    so Computer and Video Games is known to post not only rumors, but blatantly false information. they've had their asses nailed to the wall before for things like this, and I'm pretty sure this is simply another case of trying to get hits on their website.

    so yeah. until you see something more official (at least more official than this rag), take this story with a HUGE grain of salt.
