So some sales i heard about and have been confirmed already, Call of Duty:World at War will be on sale for 34.99 at best buy and the 120gb xbox 360 hdd i selling at circuit city for 79.96 but around 90% of the time its not properly marked on the shelf at that price so your best bet is to call and find out. Another trick would be to ask them to run the upc, and even if they don’t have any in stock, go to the store and request that they print out a price sheet, that way you can get to a place that would have some in stock (Wal-mart perhaps) and get them to price match it. Also they have updated the Street Fighter IV collectors edition and changed some things in it. The box art is different, there is no more Ryu figure for both versions like it was original, 360 gets c.viper and ps3 gets ryu as of right now, among some of the changes. Full list of changes and source for Street Fighter via [joystiq] And just for the laughs, my favorite moment in fighting game history to date
Now that i got that out of the way, on to more gaming news as of lately, Gears of War 1 to be re-released on June 23rd and it comes with all previous DLC and a cheaper price.Touhou 11 demo was released and ill post a video of that, the difficulty of it is insane compared to Touhou 10. The Killer Instinct 3 Rumor that has shown it’s head has been officially shot down, its not in production : ( . New homebrew software for the Wii, even though it still involves using the twilight hack, but you only have to do it once to install it. After that its such things as WiiLinux, Roms, and Region free. A new type of stealth chip will supposedly put an end to Pirate gaming according to Bushnell, the man who founded Atari. “What that says is that in the games business we will be able to encrypt with an absolutely verifiable private key in the encryption world – which is uncrackable by people on the internet and by giving away passwords – which will allow for a huge market to develop in some of the areas where piracy has been a real problem.” We’ll just have to see how well that goes. Gamestop has slapped a pricing on Guitar Hero:World tour; listing it at $189 for the bundle on the 360,ps3,and wii while the ps2 version will be $179. As for the game only, it will be $49 on the wii and ps2, and $59 for 360 and ps3. Yes there will still be guitar bundles, listed at $99. So pick your poison, its still expensive either way.Street Fighter 4 in Q4 2008, and with the possibility of a PC release to boot. They must be thinking of it because of the recent success they’ve had with PC releases (DMC4 anyone?).Will GRiD be a huge release? Even though its boasting a 1million + download for the demo will it show the same numbers come release? Also keep an eye out for games leaving XBLA. For the potential listing of games that have a good chance of removal please visit the list here. I’ll have to touch on DS (pardon the pun) and it’s massive home brew following next time. Now Enjoy these videos, the Touhou 11 Demo ( which is friggin sweet btw) and a complilation of Killer instinct moves.
