So this is going to be the 1st time where Nintendo has not only been the first to fire a shot, but possibly firing a shot over a year in advance of anyone else.

New NeoGeo X handheld console confirmed

"MCV understands the console will be released in limited edition form and could be priced up to £500."

WTF? That's $785.25 USD!

"Blaze’s Jason Cooper said: 'The NeoGeo console has always been a personal favourite of mine and I am delighted to be involved with the development of this new handheld console. We hope to re-ignite the excitement many of us felt 21 years ago, in a more affordable manner, to a much wider audience.'"

It's a limited edition thing aimed at enthusiasts, though so that's not too surprising.

So Jeff was fired cause new management got calls from Sony how threatened to pull ad support after the Ratchet Future review. Jeff told the new group that is what happens, they need to stick to their opinion and deal with it. Then the Kain and Lynch review cause that publisher to do the same, management felt like the review crew was out of control and they fired Jeff.

Heh, that's pretty much what I figured.

I always thought Gerstmann was a douchebag and seemed to constantly be way off in his review opinions. I mean he was always either 10 points too negative or 10 points too positive. I didn't care about him losing his EIC job personally because I don't think he should have had it in the 1st place. Just because you work somewhere forever doesn't mean you actually do a good job, or a good enough job to be the boss.

How is that possible on a 10 point scale?

I mean if he gave a game a 7.2 it probably should have either been a 6.2 or an 8.2 rating...literally almost every game he ever reviewed was like this.
