wasn't up for long, just hope this all doesn't lead to a crappy GOW3 teaser, but something meaty

In game halo 3, not my pic as i had no camera, but i saw it aswell. Just popped up like the message after the AU2 went live, not sure if it was a mistake and they have removed it or it only pops up once, so i can't see it again. Either way, i just hope itwill be a good substantial look at their new game

UK didnt get a price cut did it?FirstDiscovery

Yup, arcades down to 129.99, the pro around 160 i think and the elite is 229.99

Take that PS3 fanboys! The PS3 is going to DIE!

JK, it's not a big deal. That is what a price cut if for. Sales will tail off taper down, and if not Sony will reduce their prices. Its a chess match.

They definatley need to in th UK the ps3 is almost 2/3rds more expensive now

The UK market is one of the 360's best territories, when you compare sales to population, the amount of consoles per person is roughly equivalent to the US. The 360 isn't doing badly here like continental Europe, so a 32% increase in sales on already steady numbers is substantial. For example a 200% increase on 10,000 a week, is only 30,000, where as if you were selling 60,000 a week a 32% increase would mean roughly 79,000. An equivalent rise in sales numbers but the percentage is vastly lower.

I think a lot of people here equate UK=Europe, and they hear how Europe=Sonlyland, but Uk sales have far more in common with US trends, with the wii out in front the 360 in a comfortable second and the ps3 selling well, but not well enough to make inroads on the 360's substantial sales lead.

UM ok...If g4 did have a secret event they were planning with m$ they would admit it right? That would be the proper thing to do, there's no chance they would lie in order to keep us guessing?

I think most of this rumor is pretty unlikely, but how is this proof? come on!

[QUOTE="KinkInDaLink"]Why does everyone think this is a bad thing? It sounds more like a bungie type situation, where the devs wanted independence and microsoft agreed in return for exclusive publishing rights. It makes no difference to us except we will probably see better games as ensemble or whatever they choose to call themselves will have more creative control, while at the same time still getting microsft's money.justforlotr2004

This seems to be different as they are disolving the company and not just releasing them from 1st party. The main people seem to be forming a new group, but it won't be called Ensemble studio's or be related.

Just sounds more like restructuring to me, the new company set up by the ensemble crew wouldn't jump back in bed with M$, if there was bad blood. This looks like its been in the works for quite a while too. I know a lot of the ensemble guys have said over on they're forums that they were getting tired of making rts and wanted to do new things. They'll prob just stay with MGS and join the"new" halo team while the others continue with supporting halo wars and making new age games.

Lol the new one isn't even out so how do you know you like the old one??:?

Besides the new one has 8 player private chat which is worth it right there.

The PS3 has been able to do 6 player private chat, and to be honest it's been a worthless feature...I've only chatted one on one before.

And I thought PSN's private chat was much more limited than the 360s.

how are they any different?

I've never tried on the ps3, but can you chat cross game?
