So on the back of the current rumours about the 60Gb model being dropped comes an entirely new rumour fresh out of the box. When we saw Project Natal at E3 it wasn’t quite the finished piece but it wasn’t far off. It worked, it could be tested by strangers and it stood up to the tests pretty well. Now …

Before you get too excited, let me explain the heading first. GTplanet.net tells us that they have “learned the tentative release date for Gran Turismo 5 through an unofficial but extremely reliable source.” What this basically means is that we still don’t have an official statement from Sony but we should really be sitting up and paying attention because these …

A source of Videogaming247 has informed them that Microsoft is looking to release Forza 3 this Christmas. While nothing is confirmed, and Microsoft has yet to even comment on the game’s existance, it seems really likely that they will be aiming to have a new exclusive out this December to strengthen their line-up. If the leaked information from last June …

Hands up whoever is still at work… sucks doesn’t it. Well hopefully you will be going on leave soon enough and will be coming back in the new year refreshed and ready for anything. When you get back in the new year you will hopefully see some very nice changes here at Lazygamer as all leave has been cancelled while …

Hopefully not. It seems that Microsoft have taken a lot of steps to ensure that last year’s crash doesn’t happen again. With the price of consoles dropping, the release of the NXE as well as the upcoming holiday period, Live is set to take a ton of weight onto its shoulders but Microsoft say that they are prepared. Microsoft’s Aaron …

A report from PS3 Attitude has come in saying that the ability to import your own images into LittleBigPlanet will be patched in really soon. How soon? It looks as if it will be available by Christmas. The function was supposed to originally be in the game at launch, but was left out due to time constraints with the plan to patch it in later. It seems that a couple of of clever people have already made a plan around the lack of the function by using their Playstation Eye but they obviously wouldn't be able to such a great quality image into the level. Lookout for more news on the patch as we draw closer to December.

Most of you will not need to be told that there are some massively anticipated games coming within the next month or so. Most of us are already assigning money to which games we are gong to be purchasing. To make your planning a little easier, I have put together a list of all the big titles and their SA release dates. If you are planning to rob a bank, I can highly recommend that you do it on the 23rd of October because the next day, a huge selection of titles are going to be coming our way. The Full List of releases, after the jump. Ok, so here are the SA Release dates for most of the popular games that will be coming out this quarter. Please note that some dates may change as well as the fact that I may have missed one or two titles that you believe to be important. If so, please leave info about it in the comments and I will try and update the list: 17 October Saints Row 2 24 October Dead Space Fable II Far Cry 2 Midnight Club: Los Angeles Motorstorm: Pacific Rift Bioshock (PS3) 31 October Red Alert 3 James Bond: Quantum of Solace Legendary Lego Batman Silent Hill: Homecoming 1 November Fallout 3 7 November Gears of War 2 LittleBigPlanet 14 November Call of Duty: World at War 21 November Mortal Kombat vs DC Grand Theft Auto IV (PC) 30 November Lord of the Rings: Conquest Mirror's Edge Left 4 Dead Tom Clancy's Endwar 5 December Resistance 2 Prince of Persia Damnation Well, there you have it folks.

With PS3 sales overtaking Xbox 360 sales in the last couple of months there have been many articles and reports flying around the internet saying that the PS3 is finally starting to catch up to the 360 and may possibly even overtake it soon. Interesting concept, except for the fact that it's flawed. The current sales of the Xbox 360 and PS3 on VGchartz are as follows: Xbox 360: 20.44 Million Playstation 3: 15.05 Million The thing is, that if you look at the console sales, you can see that the gap in sales between the PS3 and Xbox 360 is still roughly the same as it was when the PS3 was launched. This means that in the current state, the sales of the PS3 are at best only matching the sales of the Xbox 360 even though sales for Sony's console have picked up recently. The PS3 is indeed becoming more popular and the past problems with the Xbox 360's hardware have made quite a difference. However, we all know that the Xbox 360 is going to be the only console offering HD next-gen gaming at the magic price of $199 US dollars. As we have stated in previous articles, come Christmas time, parents are going to be flocking to stores to ensure a truckload of new foul mouthed children join us on Xbox Live and when they do, the low price of the Xbox 360 is going to be incredibly tempting, especially with Nintendo's Wii suffering from shortages abroad. As much as the PS3 enjoys strong brand recognition and a a large fanbase from the PS2 generation, the purchasing decisions are that of the parents and not the children and when the price is right, the parents are all for it. So how is the the future of the PS3 looking? We spend so much time discussing exclusive titles and graphics comparisons that we forget that at the end of the day it largely comes down to parents, standing in a store, staring at shelves with PS3's and Xbox 360's on them. They don't care about MGS4 and Gears of War 2. They see a low price tag on one of them "new console thingamajigs" and the truth is, its not the PS3. It seems pretty obvious which one is going to be leaving in their trolley.
