Our friends at EB started taking preorders for the XBOX360 this morning. Quantities are going to be very limited and only $20 will get yours reserved (assuming you get there soon enough). I highly suggest anyone interested in a launch console getting there today to preorder. As always, the Huebner Oaks store is where it is at.

So I have been a bit of a ghost around here this week and part of last week and I apologize for that. I mentioned the other day that we were working on a new project and we are ready to announce what that is. Snackbar is going Hollywood. Well, not really, but we are launching a movie based sister site called Movie Thunder. The launch is just around the corner and I wanted to make you aware of what we were up to.
Happy belated birthday to everyone’s favorite yellow bad ass. Pac Man celebrates his 25th birthday as one of gaming’s most well known icons. Before plumbers, hedgehogs, innovative dual wielding cyborgs, there was the yellow mouth. Happy Birthday Mr. Pacman!

I expect everyone has seen the leaked pictures from the Xbox special set to air this Thursday. Do you like the new sleek look of the Xbox 360? I personally think it is a page out of the Sony handbook under the section Sleek & Sexy Design. After giving it much thought, I can’t see a single complaint with the physical design of the new Xbox. I wonder how the PS3 and the Revolution will fare in this departement.
For those of you that haven’t seen the pictures then you can check them out at [url=http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/05/09/screens_6123886.html?page=1]Gamespot[/url].
I apologize for my brief absense and lack of contest drawings this week. I have been hard at work on the next Snackbar Games project. What exactly that is going to be shall remain under wraps (well almost) for a few more days. With that out of the way I have gone ahead and drawn the next 2 winners for Cold Fear. They are as follows:

Emails are going out now to contact the winners. Congrats guys.
