I was wandering around the Zangamarsh after leveling to 62 on my main hunter and I thought to myself I wonder how many hours of my life I have invested into this game? The answer was fairly easy to achieve since in the game you can type /played and display all of the time you have played, which is both pretty coool and almost sad when you see just how much time you have spent in the World of Warcraft.
Any guess how many hours I have spent playing?

Are you thinking of grabbing Fable II pretty soon? Well it is no surprise to most that Fable II released a series of mini Pub Games to help promote the title before launch and give gamers an opportunity to build up some cash before even getting their hands on the game. Looks like there is a bit of a bug in the Pub games right now that allows players to become virtually rich very fast by allowing you to bet the minimum but cash in the maximum. This needs to be patched soon or you will have a bunch of rich Fable players even before the game launches.
The game in question is the Fortune’s Tower card game, and all you need to do is bet the lowest amount before you deal cards (15 chips), and then immediately hit the left bumper after you select “Deal.” This will max out the bet, but the only amount taken out of your pot is the initial 15.
I’ve been able to replicate this in all of the Fortune’s Tower games I’ve played — you eventually unlock new tables that allow higher bets — as well as in the tournament mode. And yes, I’m racking up quite a bit of gold, thank you.
It looks like the Wii is going ot milk Mario until he is bone dry, yet another Mario based title will be launched this Spring… Mario Super Sluggers. Mario goes baseball after he gets done racing around in his Kart apparently. It should prove to be interesting since the Wiimote lends itself perfectly to a baseball game, but I can only hope that it is better than the Wii Sports baseball and MLB PowerPros already released.
Here is the official Nintendo press release:
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The ongoing excitement over Nintendo’s groundbreaking Wii™ system gets a surprise springtime boost with the announcement of a new game. Kicking off its semiannual media summit in San Francisco near the company’s new sales and marketing offices in Redwood City, Calif., Nintendo of America today revealed plans for Mario Super Sluggers™ for Wii, giving baseball fans even more reason to root this season.

So I made the trip down to my local Best Buy and got on the dreaded line of lost souls a.k.a. customer service. I had nothing but fear in my heart that this process would become nothing short of a huge cluster fuck, but to my surprise all went well this time around. I walked up with my RROD edition Xbox 360 and a controller (I held onto my HDD) and told the girl at the counter that it died, she knew once I told her I had red lights that it was toast. She didn’t even bother checking it and at first wanted to only give me another white 360, so I asked her if I could get an Elite or Halo edition, after some convincing she agreed but unfortunately they were out of Elites. So the next best thing was the Halo Edition, which at least would give me the new Falcon chip and unique color scheme. The Best Buy worker actually gave me the HDD and the play and charge kit as well and didn’t make me buy another PRP, so all and all, it was a good trip and now I have a new functioning 360.
Hit the jump for my impressions of the Halo Edition system.

One of our readers sent us this tip via Engadget, thanks to Fragloser.
Looks like someone has uncovered a few Best Buy documents showing a $399 Playstation 3 with a 40GB HDD and Spiderman 3 bundle with an “In Stock Date” of October 28. Why pick Spider Man 3, go with 300!
Although these documents look real enough they are still very much a rumor at this point, but keep your eyes pealed as Sony might be looking to drop a new bundle as a surprise to us all. No official street date has been named, but lets see what else Best Buy lets out of the bag.
Hit the jump for the documents, what do you think?

Expect a crapload of Halo 3 details over the next week as we come closer to the release of the biggest game for the Xbox 360. Luke Smith posted on NeoGAF to let us know what to expect:
Sunday at Noon. Daily Content on Bnet between now and launch including Matchmaking Playlist reveals (maybe Tyson will write something on them, I gotta ask him tomorrowz), Networking, Saved Films, Guide and Tour of Bungie.net, more Forge, First Ever Halo 3 Humpday on brand new Forged Gametypes with films of Rocket Race, new 2 hour podcast with Joe Staten, Marty O’Donnell and Chris Gossett talking about the new Bnet, the next Blomkamp and finally, a long awaited pre-launch surprise.
Oooh a surprise? Wonder what it could be? I’m guessing some further single player details, but who knows. Knowing Bungie, it could honestly be anything. Oh, and “Bnet” = “bungie.net”.
