Natal Processor Chip Downgrade?

There has been rumors that Microsoft's motion tracking camera "Project Natal" has had one of it's processor chips ditched in order to cut costs. The rumor would back-up previous speculation that Microsoft are aiming for a sub-£50 price mark. Instead it has been said there will be software that uses some of the Xbox 360's processing power and give it to Natal, I'm not quite sure on how that would work. Microsoft has refused to comment on the rumors.

Gears of War Added To Games on Demand 

The brilliant Gears of War (I wish I could say that about the seconnd game) gas been released to Xbox Live's "Games on Demand" service. This is great for people who have not yet played Gears of War, you don't have to leave your house and go and buy it. Here are the details:

Price: Varies by region
Availability: Not available in Japan

A Nightmare from Below. A Hero from Within. The planet lies in ruin - cities crumbling, Man's greatest works fallen. Humanity is cornered, nowhere to run. The Locust Horde has risen, and they won't stop coming. They won't stop killing. The Coalition is desperate for soldiers. The sick, the wounded, the imprisoned are all that remain. An inmate named Marcus Fenix, once left to die, is now charged with keeping humanity alive. He can take comfort in but one fact: The human race isn't extinct. Yet.

I would highly reccommend buying this game if you haven't already, it is superb. But, don't bother with the second.

Pandemic Takes Revenge... On EA Printer

                                                      

Last week EA closed Mercenaries and the Saboteur's developer, Pandemic studio. Now, a few ex-employees have apparently taken their revenge on an EA printer. Apparently, the poor, innocent piece of electronics in the video above was used throughout The Saboteur's long development stretch.

If that's all EA's lost in its mass-firing of Pandemic employees, it should probably consider itself lucky. Oh, how I love Office Space parody's.

Modern Warfare 2 Has Broken UK Sales Records

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has obliterated UK day-one sales record, previously held by Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV. War-hungry Brits snapped up a colossal 1.23 Million copies of the game, almost double that of GTA IV, which previously held the record at 613,000 sales.

I can't say I am surprised, considering the huge buzz around the title. Activision made plenty of noise in London last night at the launch party. Some stores opened at midnight with hundreds queuing up to get the game. Did you get yourself a copy?

You can get Modern Warfare 2 For £9.99

It's hard to believe isn't it? Well, it is true HMV are offering Modern Warfare 2 for just £9.99; but there is a catch. In order to get this offer you must trade one of these 3 games Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Forza 3 or Tekken 6. However, if you don't want to trade-in anything Sainsbury's (a supermarket for those that don't know) are offering it for £26 on all platforms. You can't grumble about that.
