Gaming news updates

Motley Crue had made their first album track "Saints of Los Angeles" available for itunes and other providers as well as a Rock Band playable track. In its first week it sold 10,000 copies, on that same week it seperately sold 47,000 copies of it as a rock band song.

Atart founder has announced his knowledge of a new chip that will be standardized in new computer motherboards that will prevent piracy of PC games. a revolution that is made to get India and China finally give the money they have squandered.

If your a Zune owner/fan, Don't go to Gamestop anymore for stuff. They will not sell them anymore so accessories will probably go as well, or at least most won't. It's funny though because it lost them some of their gross profit margin and hurt their market share a bit, and it happened a while ago. Why do people notice it now? Because xbox users can put games they buy on arcade onto their Zune and use the touchpad. God i want one so bad.

The guitar hero rock bundle will be 10 dollars more than the rock band bundle, an already ridiculous attempt to cash in on the rock craze that its partial partner Harmonix is making pretty popular. Such a luck of undercutting Rock Band which has a steady growing number of content, and no promise of compatibility with Rock Band gear spells doom for this attempt by the guys behind Guitar Hero.

Rock Band is coming to europe, with the bundle costing twice as much as it does here. Ouch.

Left 4 Dead has been delayed till November of this year. Releasing the same month as GOW2 which makes choosing a delightfully challenging experience for some. And for people like me very irritating.
