News For The Week of March 2nd

Well, news just snuck up on me this week. Didn't even see it coming.

• Bioshock is coming out August 21. Nice long days in August. Yes sir, if it's the spiritual successor to System Shock like they claim it is, I will be liking those long, light filled days.
  

• Ten's of PS3 owners are to become 'very happy' next week at Game Developers Conference, so says the director of the GDC. I don't want to know how Sony intends to make them happy, but I'm sure they will do their best.

• Speaking of Sony... They're going to have fixed the PS3 shortages by May. It's not like you can't find them in stores now anyway, perhaps they will spill out into the streets, begging to be taken home like a lost puppy. But it'll have a blu-ray drive, which puppies do not come with.

• Insider secrets... well, secrets from a guy that used to sell you video games anyway. Just nine of them, and they should very well be things you already knew... But if you don't know some of them, it's worth the read.
