Daily Battle – 12/5/08

Well everyone, another week comes to a close and the holiday’s grow ever closer, but let’s take a moment to take a look at the happenings today in the game industry.
First up is a big announcement to everyone out there who is looking to purchase a Nintendo DS for a loved one this holiday season. Make sure you check where you are buying it from and if the price looks too good to be true, it probably is because it is confirmed that there are bootleg Nintendo consoles circulating.
Another thing, it was brought to our attention that there is reason to believe that Starcraft 2 could possibly be hitting store shelves sometime in Q1 2009, of course at this point that still remates nothing more than a rumor.
Lastly, it was made known that Blizzard is already in talks of what is going into the next World of Warcraft expansion, great news for WoW-heads as this confirms that there is in fact another expansion on it’s way.
