Gaming News Smackdown.
Oct. 12th, 2006 01:06 pmGaming blogs are reporting "confirmation" that Gamestop will be opening pre-orders for the Nintendo Wii on Friday.
The only "confirmation" that's available comes from Go Nintendo who have a scan of a hard copy of an e-mail that supposedly comes from Gamestop management. That's not confirmation. There's no reason for anyone to believe that the e-mail that's been scanned is actual. I can type this e-mail up, spoof an official address and print it out, and it's still false. Scanning it in doesn't make it true.
Now, my suspicion is that it is true, but still: not confirmed.

It's been a year of ups and downs for Sony but we're now just a few weeks from the arrival of PlayStation 3. Excitement is in the air, but if you're still not convinced, this image from TGS might allay those fearsThen, there's a picture of Japanese people standing in a room.

The court ordered production of the game by tomorrow at 3pm, for his full review of the game while it is being played, up to or more than 100 hours.—BREAKING - Miami Court Orders Take-Two to Turn Over "Bully"
