Wow, don’t know how I missed this. This attractive Master Chief statue came in stock on the 6th. I got the notify but somehow it got buried. I just hope you don’t miss your chance to get this great Limited Edition statue of Master Chief with interchangeable arms and weapons (2 M7s or an Assault Rifle).
It’s detailed and pretty awesome, like most stuff produced by Kotobukiya, showing Master Chief standing on the field of battle, the bubble shield dissipating as he gets ready to enter the fray. Not many of these will be made available. This is one not to be missed. Click for more info.

Ack, i forgot to post this on the 5th. Oh well, here it is.
The Wii console sold more units in the year to March 2008 than both Xbox 360 and PS3 combined. Industry analyst Daniel Ernst of Hudson Square Research said the same pattern is likely to be repeated this year as well.
In Japan, sales of Xbox 360 are in freefall, most likely a reaction to the ongoing saga of the red ring of death, still running at 16%, despite all Microsoft’s reported efforts to fix it. In fact, the Xbox was ranked bottom of the list of all handheld and console products sold in the region.
Even though sales have been weak, they are likely to be hit further by a reported shortage of available units in the US, as reported in a previous post.
Perhaps Microsoft can console themselves with one bright spark: 50% of US console users who play games online use the Xbox 360, against 18% for Wii and 18% for PS2. But I guess they knew that already.

I’m finding Tumblr more difficult to use than another blog I have running on Word Press, and I still can’t get the widgets working in the sidebar, so I’ve decided to move it over. This will most likely take a couple of days.
In the meantime, proof that the RROD has no favorites comes from Ed Dale, internet marketer best known for the Thirty Day Challenge, who was playing a new game he received for his birthday when rrodoom struck.
For some reason, I got this image of the Queen of England watching Prince Phil play Halo 3, “One is cheering One on!” and struck down by the Red Ring. Lol.
