According to Reuters, the GBM will retail in the United States for $99.  Thanks Michael McGuire.

 

There have been many arguments against the Game Boy Micro’s existence: the screen is too small, it’s unnecessary, the technology’s dated, and so on and so forth.  Then again, many thought that the Nintendo DS was suicide for the company, so I guess it could go either way.  We’ll find out soon enough, as Nintendo has announced that its third iteration of the Game Boy Advance is set to hit store shelves in just over a month, on September 19.  However, no price point has been mentioned, but hopefully it is right around the price of the current GBA model, which is $80 at GameStop.  It could go higher, but if it gets near the range of the Nintendo DS’s $120, this little guy may never make the cut.

Play-Asia has put up pre-order's for SNK's latest weapon fighter. This link supports it.

It comes out 11/24. Which makes sense since the arcade version is coming out around September.

When Blizzard announced that its northern offices were being relocated to California, they announced that they were working on a new, unannounced project that was believed to be Diablo III.  Well, Blizzard’s PR people have quickly squashed that rumor, stating that the new project is neither a sequel to Starcraft or Diablo.  So now the new speculation is that this project is an expansion to World of Warcraft, but it could be a new franchise all its own.  We don’t have to wait long to find out, though: the new game will be announced at their inaugural BlizzCon in October.

Microsoft Wednesday announced two pricing plans for its next generation video game console. When the Xbox 360 goes on sale this holiday season, buyers will be able to purchase a no-frills version for $299.99 or a bells-and-whistles version for $399.99.

 

The less-expensive core system will feature only the Xbox 360 console with a controller, which has to be plugged into the system to play games. The $400 option will come with a 20 GB hard drive, a wireless controller, a headset (used for talking with other players online) that stylistically matches the Xbox 360 and, for a limited time, a remote control allowing users to more easily access the machine's multimedia functions.

...

Microsoft also announced the price points for over a dozen Xbox 360 accessories, including stand-alone wireless controllers ($50), detachable 20 GB hard drives ($100), headsets ($20) and Xbox 360 faceplates ($20), which allow users to customize their machine.

 

Those hoping to take advantage of the Xbox 360's oft-touted high definition graphics will either need to purchase the $400 bundle or buy separate component cables (which will sell for $40) along with the basic system. The lower-end package will ship with standard AV cables.
