Does music retailer HMV know something that we don't?
This page on HMV UK's web site lists
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots as available for preorder... for the Xbox 360. The release date is listed as September 26th, 2008 and is priced at
£39.99. Sure, this is hardly proof of of an upcoming Xbox 360 version, but the 'I told you so posts' are probably already being drafted. Let me fix that.
This is more than likely a typo. The same site lists the upcoming PS3 exclusive
Haze as available for preorder as well. Sony's Kaz Hirai and Phil Harrison are always pulling fast ones on us, but we think they were serious about the exclusivity of both of these high profile titles.
Oh, and you have to love how Tom Hank's animated atrocity
The Polar Express is listed under
MGS4's 'customers who bought this product also bought...' category. Seriously?
Is HMV just crazy? Is their web guy with messing with us?

*pre-orders*
The Plot thickens...
So that's a bad example to use.
If it stays up for more than 2 weeks, I'm going to call it legit. A lot of games get "announced" via showing up on some retail web site, Beautiful Katamari for one.
Yeah this site looks real trustworthy.
Also: "Number of Discs: 1"

blue dragon... they say it's 1 disc, but it's actually three
http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/simpleSearch.do?searchUID=-2305093915253989232&pGroupID=6&simpleSearchString=unreal+tournament+3&primaryID=6
they also say unreal tournament 3 isn't coming out on the PS3 and that the 360 version is coming out in a month... both points being wrong.
Main webmaster for HMV was quoted as saying "It look like a lepracan ta me!"
Time for me to leave some more cryptic hit-and-run comments on Kotaku. Muahaha...
Methinks this is some kind of last-day prank by one of their IT guys.
What happens, when it doesn't come out, to all of the preorders? I hate when people lie on teh internets... I hope whoever is responsible for this is anally violated by that carrot.
If it turns out to be true, then I take it back. He can be anally pleasured by that carrot.
