Modern Warfare 2 for Xbox 360 to be released soon

For those of you are on the lookout for new xbox games, now know that Modern Warfare 2 will be released in the UK on November 10th. This is one of the most awaited tittle of the year and if you want to get a good deal for it without having to rip your pockets open, so pre-order online through savebuckets.co.uk. The good news is that now you can even play this game on your laptop as well as high definition TV as is available to play on any version of Xbox 360 and PS3 and PC

I think the best gaming platform will be on the a 29" Tv, and as my son is a fan of games and loves to play these xbox 360 games and consoles at the parlor(we don't encourage at home due to addiction), am thinking to consider buying the game for our home and gift him what he thinks is a dream. I feel our whole family can enjoy a homely gaming experience :-)

Please read below to gain info on a PS3:
When a PS3 is connected to a HD television both graphics and sound are fantastically crisp and clear.

The Playstation 3 comes in three versions, with either 30GB, 60GB and 80GB hard drives all able to play the latest action games - Modern Warfare 2 - with dazzling graphics and awesome sounds.

There is little difference between the three versions of the PS3, with all three being able to store video, photos, music and game information files with ease and speed. The PS3 also features a wireless Internet connection for connecting to the Sony Store, multi-player gaming and new software updates.

Microsoft Cuts Xbox 360 Elite Price $100

In a move made almost mandatory by the recent announcement of the PS3 Slim and a $100 price cut by Sony, Microsoft announced Thursday that the price of the Xbox 360 Elite, the high-end model with a 120GB hard drive, will be dropped by $100 to $299.

In addition, the current $299 60GB model will be reduced to $249. Microsoft's press release, however, notes "while supplies last." Based on that, it sounds as though eventually, the only two Xbox 360 models at retail will be the 120GB version and the $199 Arcade model, which comes without a hard drive.

This price drop, along with the new PS3 price, will place pressure on Nintendo to drop the price of its aging Nintendo Wii console. While the Wii's definitely redefined gaming with its innovative controls, Microsoft is quick to point out that the Xbox 360 you buy this year will be compatible with the controller-less "Project Natal."

Nintendo's Wii has never been a technological powerhouse, and with these other consoles dropping close to its MSRP of $249, there are going to be some market share changes, most likely. Of course, as I said, the innovative Wiimote has made video gaming fun again, but Project Natal will eliminate that advantage.

Naturally, Microsoft didn't indicate the price cut was anything but a cut for the upcoming holiday season, not mentioning the PS3's price cut.! Shane Kim, corporate vice-president of strategy and business development for the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft said:

"With the holiday season right around the corner, it's already time to start looking for entertainment and gifts that everyone will enjoy. If you're looking for deep experiences that don't require deep pockets, now is the time to purchase an Xbox 360. We've got the best games, a vast library of TV shows and movies, new music experiences, more ways to connect friends and family, and so much more on the horizon including 'Project Natal' - no controller required."

PS3 Slim Announced

Kaz Hirai has just announced the PS3 Slim at GamesCom 09 in Cologne, Germany. The new model will be $299, starting the first week of September of this year.

PS3 Slim Coming Soon?!

More and more evidence is pointing to the imminent release of the PS3 slim, a Playstation 3 that is smaller, lighter, and very cool looking. When will it be unveiled. The recent events that have come to light suggest sooner than first thought.

In the past weeks we have seen a few hints showing up online:

1. Amazon Germany posted a PS3 "Konsole Slim"
Engadget

2. The 80GB PS3 has been discontinued in Japan
Kotaku

3. The component cost for a PS3 is down 70 percent from when they began, making construction cost roughly $240 (instead of $800)

4. The approaching August 18th Sony Pre-Press Conference
Engadget


5. Orders on PS3 components up significantly recently (enough to construct 1 million PS3's in 3 months)
Digitimes

6. Spy Shots appearing online here and there

I sure hope it comes out soon! I would get one but it would mean I'd lose my hardware emulation of PS2 games that my old 60GB release PS3 has.

BioShock 2 Delayed To FY 2010

Your return to Rapture will be a bit delayed, as publisher Take-Two Interactive announced today that BioShock 2 won't be releasing in the company's fourth quarter as previously planned. Now for the bad news.

While the game was previously slated to hit European store shelves on October 30, 2009, just squeezing into the company's fiscal 2009, the company has now moved the title to a more vague "fiscal year ! 2010." T he sequel was expected to arrive on these shores November 3rd, a few days after its ship date in Europe.

Now, BioShock 2 could very well be pushed into calendar 2010, missing the holidays completely.

Officially, Take-Two blames the delay on the need to "provide additional development time for the title."

Strauss Zelnick, Chairman of Take-Two called the delay "the right decision for the product," but calls the impact on its revised financial outlook a "disappointment."

"The decision to shift a release date is never an easy one, especially with a product as highly anticipated as BioShock 2," Take-Two CEO Ben Fed! er said in a financial release. "We felt that it was essential to invest the additional time to ensure that this title will deliver what its fans expect and deserve."

Take-Two announced delays of Red Dead Redemption and Mafia II in May, both of which are expected to ship in the publisher's fiscal 2010.
