The Daily Hotness: Rumor monger

So the new Sony PS3 ads are actually funny. Even better, Destructoid made a little cameo appearance in one of the ads. Awesome! Also, the blogger guy is wearing the Three Moons Keyboard Cat shirt. EVEN MORE AWESOME!

We reviewed Batman: Arkham Asylum, Samit checked out Rock Band Network, we’re giving away an awesome Alienware laptop, the Xbox 360 Elite price drop is confirmed, the Engineer class in Halo 3: ODST was revealed and plenty more happened on 08/27/08.
