KOTT #17 - In The Year 20XX

[Rush]

Naja, vielleicht haben die da auch was geändert- hab das zuletzt bei Final Fantasy VII im US-Store versucht und das schlug auf beschriebene Weise fehl. Vielleicht liegts auch daran, dass ich ne Mastercard und keine VISA hab-
Also wär noch Erfahrungen mit XX-Stores/Kreditkarten-Kombinationen gemacht hat, der darf das gerne posten.

Also gesammelte haben wir bis jetzt:

US-Store + VISA DE = ok!
US-Store + VISA AU = ok!
US-Store + MC DE = no!

...lässt schon erste Tendenzen erkennen

...

Ich kann Variante Nr.1 nochmal bestätigen, hat bei mir auch ohne Probleme funktioniert
Hab aber auch gelesen, das es mit anderen Karten als ner Visa Probleme geben könnte...deckt sich ja anscheinend mit deinen Erfahrungen^^

That Team Ico bundle that sneaked its way onto the internet? It’s real, TheSixthAxis has been told this morning, and it’s due Q1 2011.

We don’t currently have much other details that we can spill, and for obvious reasons we’re branding this a rumour, but our source not only confirmed that Ico and Shadow of the Colossus will be heading our way on a Blu-ray disk for the PS3, but also that we won’t see the double pack until the beginning of next year.

Sony declined to comment on the date and details when we asked them.

achja und:

Natal will launch in the US this October with a price tag of $149.

That’s according to a trusted source, who told us that the motion sensing camera will also be bundled with the Xbox 360 Arcade console for $299.

We were informed that prices outside of the US would be determined based on a number of factors, including exchange rates. Based on current rates, the standalone unit would retail for £103 / €121, and the console and Natal bundle for £207 / €243.

The figure for the standalone unit is significantly higher than a previous sub-£50 estimate, but less than pricing recently suggested by European retailers. It’s also more expensive than Sony’s Natal rival Move, which will be available later this year with a game for less than $100.

Our source said that the device has been pencilled in for an October 26 worldwide launch, although we were advised that the date could yet shift by a few weeks either way.

We were also told Microsoft’s camera definitely won’t be called Natal and that its proper title will be revealed at E3 next month. It will also be heavily targeted at causal players and families.

“Microsoft expects to sell millions and millions of Natal units in its first year on the market so you can expect the software launch line-up to target non-traditional gamers,” our source said. “A major marketing campaign will also play a key role in attracting and educating the expanded audience about Xbox 360’s controller-free revolution.”

When contacted about this report, Microsoft told us that it "does not comment on rumour or speculation”.

Zuletzt hat er ja krampfhaft versucht, seinen damaligen Wii-HD Teaser, als PS3 Move auszugeben. Und solche Leute sitzen in der Wirtschaft und bestimmen die Kurse von Morgen, kein Wunder das alles den Bach runter geht

Es ist unglaublich, was Valve für einen Service macht.
