Unfortunetly its not confirmed yet. Its still a rumor

 

[TheGrayGhost]

Yep, that's still rumor. Wait until the end of the week.

 

[Mentok]

Or you can wait 10 minutes for the liveblog of the Japanese event to start. Then you will know the Japanese price and you can work out the approx U.S price from that.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Read the damn article from Gamespot, it says the launch date and price right on it. Also Wii Sports will be packed with the system

 

[TheGrayGhost]

I did read it. It's all over the internet, but it isn't entirely credible. It could prove to be true, but it isn't official. Yet.

Mentok, could you please post the information once you get the chance?

 

[Kipobe]

It's 95% accurate... and it would've likely been shut down by now if it wasn't true. The credible sources would be risking alot of post rumors such as this.

Did they say anything about what the controller packaging would be?

 

[Kipobe]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

TP Delayed until the end of the year...?

I hate you all.

I hate you all.

Look on the bright side, they did not say that it will not be a launch title and November/December is considered to be the end of the year

 

[Kipobe]

This is veeeeerry rumorish. I still believe TP is launch day.

Anyway, 10 new VC games a month starting in Jan.

 

[Kipobe]

NY Times and the Seattle article have pulled their info....

The rumors remain just that... rumors!

 

[Kipobe]

The next hour or so promises some good info from Mr. President himself... but it's 2am for me and I have to be up in 4 hours, so Mentok.... take over the night shift. :cyay:
