She also adds that a "Japanese company" is making a similar 3D "incarnation of a legendary racing franchise."

I don't know. I seem to remember her having a pretty good track record. Not perfect, but she was pretty good.Ballistictiger said:Surfer girl is as creditable as Hiphopgamer :lol
again... bullshit. just check the thread that has been linked here. Of course shes not going to get everything right but she got plenty of stuff correct and even brought us info on PoP 2008. She leaked a picture showing the 2 character mechanic when the game was alpha.Ballistictiger said:I remember a load of crap and safe guesses.

Color: They will probably ditch green as their main color and switch to someting like orange. That could be one of the boldest move towards a complete rebranding of the current Xbox devision.

I think the 360 will stay the same price, but will be bundled with Natal. They might release a barebones 360 SKU for a lot cheaper, but I think MS would much rather Natal was bought.Dark FaZe said:It's clear that the time to buy a 360 isn't now because some pretty big price drops are clearly coming, but it's a shame there aren't any leaks regarding Ps3 or Wii price dropping. I really want one or the other but I have to imagine they'll have to price match the 360 in some way.

Jtyettis said:I doubt the Wii drops the price until at least fall 2011 in the states. It had that price drop last year and I see no reason as to why it would have another with it still just trucking along. I suppose it is possible the PS3 may drop to $250 but at that rate it would seem Sony will never catch up with even on the HW although I suppose they should be close now, but that would put them right back in the same position for however long still.
Eh my money is on straight to $149 this holiday season just like the bigger drop to $199 two years before it. Last year was nothing more but a SKU exchange. At the high end there will almost certainly be a Slim and Natal combo however (likely later on as I think Natal will hit in Nov with a price cut/slim in August/Sept). This will leave $129 and $99 eventually in the last few years spread out before the next gen.

Oh hey, there's charlequin, being a jerk again, unable to deal with a deal with an opinion on what a company may do that isn't his.charlequin said:Yes, and Nintendo is going to change their name to Funcube this year in order to lure back the third parties. Look forward to the Funcube 3DS, coming soon to stores near you.

The next thing that will happen is that I'll state that MS seems like they're looking to remove the XBox from the name of their game system because it's associated with the hardcore locked in their basement bro demographic, and they want to also appeal to the casual expanded audience that seems to be buying the Wii consoles. They can do this because the hardcore bro demographic refers to the system as the 360 anyway, and slowly removing the XBox from the name won't hurt that demographic in any significant manner. I will then reiterate that they will start by reducing the prominence of the XBox in the name and focus on the 360 part. I'll then concede that they may not be able to completely remove the XBox in the name, but it won't be focused on anymore.
He'll then come back with a mocking tone and state that I'm wrong - citing assumptions pulled out of his ass about the shape of the market and how it will never happen. Then he'll hedge his statement by saying that it might happen at some point because he doesn't know the future. He will retain his mocking tone the entire time.
I will then ask him to take one stance or the other and reiterate my position.
He'll then edit my response down to one or two sentences and mock that part of it.
At this point a 3rd individual will jump in with all lowercase letters and no punctuational. He will come in from charlequin's position in a much less wordy and less thought out manner. This individual may be fuming at the ears or crying. It will never exactly be clear.
I will respond to both. I will state that I'm bored, and that we'll just have to see what happens.
Charlequin will then claim to have won the argument.
Whatever. Charleqin is obviously much better at this whole arguing on the internet thing than I am. He's also much more capable of creating walls of text.
Yay.

This is not me. I don't even know what a gloss black television is; hell, I have trouble remember the difference between glossy and matte laptop screens.
Can't you come up with an original albeit absurd (perhaps even incoherent) moniker instead of ride on the coattails of someone with a dubious-at-best legacy? Also, ratchet the likely condescending sociopolitical didacticism up to eleven if your cover blog* shtick wants to even be remotely convincing.
Finally, your puns are fucking horrible and make me out to be some entity along the lines of 50 Cent circa 2000 or whenever he got shot nine times. I mean, I'm sure 50 Cent circa 2000 was a great drug dealer or whatever, but I'm very far removed from him in any aspect. Though, I knew this bearded yuppie about five years ago I suspected moonlighted as pusher.
Really, why couldn't I go to nine months without receiving an email about this "surfer girl" stuff? If I wanted to continue this charade, I wouldn't have ended then deleted my original blog. Like heroin**, anonymous gaming rumorblogs with incoherent titles are so passe.
*Is cover blogging even a thing?
**It's a fucking Dandy Warhols reference.
But seriously, if this was my blog, I probably would've titled it "Pocahontas Goes to Burning Man."
"Surfer Girl Strikes Back" is just so creatively bankrupt.
I think this is where I'm supposed to rant about the maliciousness of the California Republican gubernatorial primary race. Also, Prop 16 is an equally malicious attempt by Pacific Gas & Electric to fuck over our state Enron-style; vile corporatism at its worst.
But if I'm going to wax speculatory, how about that arms race between console manufacturers to see who can make gamers look the stupidest when playing games? Nintendo's going to have to add some 3D glasses to top Natal, eh? But Sony is at the front of the pack with both 3D glasses and magic wands.
