What happens when you cross the streams?

PWNED... sorry, I'll go take my own life now.

Does anyone know when the new chip is predicted to be released as I heard that less silicon on smaller chip meant smaller cost and therefore a price drop; I heard the drop wouldn't be until early '07, can anyone confirm?

Sony

Sony started out well with the 'station,
But their ranting just caused irritation,
They say its the answer,
and it will cure cancer,
But Heck it ain't out by vacation

Microsoft

Bill thought that he needed more bling,
So his console was first in the ring,
It soon overheated,
Left fanboys deflated,
and (Insert Generic Xbox Ending)

Nintendo

Nintendo went outside the box,
because they're a sneaky sly fox,
The others weren't happy,
They're consoles looked crappy,
but Sony ripping them off was a shock,

"Boo! Get off the Stage"

@ AoE - Half-Life 2 (until the lawsuit), F.E.A.R?

Game looks quality, Bioware normally turn out excellent products so I suspect (hope) this should be no different. From what I've read, the main character is adjustable so you don't have to have shaved action-movie man, there will probably be a create your own (maybe even a selction of voices but that would be pushing it I think) and I've also read that the game can be played like KOTOR, by entering some sort of semi-paused planning system. The voice system does look good as for all this real-time conversation has it not been around for years (Planescape: Torment had it did it not). Anyways looks good hope I have a 360 by its release.

Euorgamer has a similar article that says it supports 16 players and Capcom are pushing for 32. Presumably 4v4 isn't the only team mode; or perhaps its the only one they have perfected (lag and all that).

Not sure on the PS3 thing, OPM did a story on it claiming it was coming out for the PS3, but then again they also did a story claiming that the PS3 would be the same price as a 360, also managed to pick this off of another board.

"Someone emailed 2k about it, and they said 360/PC only (none of that "we haven't made any announcements yet" crap) so it's safe to bet OPM is (yet again) full of crap."

Obviously 'someone' isn't exactly concrete either but even still I'm sure you would all like to know.
