Disney Looks to Online Gaming

The Disney Corporation has recently purchased online game developer Playdom Inc. The deal that is wroth nearly 763 million dollars will allow Disney to make the move into online gaming. The online game realm will be new to Disney, but they are looking to expand their brand name. Playdom, of course, is not a huge name in online games, but with Disney's backing it could become bigger. Only time will tell if Disney is making the right move to work with online gaming, but if they try to market some of the bigger name titles that they have it could be a success.

Halo Reach Bundle Revealed, Priced, and Dated

In a move that has basically been a constant, release a Halo, release a Halo 360 bundle, it comes as no surprise that Reach will get the same treatment. However this time it seems like they are raising the bar. Now only do you get the Reach themed new XBOX 360, the game, and 2 wireless controllers, but from my understanding this XBOX will make noises straight out of the Halo sound library, for that extra little something. I have to say that this seems like one hell of a deal, and having it priced at $399, isn't bad either. It will be available September 14th. So if you need the newest and shiniest toy, here's your chance, go pre-order this bad boy, and wow everyone in September.

Well it looks like come October all the people who want to have Netflix on their PS3 will only have to download an application instead of having to wait for the disc to arrive in the mail. This means a quicker move to gaining access to the streaming content.
