So what say you, Sam Lake?

Disney: Epic Mickey could eventually end up on Xbox 360 or PS3
When we think of the future, we see jetpacks, embarassingly tight-fitting spandex unitards, and that awesome hoverboard scene from Back to the Future.

Turns out, though, that Jaffe regrets it too – just not for the reasons you might expect.

PoP: The Forgotten Sands hits 360 and PS3 same day as Wii
Yesterday, when Ubisoft announced details for the Wii version of Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, it was revealed that the title would land on the Nintendo system May 18 and 20 in the US and Europe, respectively.
We were sure this meant the PS3 and Xbox 360 version would hit the same day as well, but we asked Ubisoft just to be sure.
