation.com/bc/ What I did find a bit wrong is that on the official Sony BC site if a game doesn’t work they just don’t list it, which makes it difficult to see how many are not supported …

Sony PlayStation3 ads – Why? / What?

By Gavin Mannion
March 22, 2007 - 19 years ago

 Okay I recently blogged about the new PS3 ad that is being flighted and how bad I found them to be.. I was then told that maybe I should do some more investigating before just passing them off as bad advertising…. So I did :), the advertising firm running these new PS3 ads is TBWA, who happen to be the …
