i hate to say this, but this is the worst April Fools day joke on this forum so far. (okay, not counting the idiot pretending to be Mod 1.1)

Why I think so? Well, the purpose of April Fools is to make a false info that seems credible enough for people to believe in.

Epic worth WAY more than Bungie, and there's no way they'd cost 500 million each.

Also, Sony doesn't have the 1 billion dollars to throw around, especially when Bungie doesn't have much IP to give since Microsoft holds the IP name "Halo"

Frankly, If this thread is... "Sony buys Square Enix for $$$", I'd probably believe it for a few seconds. :)

Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

It seems that all the Sony fanboys want Halo, Gears etc... Why didn't you just buy an Xbox?

Man most people can not afford to buy two HD gaming consoles and the cost of new games is expensive to.

Nice one...but I knew it was nonsense, as you picked a price too low...you should have picked soemthing like $2-3 bln for it to come off as being real.
