NEWSBITS
Some choice news stories from around the gaming world digested and spat out.
-Future, publishers of Edge and other assorted gaming magazines, have decided to run a subscription based WoW only magazine. Finally, WoW players will be able to put away the chamber pot underneath their chair and be able to experience WoW from the comfort of their toilet. The magazine won’t be available at traditional news retail outlets but will instead be sent directly to WoW player’s homes. This is not down to the death of print gaming mags, but to the reluctance of WoW players to leave the game behind for longer than it takes to make a sandwich and get a soda.
The magazine will be delivered first to the home of the subscriber, and then delivered to the player by the spouse or mother of the WoW player. We’re guessing it’s more likely to be the latter.
-Sony have announced the PS3 Slim and a $299 US price (or $360 Australian Dollars). In local news, the PS3 will be AU$499. The PSP Go will be $450. Oddly enough, sodomy is also around $450.
-Activision’s CEO, Mr Robert Kotick took a break from rape, pillage and looting to say that consumers would rather have sequels than new games. In between breathing fire on orphan cats, Mr Kotick also stated how women like diamonds and men love blow-jobs. Activision are rumoured to working on a game that combines both. It will require expensive hardware and have a long line of QA applicants.
-Rock Band Beatles is coming very soon and has apparently had input from Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. So now people under the age of 40 can be confused by the “Paul is Dead’ meme. “Dude, I though John and George were, er, nevermind.”
