Rumors, rumors, and more rumors

Well as usual before any big gaming convention, the internet is ablaze with rumors. All of them we have to wait for E3 for conformation.

-Amazon has posted a tentative release date for Star Wars Battlefront III for March 2009. The funny part about it is that there is no sign of a PC version of the game, seeing as the game started on the PC, a completely lack of PC support for the third is quite odd. But with Lucas' recent layoffs, its not a huge surprise.

-A photo of Wal-Mart's inventory has also been leaked onto the internet, suggesting that the 40GB PS3 will be replaced by a new model. No word on what this model will include, but hopefully partial backwards compatibility will be part of that.

-Rumors of a PS3 gun (similar to the one from Time Crisis 4, but better) have also popped up, but this seems more like a dream than anything

-After the release of Wii Fit, announcements and rumors from Nintendo disappeared. However, the Official Nintendo Magazine has essentially confirmed Animal Crossing for the Wii will be announced next Tuesday at Nintendo's press conference. I have no idea what the point of this game is, but it seems popular. So yay fans of Animal Crossing

I'm sure there will be more rumors as the week goes on. I will post any I see.
