This Week in HD-DVD



First off, news on the HD-DVD front. Last week Universal officially announced they'd be shipping over 100 new HD-DVD titles in 2007. Can you say sweetness? But this week we can look forward to a few pot smoking, alcohol drinking, comedy HD-DVDs. Sorry, that's what you are getting this week, because both Beerfest and Half Baked will be out on Tuesday. Speaking of Half Baked, whatever happened to Dave Chappelle? Last time I checked he ran off to Africa and was complaining that he made too much money ... sounds rough.

    HD-DVD Movie Releases: January 30th
  • Beerfest
  • Discovery Atlas Series
  • Half Baked
  • The Wicker Man

COD3 Valor Map Pack returns to the Marketplace



The problems people were having with the new CoD3 Valor Map Pack have now been fixed and some bugs
regarding Ranked Lobbies and Ranked Matches have been addressed as well
in an Auto-Update. It's good to see developers taking actions and
keeping the community well informed on issues like this. How do you think the developers handled the situation, and after all is
said and done, are the maps really worth all the trouble?

New Wii Colors - Fact or Fiction



In the usual form of internet rumor starts, an anonymous Nintendo rep
informed someone over at GameDrift that consumers should expect new Wii
console colors this year. Further details had headed for the hills,
leaving this lone report at GameDrift all on its own to fend for
itself. They do say, however, that red and black are a done deal, with
more to be available, alongside those two, later this year.



So what say you all? Bogus or are you willing to put your faith in this anonymous Nintendo rep?
