Never ones to miss out on a marketing opportunity/chance to cover their console in something incredibly gaudy, Microsoft have announced that they have joined forces with supermarket ASDA and are releasing the "Jubilee Edition XBox 360" bundle, which includes the XBox 360 console, wireless controller and Kinect, plus Union Jack skins to cover them with.

It's being reported, although is still a rumour (one we'd stake our Sonic suits on) that there is a new Mario & Sonic Olympics game on the way


A look at this weeks charts (to be posted up later - keep an eye on the top of the page) will show you that the first game has done extraordinarily well for Sega, I even saw it being played on Come Dine With Me (I was doing the washing up and couldn't reach the remote, honest).

What's different that it justifies a sequel, this time it'll have a winter theme. Hardly a surprise, Olympic games do tend to come in pairs, and a timely Christmas release will surely make an absolute killing.
