Wow. Well done Epic. This new update is brilliant and I just dowloaded it this morning. It is exactly what Gears fans asked for. You can get many more kills with the new respawn system and in my opinion the game flows more and is much more addictive. However, it looks like many glitches have been missed. I've already seen people weapon sliding and I've already fallen into the world twice on the Fuel Depot map. These are two small problems in what has been a great update. Keep up the good work Epic.

So just days after the launch of the Playstation 3, microsoft confirm that the Xbox 360 elite package will be launched. First of all, I don't plan to buy this console. I received my 360 for Xmas and I think it is awesome. I see no reason to change it. Theres plenty of hard drive space (and i do download videos) and I don't really need the HDMI port. The only thing I would want is the cool black casing. I'm sure people will buy this new console, but at this price which is basically the same as the PS3, is it really going to convince people to get a 360 over a PS3. I personally think that without the HD DVD built in, sony fans will just use this as an excuse to get a PS3 and in the end it could work against Microsoft.

Hi,

First of all I want to say that I do not want to sound like a fanboy...

So, the PS3 has finally launched in the UK. I hear that the people that queued up for the midnight release got free LCD HDTV's. Is this Sony rewarding the loyalty of its customers or are they trying to get its console some publicity? To be honest, I don't really care because I am completely happy with one console, but I reckon its a mixture of the two. Firstly because you have to be quite loyal to buy it on launch day at its price, but also because of the bad press its been getting lately they have tried to make something out of it. Finally, its good to hear that nobody got attacked for a console.
