SPlinter Cell: Conviction Demo Coming out to Xbox Live on 18th
It's a bit hard to believe the long-delayed Splinter Cell: Conviction will actually be out soon. If you needed something tangible as proof, you could always try the Xbox Live demo of the game, due out this week.
It'll be released on March 18, which is this Thursday. Two levels from the game are playable, though they're not successive sequences, the action skipping around in order to avoid any potential plot spoilers.
The game itself will be released on April 13, for the PC and Xbox 360

Microsoft Folk gives thier reason and strategy about Lack of BluRay Drive in Xbox 360
Blu-ray was named the victor of the media storage war some time ago, with some folks going as far as saying lack of a Blu-ray drive will hurt the Xbox 360 in the long run. Games are getting larger and now we're seeing more 360 games span multiple disks. Still, Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg says when costs are involved, lack of a Blu-ray drive is a move in Microsoft's favor.
“We’ve just taken a different strategy. Sony bet on the physical disc, and there are costs associated with that,” said Greenberg in an interview with Edge. “The fact that we’re able to offer a console starting at $199 is a benefit of not being burdened with that cost. Being $100 cheaper is part of the reason why we’re nearly twice their installed base.”
Part of this strategy involves focus on digital distribution, he said.
“For us, our bet was on digital distribution, that that was the future – the ability to do 1080p movies with no disc, no download required; we have the largest movie and TV library, the largest HD library of any console,” Greenberg continues. “Sure, there are trade-offs, but the convenience of pushing a button and watching a movie instantly is, we think, pretty appealing. The great thing is that we built the heart of the Xbox 360 for continuous innovation. We can always add more features and functionality, and you don’t have to buy new hardware to do that. You can do it through software updates. So someone who buys a 360 today can know that one, two, or three years from now they will get a whole variety of new experiences that make it better through Xbox Live. That sort of thing has never existed before in our industry.”

BattleField: Bad Company 2 sold over 2.3M units
The Lost Gamer writes "Electronic Arts have today announced that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has sold over 2.3M units according to their own internal figures and is set to become the best-selling March release on record in North America and Europe."
'NO STOCK' Boards replacing the PS3 in Store Shelves
Popular retailers such as Amazon.com and Bestbuy are showing both the 120gb version and the 250gb version as sold out, while consumers are reporting that the console is sold out in store too with Best Buy, WallMart and Gamestop all out of stock
This is obviously not an ideal scenario for Sony, who launched God of War III in America on Tuesday, however they will be pleased that the console finally seems to becoming a must have item in the US.
Furthermore, it seems that the UK is also starting to feel the pinch, with Game and Gameplay showing no stock and Argos also running out online. Other UK online stores such as Play.com still have some stock at the moment, but with the UK’s largest videogame retailer running out you have to wonder how long the others stock will last.

It would seem that celebrated design director of Epic Games, Cliff Bleszinski, has been dreaming the future of Microsoft’s upcoming Project Natal device set to release later this year for Xbox 360.
In a tweet last night, he says “I’m imagining what “Heavy Rain” would be like with Natal style controls. #couldbehuge”
don't know about the coming pics reliability...
