I'm going to go for the PS3 version of Sonic Adventure. My PS3 has far more storage space than my 360 and I want to build a HD DC collection so hopefully the speculation of a 16 Sept release are correct.

However, I'm well up for Comic Jumper and finally having a release date for Hydrophobia is pure AMAZE. For me, this is a better line up than the Summer Arcade one.

October 6: Comic Jumper, 1200 Microsoft Points

This is meant to be 800 points iirc. Wouldn't be the first time Nelson made a mistake though...

The official PR says 1200, confirms a price of 1200 for Super Meat Boy too.

[Jimmyboi]

Anybody have an inkling as to what the Resident Evil content is?

Puzzle Chronicles, 400 Microsoft Points - looks good, enjoying 2 on the DS.

[ChrisF]

Did someone say Shadow of the Beast is coming to XBLA?

[Spatial]

Where did you hear that? First I've heard of it, but would be nice if that got a HD remake.

[ChrisF]

Hehe, no where. Just made it up Be nice though...

Although, seriously, wasn't Super Cars 2 on the way at one point? Or was that more NTSC-UK gossip?

Hang on, whatever happened to Turrican as well?

[Spatial]

Why you...!

*shakes fist*

I've certainly commented that I'd love to see it . How about Rock n Roll Racing too?

[ChrisF]

Yes, definitely Rock n Roll racing. Tarquin, Olaf etc... hehe. They could update the music as well.

[Malc]

Wasn't Sonic Adventure meant to be out today on XBLA? Or is it next week/not at all?

[Spatial]

Next week for 800, along with Space Invaders Infinity Gene.

[ChrisF]

Dance Your Tits Off, You Freak is up for 800 pts...

Plants vs Zombies is up later. 1200 pts.

[Daragon]

Is Sonic Adventure going to optimized for next gen or is it just going to be another shoddy port? I really wanted to get into the director's cut on the GC but I couldn't see past all the bugs sadly.
