Celebrating its 10th anniversary last weekend was the Tokyo Game Show, held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. Unlike the ‘press only’ E3 Expo, two of the three days here open the doors to the public, meaning the wait to play some games like Blue Dragon on the Xbox 360 for example, was nearly 3 hours! Before looking at those though, and with Nintendo not having a booth, the next gen hardware wars were raging here between the PS3 and the Xbox 360. First for Microsoft’s entry, the HD-DVD drive was announced to launch on Nov 22nd for 19,800 yen (about US$ 170). Also revealed was that the console will receive a software upgrade to support 1080p (although there’s still no HDMI port), and the core package now includes PGR3 and Ninety-Nine Nights free for a limited time.
