"Do you really have to go?" my wife asked. It was late, and the night was still. I put on my press hat, grabbed my notebook and, after a moment's hesitation, my revolver.
"Yes. He always gives me good information, and the Mole-signal is lit." I looked out the window and saw it, pale against the night clouds. Something was up. The Mole had something for me.
"He scares me," my wife whispered, going back to sleep. What I didn't tell her was that he scares me too. I didn't want her to worry.
"Resident Evil 5 looks like it's going to be a big thing for Microsoft," I heard the raspy voice say the second I stepped outside. I froze... now he knows where I live. I told him that he was being silly, the game is coming to the PS3 as well. Have you ever heard someone begin to smile? It's eerie, and somewhat uncanny. I knew I only had part of the story.
"The demo is coming to Xbox Live first, and there are other things you don't know, big things. Wait for more news. Your family is lovely, by the way..." I felt a sharp stabbing sensation, and my legs gave out.
I came to in my living room, and my wife was looking at me, concerned. I smelled tea and noticed a few other people there, making sure I was okay. "Thanks for not calling the police," I said, and coughed. I saw the tranq dart on the table, and picked it up. "He didn't give me any news, though."
"This was pinned to your back," Jess told me, handing me a piece of paper. I unfolded it carefully, and learned about a new Xbox 360 bundle.

I knew the information was solid—the Mole always breaks stories before anyone else had them. This bundle would be coming, and it looks great. No information on pricing or hard drive size, if it even comes with a hard drive, but this lines up with Capcom being more Xbox-friendly these days.
Exciting news. Does this bundle entice anyone?
