EA planning to sell out?
Sources from VGCHARTZ.com say that EA has been secretly searching for a buyer, which adds on to the rumors being heard for a while this year about EA selling out. Since their market has dropped by 37 percent the company has been looking to sell and has potential clients right now. Electronic Arts is selling a share for $20.00 dollars each.
Sony says NO TO PRICE CUTS!
If you were hoping for a price cut anytime soon you are way off, Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida said in a interview 'EuroGamer' , "It’s a great time for consumers to look at purchasing PS3 this year. There are a variety of games coming out and new and exciting games coming out next year,"
He when on to say not to expect one anytime soon on the Vita either. PS3 had a rocky start but overall it managed being a well Xbox competitor. The Xbox beating it in sales but a few million more. Don't expect a PS4 anytime soon either maybe not even 2013 since the PS3 just recently reached its prime time. Since the software updates keep it to date the shelf life consoles like the PS3 drastically increase by a lot and since the PS3 has been prove a great console there hasn't been much talk about a PS4 but when the rumors arise we can expect people to push the bounds of what console can do.
Overall expect to see no PlayStation gaming devices to receive a price cut soon not even the dying PS Vita. Now as for the PS Vita the system itself looked amazing with many possibilities that can make it stand against gaming devices like Smartphones and Tablets yet the games are over priced and the device itself has a price to give any person a Heart attack. What Sony should have focused on was getting a major title on the gaming system with Console like graphics , for example bringing Call of Duty : Black Ops 2 nearly exactly the same as the console version would be amazing or at least the Zombies or the multiplayer that would bring in many players since there is yet to be amazing on the go FPS game that is like a console game.
All we can say is that the Vita is letting the handheld systems down and all we can hope is that the 3DS can make up for it or we can see the death of the handheld and the birth of a new handheld breed of iPhones and tablets.
​Nintendo's Wii U, announcement? or something different?I'm a paragraph.
September 13, this marks the date for Nintendo's event in NYC and now that the Wii U is getting a few successful titles its way many people are starting to get more hopeful for Nintendo. Nintendo saved gaming once long ago with Super Mario Bros. but with the Wii it nearly ruined it and the Big N has to be successful this time around. The Wii U at first glance looked like a sad attempt at coming back but as the games like ZombiU were presented gamers are giving some positive feedback to the console. We at Gamer Plus are extremely excited for this new console and wish it the best of luck. The NYC media said that the news was earthshaking but we all are pretty sure we are getting a price and release date but you never know.
Nintendo at E3 said they would be trying to roll out the Nintendo Wii U before Thanksgiving but lets hope they do get it before Christmas because most profits come from the holidays. Nintendo says that they will change the future of gaming and for once I can't disagree so far they are proving it works but these are what they so far accomplished. They gave games more real flow by allowing you to move and change items, combined a tablet and console into one and all that's left is nailing the price. The console looks pricey honestly but if they can somehow make it $199.99 or less they are looking at great profits, anything higher can give them a small bump on the road though overall the console looks interesting enough we just need more games to prove the abilities.
27% price cut for the Kinect Sensor! No longer $150!!
Many of us with an Xbox want a Kinect but it basically costs the same as the console alone. Well starting Thursday this week the Kinect dropped to $109.99 which saves you $50 bucks on average. Now calm down, don't rush to Best Buy quite yet, and no there is no catch but the %27 percent off is permanent so you have time to save up your money and get it when you can. However many of us
wanted to see a drop price on the Xbox but no worries the holidays are coming up so be sure to stay tune as we are sure there will be a price drop at least by a few bucks. The only sad part of this overall story is that Xbox users in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Japan won't be seeing a price drop anytime soon which honestly can have a lot to do with the market sales.
To drive commercial development, the company has released a toolkit that helps developers build Kinect awareness into Windows applications. The Kinect for Windows SDK gives software developers the ability to create apps that leverage Kinect's most advanced capabilities, including sound localization, depth and distance interpretation, skeletal tracking, and advanced audio processing. Accordding to information week.
Alot of companies have or are working with Kinect to help there work ethics, like organizations. Toyota, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and Razorfish are one of the many companies to adopt Kinect into there company. Microsoft is doing this price cut in order to let developers create more functions with it on the PC and bring more life into the PC because as of now most users turn into Smartphones and Tablets for their computing or communicating needs.
Nintendo Power, to end. Nothing Beautiful lasts forever
Nintendo Power Ends After 24 year run, they have yet to say when their final magazine will be released but one thing is for sure, I will be sad. I loved Nintendo power since I first subscribed using my Nintendo GameCube discount mail-in card. Despite the fact everything is going digital it is sad to see this one go down so soon, I wanted to last forever or at least 8 more years but looks like its plug was pulled and soon they will stop printing.
While I am all for saving the environment and not wasting paper and other materials I feel like nothing beats a hard copy of anything. I love buying printed magazines, they feel more interactive than online magazines but iPad magazines is different but I rather have a hard copy. Not change subject much but same goes to games, I fear the day everything goes digital, and while I save my games to the hard drive , I still love having my hard copy of the game, think of it as a collectible/Back up.
All I have to say is good bye Nintendo Power, I will make sure to be all your most recent issues for the memories.

It has been 20 years of this pink little guy and with it came lots of amazing games. Well to celebrate Kirby's 20th anniversary Nintendo will be releasing a compilation disc filled with some of the best Kirby games ever created.

Final Fantasy reaches their 25 years since the original game was sold. In japan they are about to sell a Box Set that contains nearly the entire collection of the Final Fantasy franchise. It is however in Japanese. Besides the video games that box set comes with there will be a Two Disc selection of music and a collection of artwork by the longtime series image artist Yoshitaka Amano.The box set comes with other things as well, but the thing that you might want to think about first if a Japanese game box set at a price of around $445 is worth buying, there is no word on a english version yet.
Final Fantasy's 25th anniversary!
Curiosity: What's Inside the Cube
In much more strange news , Molyneux has announced the game project he was working on but the strange thing doesn't start there and since there wasn't much known it wasn't really news worthy until this was said. The game is based on finding the center of the cube which you can click the video on the left to watch. The game seems it will be something like Minecraft where you will dig using tools makes digging faster but it appears it will use the in game purchase method for you to obtain these tools. The goal is rather simple, who ever gets to the center wins, you can choose to work as a team but only the person who hits the final block wins, but what can be behind it? 1 Million dollars? A new car? No one know which is why the game starts getting interesting but not news worthy.
Here's the newsworthy part, The game contains multiple items such chisels and such, but one of the DLC items you can buy makes digging much faster but the price tag is mind blowing. First off I would love to state that I hate buying DLC and the only DLC I have bought was COD Black Ops Zombies , the rezurection map pack. The only DLC to me that was worth of buying since it came with the most maps for Zombies it being 5 maps and the price was like 15-20 bucks. This item in the game goes over 300 times that, the item known as diamond chisel priced at $77,000.
You read correctly, the idea behind this game is that the pressure of trying to know what is behind the box will crack someone and will lead to them purchasing the item or teaming up with people to purchase it. The Diamond Chisel will break the cube in the hands of anyone but the rules still apply which means he can be one block away and I come and break and I win. This game is pure insanity but we would love to play it too.
