I might bite on this and get an arcade, since I have an old 360 just lying around right now with a 20gb HDD. If this one is really more quiet I think I might help delay the PS3 pass 360 day Ive been waiting for by one unit lol.




wer're famous!



Dodece paraphrases from another forum and the whole gaming community runs away with it? That sounds as crazy as the rumor.



Well, G4 has no clue what Dodece was talking about: http://kotaku.com/5047059/g4-says-no-to-xbox-360-relaunch-rumor

G4 Says "No" To Xbox 360 Relaunch Rumor

While we're waiting to hear back from Microsoft on the VGChartz forum-sourced Xbox 360 "relaunch" rumor and speculation, one allegedly involved party has given us denial. G4 reps told us that the 5-hour special’ rumored to air on the cable network is "fake."

"We currently do not have anything planned in conjunction with Microsoft for September 25," the rep added. "I can’t speak for Microsoft but can say we do not have anything planned."

Nothing planned, they say. Perhaps G4 is blissfully unaware of Microsoft's plans to hijack its broadcast, as Weird Al Yankovic was notorious for doing to MTV in the mid 1980s. Damn you, Weird Al! If you do this one more time even with the aid of Microsoft, there will be hell to pay, free games or not!

Why would assassins creed 2 come exclusively for the 360? That makes no sense, a European company making a game that sold better on the PS3 in Europe (where they have repeatedly said they make more money per sale) despite coming out at a low time in the PS3s history a 360 exclusive? Mass Effect 2 sure (though I think EA said it would be simultaneous with PC, I sure hope so) and the other ones make sense, but not assassins creed.


If MS will spend 300 million on a weird commercial about Seinfeld and Gates buying shoes then why not do this? It doesn't really make sense but neither does that commercial or making a computer look like a sphere/table or 90% of the things Microsoft decides to do. Microsoft is just random enough that this is likely true, they have so much money from gouging people on Office (1000 dollars for the full version) and Vista (400 for ultimate) sales they could even start a big bonfire of 100 dollar bills and not even notice.

Correction, if you are a college student, you can buy Vista Ultimate for the low-low price of $64.95 via this website. All you have to give Microsoft is your college email address:

Be warned as the installation DVD you can add is $13.00, and I would BUY that. The 'download' after your purchase is buggy and only downloads a 87.7MB file to install (original file size is 2.6GB), so buy the installation DVD for $13.

ANYWAYS, this is for being OT; It's good for Microsoft for wanting to re-launch the X360 by saying, "Yes, we made a mistake, but we'll make it up by offering a re-launch with products and software that was unavailable when we first launched." Sure it might seem desperate, but it would be noble to regain the consumer's trust. We know they are still bleeding money on this, but it's not our thing to worry, as we don't lose the millions they are doing to go through with this

 



Why did people listen to Dodece? Has no one read his post history?



As in go buy us some coffee.

I hope this comes true now, cause if not...

If not, what? More people will doubt VGChartz on the interwebz? OHNOEZ.GIF

So a bunch of sites picked up on a juicy rumour, whoopdy-doo. You sound like your reputation is on the line if VGChartz doesn't come through on a rumor posted from a member who heard it from another forum.

If anything, I'd say the sites are picking this up because they would want Microsoft to do something so bold and so daring. Hell, I'd love to see just half of this stuff come true. Consumers win, period.



Don't forget N4G, it'll probably be 1000° soon

Rumour - Xbox Live Experience to launch on September 25

VG247: If this is remotely true, the internet's going to f*****g break. This post on VGChartz reckons New Xbox Experience will launch on September 25 alongside what sounds like a comedic amount of game announcements. Snip:

Microsoft will release a dozen new demos after the launch. There will be four new downloadable pieces of content a preview of the GTA DLC. A Mass Effect expansion. Portal and a free map pack for Halo 3.

Microsoft will unveil twelve new games never seen before that will be exclusive or first on the 360. Strangely enough the author only gives out code names for said games. Though they speculate that among them is Assassins Creed 2, Mass Effect 2, a new Conker title, a Rare shooter new franchise, and two new Halo titles.
