24/08, isn't that the day Europe gets BioShocked?



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

I think it was the date the Elite should come out anyway.

8/24 has alot of stuff happening in Europe for the X360:

Elite Launches (I assume the price drop was designed so that the elite would launch @ a lower price).

Bioshock (Europeans love X360/PC hybrids, as they always have done fairly well).

Blue Dragon (one of the more anticipated titles for the X360, as well as one that should garner sales from those outside the X360 fanbase).



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
