I could see a $50 price drop on the Core system, with premium staying the same. Then again, if Sony launches at $399 with everything, I could see a $50 price drop on both SKUs ($250 and $350)

And so it begins. Looks like nexus was right as always. Wich also means MS did get publishing rights to Alan Wake.

I can't wait to see more of Alan Wake. The game looks amazing :)

can someone summarize what was said and hinted at please?

Basically everything you'd expect from MS (Forza 2, Fable 2, Halo 3, etc.) with the inclusion of MS snapping up Alan Wake exclusively with Shadowrun being developed for both 360 and Window.

Not ordering every single PS3 and Wii game this year? tsc tsc

Due to controller differences, I'll more than likely get multiplayer games for 360. However, if games like Unreal Tourney 2007 and Assassin's Creed come out before 360 version, I'll be fine, since I already have them squared away. That is what I mean.

Have you seen citizen kane?
Click to expand...

negative, sir. I've been here since late 2000 and rosebudded seemed to start popping up a couple of years ago. I get that it's bad by context, but I've never caught the exact meaning. Is it used as a word in the movie?

edit: also clearly I don't bother visiting OA or i suppose I'd know

When in doubt,search urbandictionary.com :D

1. rosebud

The appearance of one's rectum after fisting. The internal tissue pulls out beyond the sphincter muscle. The bright red to pinkish tissue looks like a rosebud.

That dude takes alot of fists up his ass- check out that rosebud.

Wow! I figured it had something to do with taking a girls virginity.

Sorry I asked, that was a horrific answer.

In the film it's Kane's childhood sled. reirom proves himself as some sort of idiot savant in drawing the connection.

No price drop until PS3 pricing announced. No Halo 3 bundle pack, but expect Holiday bundle.

It would kill the Xbox 360, but I always thought it would be hilarious if MS walked up to the stage and said "Xbox 360 plays all Vista-compatible PC games. Bye."

There is a place reserved on the xbox site for the game BC. When you type the address www.xbox.com/bc the address changes in http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/b/bc/. The "games" part of the address only appears if there is a space reserved for a game. For example, if I type www.xbox.com/ninjagaiden2 then the address changes in http://www.xbox.com/en-US/ninjagaiden2 (without "games").

This was also posted on a certain xbox forum. I think that thread was later removed for some reason. It also works for Shadowrun (edit: it doesn't work anymore for this title.)

But my question is, why is BC never mentioned in the rumored games lists ?

That'd be a nice surprise as the game was seemingly canned.

A little over 40 minutes until Xbox Live becomes free for the week and updates.
Click to expand...

Is it not 12:01am PT?

EDIT: Looks like it is. From Major Nelson:
Then I took a closer look and realize that a lot of them are about Xbox Live Marketplace content. The team that works on marketplace content has been in all weekend getting ready for next week. I have to tell you there is a TON of stuff that will start popping up on Marketplace starting Monday morning (PT). I see demos, trailers, themes, gamer pictures and more getting ready for the march to Marketplace.
I’ll post details once the content goes live. That’s all I can say for right now.
