Want to make a few (hundred dollars) with World of Warcraft (and legally too)? Well, if you have a Collector’s Edition pre-ordered, and don’t mind selling it on eBay, then you got yourself covered for a few months of subscription fees as well as picking up a copy of the regular edition. Don’t belive me? Look [url=http://search.ebay.com/burning-crusade-collectors-edition_W0QQfromZR40QQfrtsZ0QQsatitleZburningQ20crusadeQ20collectorQ27sQ20edition]here[/url].

Heralded as the best Castlevania game, Symphony of the Night is coming to the Xbox Live Arcade. It is uncertain what changes have been made to the PS1 original, as well as the price. One thing is certain, SotN is going to be the first game to break the “only 50 MB Arcade games” rules.
Knights of the Nine, the expansion for Oblivion, was only recently released, but Bethesda is already working on a new expansion. Shivering Isles, as it is called, is supposed to take about 30 hours and feature the usual updates (new characters, quests, areas to discover, etc).
You guys know what’s funny? This is an expansion, and supposedly, it will take longer to beat than most, full price games nowadays.
Though the official release is saying that the reason founders Chris and Tim Stamper left Rare was to try new things, the truth behind their departure may be that their latest game(s) (such as Viva Pinata) sold extremely poorly. Since Microsoft bought Rare for $375 Million, five games have been put out: Perfect Dark Zero (X360), Viva Pinata (X360), Kameo (X360), Conker (Xbox), and Grabbed by the Ghoulies (Xbox). Many of these games are merely shadows of what Rare’s games used to be like, and many of them were commercial and/or critical failures. Microsoft is promoting from withing for these now vacant positions as Mark Betteridge and Gregg Mayles will replace Chris and Tim Stamper.
EA investigates porn scandal

With over five million copies of Madden NFL 07 sold, nothing like this happened before. 14 year old Kolton Mahoney received the Xbox version of this year’s Madden roster update from his uncle that he purchased in a Circuit City in California, for Christmas. To the surprise of the whole family, the box contained a hardcore porno DVD instead of the popular game. EA, the distributor, the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force as well as local authorities are investigating this. The family, however, will not press charges (which is rather surprising).
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m sure there are plenty of people out there that would be glad to receive some hardcore S/M porno instead of Madden.
[i]Editor’s Note: While I was at Best Buy last week a family was exchanging a non-working 360 and a copy of Tony Hawk’s Project 8 because there was no disc inside. Seems that some people are having manufacturing problems.[/i]
