Conviction not hitting PS3 due to 'link of heart' screenshot

Don’t count on a PlayStation 3 port of Splinter Cell Conviction. As Ubisoft tells it, Microsoft and Sam Fisher have a beautiful relationship built upon the solid foundations of a shared history. Fisher isn’t looking for love elsewhere: he’s getting all that he requires from the Xbox 360. (Also, it’s easier to develop for just one platform.)

Unnamed developers recently answered fan questions on the official Splinter Cell Conviction message boards. In response to one about the possibilities of PS3 port, Ubisoft explained the title’s Xbox 360 exclusivity as a ‘link of heart,’ successfully ending speculation that Conviction could hit another platform.

Fallout 3 'Point Lookout' DLC available now at GameStop screenshot

Time does fly. Bethesda’s next batch of Fallout 3 downloadable content, “Point Lookout,” will be available for download via Xbox LIVE Marketplace June 23. We thought the retail boxed version of the downloadable content would be, too. But it’s not; GameStop is selling it now.

Kotaku is reporting that the retailer is currently selling the Xbox 360 boxed version of the DLC to customers. The download code in the package can be redeemed right now and apparently people are enjoying “Point Lookout” a few days early.

So if you’re ready to take the Fallout 3 plunge again, get to a GameStop.

We’re told “Point Lookout” will be a large deal. It will have its own wasteland that players can explore. But don’t think traditional wasteland: Point Lookout Park is a swamp. It hasn’t been nuked.

Are you guys planning to wait or is this a “I need to leave my house now” situation?
