Thanks Scooby, but what's up with that translation LOL
Halation 3

 

[Carl B]

Good finds.

A black 360, Halo 3 1080p with large multiplayer support, XBLA on Zune, HD-DVD@$200, and a new Killer Instinct(!!) are definitely the take-aways there.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

150 Euros for HDDVD is a very good price. Someone somewhere must be losing money on that. Or have captured a load of Blue Diode pixies and are working them in slave labour camps.

Thanks Scooby, but what's up with that translation LOL
Halation 3

Lol, ya I took the courtesy of editing that back to Halo.

Some cool news though, kinda. $200 HD-DVD nice, KI ok but I wanted Battletoads, new Fable 2 and Halo trailers SWEET, And the demo's are great if true, Forza, Mass Effect, Crackdown...not bad!

 

[RobertR1]

Good info! Thanks Scooby. The $199 price point of the HD DVD add on should be interesting.

Ofcourse looking forward to new games. Thanks again

 

[DuckThor Evil]

150 Euros for HDDVD is a very good price.

That just might have quaranteed us shaft loving europeans a PS3 price cut too, atleast I hope so
Very interesting news altogether. Halo 3 being 1080p that's huge news right there...
Man it's going to busy time at the marketplace soon with all those trailers, and maybe some demos?

 

[RobertR1]

I have to say, that MS is certainly doing all they can for the 360 which inturn just means more for us as consumers. Good on them!

 

[El Leone]

I reckon its fake.... But less than a day till we find out

 

[PG2G]

I find it hard to believe that someone would give them permission to waste their time on a game like Killer Instinct.

 

[expletive]

If that's all it is, I would call it a letdown from "BIG" announcements. With the exception of KI, practically everything listed was just 'more info' on things we already knew.

As for KI, i'd rather Rare be working on a Banjo game but I dont think KI as we know it today will be anything near what shows up on the 360 so i'm willing to give it a chance.

jeux france says that motoGP'07 will be there

True, and KI is not exactly unprecedented.

*clicks*
*blows up*

What's with the overzealous JPEG compression? It makes the shot quite difficult to analyze.

 

[Carl B]

LOL, wow - here is a lot of irony.

Me, the ostensible Playstation fan, truly excited about the possibility of a Killer Instinct revival, and you guys the ostensible 360 fans basically disappointed it's not something else.

I frankly think it's awesome news.
