Halo 3 Limited Edition case scratches discs

The problem reportedly lies with the fact that there is a poorly made plastic nub and foam disc pad holding mechanism which results in the disc's becoming loose easily.

ps3 & wii sales drop significantly as xbox 360 hardware explode

The new charts have been updated on VGChartz for the week of September 9 - September 15. Hardware sales are showing some very interesting things as Wii hardware figures drop 20% to well over 90k and Playstation 3 even drops an amazing 40% to just over 30k. This compared to Xbox 360 figures which increase by almost 20% selling nearly 90k, almost as much as the Wii.

Heavenly Sword did not impress in first week sales, with not even 80k copies. Bioshock and Metroid Prime still doing amazing with another 90k and 70k this week respectively. EA's SKATE debuted this week with just over 50k as the NHL 08 and NHL 2K8 games fail to impress.

CliffyB: Bioshock is Hands Down My Game of the Year

The latest entry on CliffyB.com reveals Cliff Bleszinki's thoughts on BioShock, which has been chosen as the Game of the Year by the lead designer of Gears of War:

Bioshock is hands down my game of the year. That's right, I said it. I was looking forward to coming home from work and firing this bad boy up throughout the entire experience. Last time that happened was RE4 and God of War(s.) I'm not just saying this because it uses our technology or because I'm friends with some of the team members, no, it is in fact a phenomenal blend of well paced horror, narrative, action and meta RPG moments.

Will Cliff change his mind after other serious candidates for the Game of the Year award arrive later this year?

Halo midnight launch cancelled!

CVG has learnt that all plans for a Halo 3 midnight launch have been pulled as Westminster council feared that too many fans would turn up, causing chaos in the streets of London in the early hours of September 26.

Halo 3 will launch on September 26 and it's quite likely that it'll bigger than the PS3 launch back in March. At least the council thinks so, as that went ahead fine. When contacted HMV knew nothing of a midnight launch for Halo 3.

A GAME employee did though: "It's opening hours as usual," we were told. "The council won't allow a midnight launch."

xbox 360 software sales are more than wii & ps3 combined

The main highlights were outlined by Microsoft as follows:



Xbox 360 unit sales are up 63 percent, versus an 18 percent decline for PS3 and 5 percent decline for Wii month over month


Xbox 360 outsells PS3 more than 2:1


Xbox 360 software sales are more than PS3 and Wii software sales combined


Madden NFL '08 on Xbox 360 outsold all other versions of the title, including the PS2 by more than 250,000 units, and PS3 by more than 560,000


Xbox 360 held the top two titles across all next generation consoles with Madden NFL '08 (EA) at #1 and BioShock (2K Games) at #2


Halo 3 preorders continue on a trajectory to eclipse Halo 2 preorders


Microsoft also said that since last November when the Wii and PS3 launched, gamers have spent more dollars on Xbox 360 software ($24.3 million) than on software for PS3 and Wii combined ($19.8 million).


In addition, the company proudly stated that it maintained the Xbox 360's launch price point "for longer than any other console in videogame history holding the record at 21 months." The previous record was held by PS2 at 19 months

Xbox 360 Outsells PS3 2:1
by Matt Gibbs

The August NPD results are in and what can we say... although the Nintendo Wii took out the top spot (go the Wii360 alliance), The Xbox 360 outsold the Playstation 3 by 2:1.

Microsoft in fact sold a massive 63% more Xbox 360's in August than the did the previous month, and this is in stark contrast to the 18% decline for the PS3 and the 5% decline for the Nintendo Wii. Not only that, more Xbox 360 games were sold than both the PS3 and Wii sales combined! It seems clear that the Xbox 360 price cut, along with the impending release of Halo 3, are doing wonders for the popularity of the console.

Breaking down the game sales even more, Madden NFL 08 took out the top spot (with coincidentally more Xbox 360 versions of the game being sold than any other platform), and Bioshock came in third (behind Madden NFL 08 on the Playstation 2).

Overall, aside from the Wii selling just over 400,000 consoles as opposed to the 276,000 Xbox 360 console sold, August was a pretty good month - and it's only going to get better!
