Fact or Fiction?

By Alex Gordon

Some recently emerged rumors regarding the Xbox 360. Not necessarily true but not necessarily false…

Rumor 1: Sometime around November 2006, MS is launching a complete
media service on the marketplace. This will range from 99 cent
songs, to 3.99 streaming movies.

Rumor 2: At next E3, MS will announce a partnership with Blizzard that
will bring World of Warcraft exclusively to 360. The deal is
done, and Blizzard is working on porting the game and a console
control scheme. This game will also include a unannounced
expansion that the PC gamers will have to wait about a month to get
after we get this game. Only 360 gamers will be on specific 360
servers, the game will include voice chat, and
it wouldn't work with PC gamers.

Rumor 3: Halo 3 will be released in Quarter 4 of 2006.

Rumor 4: There will be over 50 Sega Dreamcast games on the Xbox Live Arcade
within 2 years, launched a handful at a time. Every Dreamcast game released on 360 will be priced at around 10 dollars.

Rumor 5: Bonk’s Adventure is coming to Xbox Live Arcade September 2006.
