Now this just goes to show you just can’t keep a good rumour down.. It is quite obvious that is Microsoft pretty keen on getting a huge title like Metal Gear Solid 4 onto the Xbox 360. MCV UK reports that Xbox Live boss John Schappert has said that he would "love to see the game come to 360" and the went on about the machines "horsepower". This comes after Yoshitaka Arai apparently told a Japanese paper that "The worldwide demand for an Xbox 360 version of MGS4 is quite high, and it is something we are currently looking in to.” I think that if Konami doesn't do it then they are fools. More after the jump. Why wouldn't Konami release it for Xbox 360, especially if Microsoft is actually right and the machine can handle the demands of the games engine. The way I see it, the exclusivity has done it's job. Many PS3's were sold and everyone at Sony is happy. So why not release the game to an entire market of gamers who want nothing more than to play the game. It makes perfect business sense and will almost literally double the sales of the game, if not more when they open it up to a new market. Exclusives are starting to get on my nerves. Look at Bioshock, it is now being released on PS3 a year after the Xbox 360 version and those developers and publishers can look forward to a huge amount of sales for a lot less effort than it would require to completely build another game.

You may remember that just yesterday, we reported that the EndWar demo was not going to be coming to the PS3. The reason? We still aren't sure but this is really getting my interest because I want to know why. Are we looking at a scenario where companies are actually starting to get paid to keep their demo's exclusive? Maybe what is happening is just a reaction from Ubisoft against all of the noise being made because of the exclusive demo. I am going to keep my eye on this one.

An anonymous source has informed us that a local distributor has released a press release to retailers stating that games prices will be rising due to the economic crisis. The press release apparently states that due to the Rand weakening some 22% (R9.45 to the Dollar at the time of writing) that game prices will be increasing as of October 27. If game prices go up to between 20% - 25% we may very well be looking at the possibility of R850 for standard titles. We have a word of advice, after the jump. It doesn't take long to realise that there are going to be a lot of massive titles releasing in November and December, so if I can give you a word of advice it is this. Pre-order, Pre-Order and Pre-Order. That way the prices are locked down and the retailers can't charge you more. Also, if there are any October titles that you were thinking about picking up at a later stage (not pre-owned) then you may want to get your hands on them before the 27th. This is bad, bad news considering that we are about to run into what is arguably the greatest summer line-up of all time.

The COD5 Beta is in full swing at the moment and it looks like the Beta junkies in all of us are in for another treat. The Resistance 2 Beta keys for the US version are being sent out right now and the UK ones are apparently going to be arriving soon enough. The download is 2.2Gb so it looks …

If your name isn’t Mike or Phetole then unfortunately you didn’t win one of the 2 Beta keys we were raffling off yesterday.. Thanks for all the entries though as we did receive over 200 valid entries before the cut off time of midnight and another 100 after this cut off… Enjoy the Beta guys (or girls?) and if you …

The only Socom players I know are super hardcore, I guess that’s why I’ve always steered clear of the game. Not that being hardcore is a bad thing, it can however be hard to have fun when there’s a bunch of guys on your team that actually believe they were born to be special forces. So with Socom Confrontation coming …

More reliable Xbox 360s are starting to trickle onto the market, but the fallout from the “red rings of death” remains. Now Microsoft are facing a class action lawsuit in California. Last Updated: October 16, 2008

The time of the super gaming season is nearly upon us and LittleBigPlanet is one of the games that it leading the charge. This video is TV spot for LBP that has just gone up in the United States of Cheeseburgers (probably) and is looking fantastic as always. With a strong title like LBP leading the PS3 charge, Sony could very well look to gain a load of new customers.
