Morning tidbits  by Shane L at 08:54

Command & Conquer 3?

Rumours are circulating on a possible 3rd instalment of the popular Command and Conquer series, while it just looks like heresay for now, I for one loved the original CnC and would gladly welcome a 3rd instalment.

Think you have a fast connection?

Well read this little bit of info

"The Sprint/SUNET team in April sent nearly 840 gigabytes of data from a PC in San Jose, California to associates at another computer at the University of Lulea in northern Sweden in under 27 minutes. The data travelled some 10,000 miles, or nearly halfway around the globe, using the SprintLink Internet backbone and the GigaSUNET IP system at 4.23 Gigabits per second (Gbps)."

Source this way

Quake's Birthday

Quake, the original fps, the daddy that could probably lay claim to one of or if not the most played game ever is 8 years old today, has it really been that long? I wonder what we will all be playing in 8 years time and what spec systems we are using.

PS3 Price?

News is also filtering through on how much a Playstation 3 will set you back, how about $500 or around about the £300 mark, bit steep considering but then again these things change when we get closer to a release date.

Consoles always cost a lot for the 1st 6 months to a year after release.

Bluesnews reports that the cnc news, which started from a photo found a few days ago, was concept art from last year. So while it seems nothing will happen soon, cnc3 is certainly on their minds over a westwood.
