Ubisoft has just send us a lengthy press release. The important news are as follows:

1) Splinter Cell Conviction has been delayed to April 2010

2) A new Assassin's Creed will be released this fiscal year and it will have an online multiplayer component. This is Ubisoft's fiscal year that ends on April 2011, so the game or episode may not come out in 2010.

3) Although they projected a profit for this fiscal year, they predict this year will end with an operating loss. According to Ubisoft this is because they overestimated the sales of some titles such as Avatar. In addition they are also blaming the contracting Nintendo DS and Wii market. They say they will now re-focus on the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Although I really like Ubisoft and want to see them do well, I am happy they will refocus on the Xbox 360 and the PS3.  

Activision has announced a standalone DJ Hero Turntable and is available for sale from the Guitar Hero Store. Its current price is $70. The game's multiplayer mode allows two DJ Hero turntables to compete against each other.

In the one hand, the turntable is an impressive piece of hardware. But on the other, in order for two players to play it would require someone to spend $70 on top of the $130 spend on the original bundle. To put it into perspective, consumers can find a 60GB Xbox 360 for about $200 these days as well.

Microsoft has announced and released a special Halo 250GB Xbox 360 bundle that is exclusive for Canada. The price of the bundle is $399 CDN and includes the 250GB Xbox 360 console, two black wireless controllers, a black headset and a copy of Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST.

The original holiday bundle that includes Pure and Batman and comes with 120GB hard disk currently costs $300. For the extra hundred dollars you are getting an additional 130GB hard disk space, an extra controller and two Halo games instead. But considering Halo ODST consists of the Halo 3 multiplayer, you are only getting 1.5 games instead of 2. But still we are always happy to have more bundles and more options.  

Check out our review of Halo 3: ODST here.
