Don’t mind the mess – We’re getting ready to move
Don’t mind the mess (or extremely old posts) – We’re just preparing to jump servers and as such are moving all of our old blogs over to WordPress format. If you’re currently looking for NYLatenite’s Gamer’s Paradise – (also known as nylatenite.com) – we’re still over at www.nylatenite.com. Thanks!
About
Here’s what you need to know about this wonderful little site that I call home…
This site is entirely based on the personal opinions of the editorial staff, internet reports, conjecture, rumors, and blatant idiocy. In no way should any report, news item, picture or description on this site ever be taken as 100 percent factual. To put it simply, if you think the 10 minutes of research I may do into a specific subject is enough for you to take something as reported at face value, you need to get your head examined.
As implied by the statement above, information on this website can, and probably will, contain numerous inaccuracies and as such should never be used to make any kind of an informed decision on a subject. Seriously. The nature of news on the internet and the business of reporting on rumors, ommissions and, let’s call it what it is, wild-ass guessing should never be mistaken as 100 percent accurate. While all attempts are made to report things as accurately as we can, things are always going to get missed or misunderstood in the shuffle.
In short, take everything on this site as what it is – news being reported by someone who is a fan of the video game industry, but who has no connections to the game industry or related businesses.
If you’ve seen something you feel is inaccurate or misinterperated, feel free to drop us a line at nylatenite@yahoo.com to let us know the truth of the matter. Thank you.
XBOX 360 PRICE DROP COMING?
It may have taken over a year and a half, but it appears as if Microsoft is finally ready to lower the price of the Xbox 360. According to CheapAssGamer, flyers obtained for the week of August 12th from both Walmart and Toys R Us are showing a $50 price drop on the Xbox 360 premium model.
While a price drop has been rumored for some time due to the recent decline in Xbox 360 console sales and the lower costs associated with the upcoming 65nm processor, this is really the first time that we’ve seen any kind of concrete proof that it’s really going to happen. Now we’re left with the questions of whether a $50 drop will be enough to reinvigorate sales of the 360 and if the price drop will be spread across all models of the console, or if it will just be an inventory cleaning solution prior to the roll out of the 65nm processors.
Hopefully Microsoft will clear things up a bit over the course of the coming week. We’ll be sure to let you know of anything we find out about this as soon as possible.

XBOX LIVE BRINGING IT HOME: COMIC-CON 2007 – DAY THREE
Day three of the Bringing it Home: Comic-Con 2007 promotion has now passed and it looks like there’s been a ton of video content added to the Live Marketplace since our last report. Looking at the below list, I think I can safely say that there’s just not enough time in the day to check out everything I’d like to watch – I guess I’ll start with the Babylon 5 and Blade Runner stuff and go from there.

THIS WEEK’S RELEASES: JULY 30TH – AUGUST 5TH
What a weekend – take the the frequent power outages initially caused by severe weather and later caused by what I can only assume was the general incompetence of my local power authority, along with the constant ISP issues I’ve been having of late, and I was starting to wonder if I was ever going to get this post ready for today. Admittedly, looking at this week’s release list, I really don’t think it would have been that much of a shame if I hadn’t have posted anything – yes, the cupboard is looking pretty bare.
The only title even remotely worth talking about this week is Mario Strikers Charged for the Wii. Yes, Nintendo once again looks to make it’s magic by injecting it’s popular characters into a sports game – and since they generally to a pretty good job of it every time, this one will most likely please the Nintendo faithful.
As for the rest, once again it’s looking like a good week to catch up on games you’ve been meaning to play while putting some cash aside for the fall blockbuster rush.
