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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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. The base of the complaint was on the following two lines The PS3 is built on …

 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 …

Whilst SK are refusing to hand out information on how many PS3’s are going to hit the SA market, Shannon from BT Games has given some insider information to IT Web. She states that only 5000 units have been brought into SA for the release and off that BT Games has been allocated 322 (400 previously) units. Look & Listen …

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 …

 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 …

So only 5 days after reporting poor pre-orders for the PS3 GAME has come out and called the demand “phenomenal”… “With a huge range of titles available for launch and having so much more functionality than any other games console, our customers can’t wait to get their hands on this incredible machine.” Sorry but that doesn’t cut it, hyping up the …
