All UK copies of the upcoming 360 release Crackdown will contain a Halo 3 Beta invite, Microsoft has confirmed to CVG.

Crackdown is due for release on February 23 and each copy will give you details on how to jump on the Halo 3 Beta bandwagon. Obviously once Halo 3 ships or the Beta closes, invites would be redundant. To counter this, Microsoft will slap a sticker on every Crackdown box with info on the enclosed Beta.

That's that then. Crackdown could be on to sell a billion.

Fill your boots. Every little helps.

The recently released Ghostbusters movies from an early-in-development Xbox 360 game have been pulled off the web at the request of Sony Pictures Entertainment.

All references to the game have also bee removed from ZootFly's website. When trying to track down the videos, YouTube greets you with, "This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner Sony Pictures Entertainment because its content was used without permission." Whoops...

CVG contacted the developer and was told that the videos were indeed removed at the request of Sony Pictures and all references to the game have been removed from its website while negotiations over the rights continue behind closed doors. Fingers crossed Sony doesn't pull the plug, it was looking good. ...

The UK can expect to get 300k PS3s at launch on March 23, semi-official blog ThreeSpeech has reported.

"We've been thinking/speculating/joining-the-dots/piecing snippets of info together over how many units the UK is likely to have initially (at day one of retail)," reads the site. "The UK market accounts for approximately 25-30% of European business. We therefore confidently predict that the UK will have around 300,000 units at the outset."

If true then that's a lot more than Xbox 360 and Wii launches. "Sticking with the maths, from figures we have to hand, we think this will amount to more than the combined number of Wii and 360 consoles that were initially shipped," adds the site.

Expect word on other European territories soon. ...
