• Rumor: CoD 6 - To Infinity & Beyond?

  I was very impressed with what Infinity Ward did with CoD 4, so this news is very intriguing to me. I'm trying to imagine some of the sci-fi themed perks they could put in the game. Anyway, check it out: Rumor: Infinity Ward giving Call of Duty 6 a sci-fi setting 104 Comments by Griffin McElroy Jun 21st 2008 11:30AM Filed under: First Person Shooters...

• [Rumors]: Avatars for Xbox Live, GH World Tour, Lips, and More

  Quite a title, huh... If the avatar thing is true, I don't really get the whole Holiday vs Spring for existing vs new customers - doesn't make sense given Live's infrastructure. As pointed out by Xbox 360 Fanboy , a market research website appears to have leaked the details of a new Mii-like system from Microsoft called Avatars. The idea...

• [Rumor]: MSFT Prepping New Chips

  Once again, rumor surfaces of a new chip. What's new (and interesting) is the integrated processor and graphics. Microsoft Corp. reportedly plans to release a new version its Xbox 360 video game system code-named Jasper in August and has already assigned IBM and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. to make chips for the new game console. However... Posted May 07 2008, 10:27 PM by cosmo with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: Xbox 360, Rumor

  Looks like there's another rumor rolling around the interwebs about Blu-Ray coming to the 360.

• [Huge Rumor]: MSFT Developing Wii Type Controller

  Too big of a rumor to pass up posting. If I was a betting man, I would bet that MSFT was working on a motion type controller for a while (it has been rumored before). But this is the most information we've seen come out proposed by a source. I love the Wii, so even a copy would be pretty cool. If everything goes according to plan, Microsoft's...

A webshots user named pallamallawa has uploaded six images of what look to be the map insert for the PlayStation 3 version of Grand Theft Auto IV...

  Personally, I don't see why they would need to add a third hard drive size, but far stranger things have happened.

  I think I'm ok with this Now this we don't like the sound of.

Nor will will likely happen by the same developer, err, if it ever happens. Clear? EGM ( via 1up ) writes: "A...

• [Rumor]: 360 Failure Rate at 16%

  I'm not sure what to believe anymore and to be honest, as long as my 1x repaired box keeps on working, I don't care either. MSFT really screwed the pooch by releasing a product with known defects and the very least that they could do was to extend the warranty and repair/replace broken boxes. It doesn't matter if it's 1% or 100% if you... Posted Feb 14 2008, 08:08 AM by cosmo with | with 4 comment(s) Filed under: Xbox 360, Wii, Playstation 3, Rumor, Red Ring of Death

• [Rumor]: Netflix Survey Asks if You Would Watch Movies/Show on Your Xbox 360 or PS3 - UPDATED

  Don't believe the hype. I call BS on this because it breaks Netflix's business model, especially after the throttling accusations for heavy users of the service. You could watch unlimited movies per month for only $17.99?? Doesn't make economical sense for them. At least the mailers give them 3-7 day cushion. But good fodder nontheless:...

• [Rumor]: PS3 Going on a Diet

  The concept is definitely cool looking. Perhaps a spring announcement along with 360 and PS3 price drops? The guys at T3 are saying one of their inside men has heard word that Sony will be producing a slimmer, sexier PS3 heading for the shelves this autumn. While everyone knows that Sony will eventually shrink its very obese console, such news would... Posted Feb 01 2008, 09:32 AM by cosmo with | with 9 comment(s) Filed under: Playstation 3, Rumor
