XBOX 360 HD-DVD DRIVE NOW $49.99 NEW AT AMAZON
Well, I was planning on hitting the sack, but then I made one last stop in at Amazon.com to check on the Xbox 360 HD-DVD player and, as was the rumor this weekend, the drive is being sold (at least at Amazon right now) for $49.99 brand new. While I haven't seen the price drop at other retailers as of yet, I can't imagine Amazon will be the only one.
(Just in case you aren't aware, Toshiba has officially abandoned the format, and Microsoft has announced they are discontinuing the drive. You have been warned.)

THIS WEEK’S RELEASES: FEBRUARY 25TH – MARCH 2ND
Unlike last week, there's neither a demo of the game of the week to be played, nor is there a game of the week. Still not feeling 100%, so you're just going to have to deal with both of those facts. So there!
Now let's take a closer look at some of this week's more notable releases;
- Patapon (PSP)
- Think Parappa the Rapper meets Populous and you may have some idea what this one is all about.
- Sega Bass Fishing (WII)
- Arcade fishing at it's finest!
- The Sims 2: Free Time (PC)
- Yet another Sims 2 expansion pack – will the madness ever end?
