A Cartload of Xbox 360 Rumors

Ó

Over at the Xbox360Fanboy website, OrangeLoungeRadio s come up with a hefty compilation of hearsay from a supposed sales meeting with some higher-ups. Some of these rumors have been mentioned in the past, but some are just totally too good to be true to pass up. Some of them have already been cleared up and debunked, but are somehow still re-surfacing as rumors once again.

And so, we're posting this, partly to refresh you with what's been (or will be or won't be) going on, and partly just as an interesting compilation for the future. And here's the long and short of it:
  • Rumors, rumors, rumors...Winning 11 Pro Evolution 2007 won't be exclusive to the 360. The PS3 version, however, will come out as late as May because the developers haven't received the final dev kits yet.
  • Activision says Guitar Hero sequel goes to Xbox 360.
  • No charge for online play of Phantasy Star Universe on the 360. But there will be a monthly fee for ps2">PS2 and PC users.
  • Full Auto 2 is scrapped out of the 360 due to low sales of the first installment.
  • Gears Of War will actually be out by November 7. But the "Emergence Day" is still November 12th. That's the hyped up event Microsoft was talking about.
  • Halo 3 will be out as early as March or April of 2007. Not Fall 2007.
  • Test Drive: Unlimited gets new download packs (ranging from Free to around $7.99) every month until June 2007.
  • No price drops and new "bundles" for Xbox 360. About Canada releasing a new bundle, their office works a bit indie from the US office, and the latter didn't know about it.
  • The vision camera bundle ($79.99) will replace the current 12-month Live bundle.
Again, these are just rumors from OrangeLoungeRadio, people. So if you have any info or reactions to some of them, let us know. You can also click the game title links above to read more on our updates for those individual games. Maybe soon, we can prove or disprove some of these rumors, so just keep checking from time to time.

Nothing seems outrageous...the live camera thing makes sense, since they probably want to get a good install base for it, like the headsets....cool...

Unless Microsoft is paying the fee for every Xbox360 user, its doubtful that Phantasy Star Universe will be fee-less for the Xbox360.



PSO wasnt free for Xbox and PSU will probably be the same.

i personally dislike the halo series, but I understand why M$ would push the release date up... the more blows they can get in on the PS3 this early, the better M$ will end up down the road. sony won't have any games that could compete with halo 3 for at least a year.



also, the no price drop stuff is a very very good move on the part of M$. it will make a huge difference down the road as well. this way, the first price cut could be timed creatively to offset the sony sales drive that will no doubt occur before holidays '07.

the phantasy star stuf I have heard elsewhere, s owho knows.



so the company who makes the full auto thinks the 350 was the problem for the low sales? WRONG, it was not a very good game, that's why it didn't sell...DUH make a good game and people buy it...DUH



halo 3 and gear of I war I will buy, whenever they come out, I don't care.

I downloaded the Full Auto demo off the marketplace, and it was a pile of *****e. Not suprising they've moved the sequel to the PS3.
