FIFA 08 - actually beating Halo 3 in Spain and Germany? + U.S. release date for 40GB PS3!

by

Hey everybody,

FIFA 08

Exciting…and unusual news today! Apparently according to sales charts FIFA 08 has actually beaten Halo 3 for software sales in Germany and Spain! We all know how these countries love sport, and football (soccer) in particular, however seeming as many people in Germany love FPS games, it comes as quite a surprise! ET:QW came as a surprise too, as boy was that buggy..*whistles~*

Here are the full sales charts for the two countries:

Spain

01. FIFA 08 (PS2)
02. Halo 3 (Xbox 360)
03. FIFA 08 (PS3)
04. Halo 3 Limited Edition (Xbox 360)
05. WWE Smackdown VS. Raw Platinum (PS2)
06. MySims (DS)
07. Heavenly Sword (PS3)
08. FIFA 08 (PSP)
09. Halo 3 Legendary Edition (Xbox 360)
10. FIFA 08 (Xbox 360)

Germany

01. FIFA 08 (PS2)
02. FIFA 08 (PC)
03. Halo 3 (Xbox 360)
04. The Settlers - AEK (PC)
05. FIFA 08 (PS3)
06. FIFA 08 (Xbox 360)
07. Halo 3 Limited Edition (Xbox 360)
08. Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (PC)
09. The Sims 2 Bon Voyage (PC)
10. More Brain Training (DS)

Also great news for those in the U.S:

Sony will be launching the 40GB PS3 in the United States bundled with a Spiderman 3 Blu-ray film on November 2nd at $399!

This is great news and bad news as the same time, as the PS3 will not have backwards capabilities, no memory card slots and only 2 USB ports, however this is of course definately a more affordable version for gamers who just want to get a PS3 and start gaming with all those fantastic titles out now. Bundles as a Blu-ray player as well, so wooh!

40GB should also last you for a while, but if not, you could always customise it ;) (Google’s your answer to this!)

Sony’s fantastic Singstar (which I am in dire need of at the moment) also does not have a release date set firm yet! Thought to be released in between July and September, this has passed with no release. There are some suggesting October or November, as Sony is now optimising the online part of Singstar to ensure a rich and impressive Singstar experience. It seems with this Singstar, there will be a large downloadable library of songs, videos, etc to be added on the PSN (PlayStation Network), much like what Gran Turismo will be like (with its large downloadable library of cars instead!)

So that’s it for today! You could always wait for FIFA 08, or Crysis! Or both at the same time! (Here’s a new gaming video released)

Video looks absolutely downright sexy. Even as sexy as when I’m wearing tights singing “I dont wanna keep dancing” after a couple o’ drinks with mah new shiny silver PS3 ;)
