Those of us in the United States have been experiencing OnLive for a long time. We’ve watched it grow from its bare bones beginnings to the service that is on the verge of being on many major electronic devices. Starting on September 22, OnLive will be crossing the pond and entering the United Kingdom.

Morning everyone! If you weren’t able to get up early and watch GameSpot’s live stream of Nintendo’s 3DS, then you’re in luck. You can find out everything important that happened at today’s 3DS event here, right now! Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime took to the stage in New York today to tell everyone everything they need to know about the company’s newest handheld.

First, let’s tackle the most important thing that everyone wants to know – the 3DS will be out March 27, 2011 for $249.99 in North America. It’s the same price that the PSPgo was when it launched. Nintendo has also stated that around 30 games should be released between March 27 and E3 2011 on June 7, 2011…

The 3DS is revving up for its Japan release that will happen over a month from now. Nintendo is holding a Nintendo World event in Japan where brand new details about the 3DS are being revealed. A lot of the details such as system specs and price were announced long ago, but now we know for a fact which games will accompany the handheld on its February 26, 2011 launch date.

The 3DS is the next revolutionary handheld from Nintendo. Its glasses-free 3D screen is not only new for gaming, but for electronic devices in general. The 3DS will be the first completely new Nintendo handheld since the release of the original DS back in 2004. Nintendo has been coming out with different designs for the DS ever since, but the games have always been the same. When the 3DS comes out in 2011, Nintendo will not cease making DS games, at least not immediately.

It’s T-minus three days before the really highly anticipated launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops. This game is expected to sell millions of copies within the first week of its release. Part of the strategy to get high sells from a retail standpoint is to let customers buy the game as soon as possible. Excitement is building and GameStop will be there the second people are ready to pop. 4,408 GameStop stores around the country will be staying open extra hours to accommodate the release of Black Ops.

Today is the eve of Kinect’s launch. Lots of stores will be having midnight launches for the new device. Given the intense marketing Microsoft has been putting behind Kinect, we can expect long lines at stores around the country. New York’s Time Square is probably going to have the most customers lining up for Kinect. It’s pretty chilly out there today, so Microsoft will be on hand to warm you up with free merchandise.

The art site, gallery and sometimes book, i am 8-bit, has teamed up with Nintendo for a midnight launch of the Nintendo DSi. The free party will start 9 P.M., April 4, 2009, ending at midnight (April 5, 2009) and will take place at the Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles, CA (USA).

According to i am 8-bit’s press release, not only will much fun be had by all who are standing in line to get the new handheld but artistic prizes will handed out as well.

MMMM mmmm! Nothing says rock and roll down south like a bucket of fried chicken! Kentucky Fried Chicken y’all!

KFC and Guitar Hero World Tour. I guess its a play on words – finger licking good chicken and fingers licking chords of the guitar. From now until November 24, 2008, KFC has teamed up with Guitar Hero World Tour and partnered with Dave Barley, a top Guitar Hero player, for a KFC Rocks contest. With the recent launch of the newest Guitar Hero game, the contest allows players and non-players alike a chance to earn some cool prizes like a year’s supply of KFC chicken, fully loaded box meals and…

Certain Best Buy stores across the United States are going to be holding midnight launch parties for the PC/PS3/Xbox 360 game Fallout 3 on October 27, 2008. Only a few select locations in certain states will be participating in this event though, and the Rockville, Maryland store would really be the one to visit. The development team behind Fallout 3 will be at that Best Buy, to talk to fans, autograph things, talk with DC 101 FM and help with the contests and giveaways.

The 12 stores which will actually be open at midnight on October 28, 2008 to sell and celebrate Fallout 3‘s release are as follows…

I just received a message from Gaia online today that asked a strange question: “Hi Lucy, What do Neopets, MapleStory and Habbo all have in common?”

Out of curiosity I logged into my Gaia Online account to see what Kate Pietrelli, an account manager for TriplePoint (Gaia’s PR agency), is typing about and, sure enough, along the top of the page is the option to send an instant message my fellow Gaians…
