We’ve been trying to keep you up to date on the New Xbox Experience that was set to release this fall. And at their TGS keynote, Microsoft annouced that the fall update, which will encompass the New Xbox Experience, will be released on November 19th. The update is being received with a lot of praise by everyone who has played with it at the Tokyo Game Show. The update radically changes the GUI which I’m sure many fans of the blades will initially be against, but after some time the new intuitive, fluid, and active design should begin to catch on. Along with a new design, their is tons of new functionality. Some of the major features include ripping games to the HDD, streaming Netflix movies right to your console, and a radically different in-game menu. As we get closer to November 19th, excitement for the update will increase. Get excited.
Metal Gear Solid: 4 may be THE most anticipated game for the Playstation 3, besides Killzone. Well, our friends at Konami just released some screenshots for this game that is really getting a lot of buzz. They are mostly screens of the bosses in the game, but there are also screens of gameplay. Hit the link to check the rest of them out.

After a listing for an Xbox 360 version of Metal Gear Solid 4 became available for pre-order on UK retailler HMV’s website, the gaming world went crazy with speculation. Knowing that they had created a monster, HMV made a statement today to Gameindusty.biz stating that the listing was put up in error. They stated,
In his enthusiasm, one of our online games team indicated that hmv.co.uk would start taking pre-orders for MGS4 on Xbox 360, when, in fact, he simply meant to ask customers if they wished to receive an alert in the event of this title one day coming out on this platform
So it was all a great big misunderstanding. But where did that September 26th release date come from? We may never know… >_<
UK mega retailer HMV has quite an interesting item up for pre order on their website. Not only are they offering a pre order for the PS3 version of MGS 4, but they are giving buyers the chance to pay for the 360 version in advance as well. Wait a sec, the 360 version? The unconfirmed super rumor version? The version that has sparked more debate in the gaming world than any other game for as long as I can remember? Yes that’s right, that version.
Now either way you look at it, HMV screwed up. Either someone released classified info too soon, or somehow they listed an item that doesn’t exist at all. If the former is true, many Xbox 360 gamers will be delighted and many Konami execs will be fuming. If the latter ends up being the real story, then I’m sure the executives are freaking out and the 360 players will soon be the ones who are angry. Especially the ones who just jumped all over the opportunity to pre order the game.
HMV has the game slated for a September 26th 2008 UK release, but we will have to wait and see whether this is for real or will all fall through beneath our feet. Hit the link to see a screenshot of the listing, or check it out for yourself here.
