To prepare for the future of iONvideogames, we’ve moved servers! >^_^<
You may come across bad links or broken images, don’t worry, we’re working on fixing all of that, it just may take a while.
Also, we’ll be working on sprucing up the layout over the coming weeks, so expect some odd things to randomly pop-up on the site, and possibly some weird glitches.

Testing this right now. Going to be awesome, oh yeah.
Yep… looks like we’re going to give this a try once again! I’ll update when I have more information.

Just a quick update concerning iONvideogames and where it’s been and what is going to happen to it.
Real life has basically taken over every one on the staff, myself included, to the point that when we do have spare time the last thing we want to do is write about video games. We’d obviously rather be playing them! Actually, over the past couple of months, I’ve been so busy with work and other things that I really haven’t played many games, and even botched up a very important project I was working on for a friend of 6+ years. Hope he can find it in him to forgive me for my long absence!
Anyways, as to if the site will come back, I have no idea. It depends on if one of the current staff members wants to get on stage and show what he can do. Will he do it, no idea, I’ve yet to ask. If he does, things will pick up here a lot, otherwise the site will remain pretty-much dead. A shadow of it’s former self.
Owner-EIC,
Carl A. Rhoades
Yes, you read that correctly!
Buy.com currently has an Connect3D 2GB Secure Digital Card available for $0.00 after a $50 mail-in rebate. Sure, you have to pay $50 up-front but, if my past experience is any indication, you’ll have your rebate back in about a month. All you Wii owners trying to find a good price on an SD Card can rejoice! Click the link below for the product page:

Edit: Notice I did not say free anywhere above ^_^
Not that none of you have anything better to do than to read a holiday blurb from myself, I nonetheless felt compelled to wish you all happy holidays and safety as you travel, be it around town or abroad.
I personally am thankful for the long-standing partnership and (more importantly) friendship I have with Carl Rhoades, and I feel confident in expressing on both our parts that we are very much looking forward to 2007 for what it will bring you, our respective audiences, and ourselves as we press forward with some very bright ambitions. We’re frankly having a tough time being patient and not spilling our guts now as to precisely what all of that means, but it will be well worth the wait.
Thank you all for your continued support of iONvideogames and its mastermind, Carl Rhoades, and I’m very excited to now be directly involved in its day-to-day operations. Merry Christmas.
Out of Tokyo, Sony Corporation implicitly stated today that it has no plans to alter either targets for its PlayStation 3 video game console or its margins on the bottom line, in spite of recalls of laptop battery recalls and numerous setbacks on the PlayStation 3 production line.
“It is true that it took us some time to bring the PS3 to mass production as blue laser availability worked as a bottleneck,” Sony President Ryoji Chubachi told a media round table.
Referring to the company’s plans for end of the year and end of March 2007 shipments for the PlayStation 3, however, Chubachi said, “…2 million and 6 million are within our reach.”
Nevertheless, analysts commenting to the Associated Press persist in their skepticism that Sony will perhaps be unable to maintain production in the manner they deem necessary for the company to meet its fiscal goals. Sony has admitted that the PlayStation 3 is its most important fiscal and strategic product for 2007, hence the continued scrutiny into even the least hitch in the gameplan.
Regardless of the seemingly renewed optimism and persistence on Sony’s part, the company’s shares inched up 1.8 percent at the news, adding to the fears of analysts and investors alike concerning the ability of Sony Corporation to deliver upon its promises.
Reporting from London, Reuters has quoted several bigwigs involved in England’s soccer leagues, including the head coach of the nation’s World Cup team, as stating that among other things (such as big money drawing players elsewhere) that video games are one of the primary reasons as to why they are no longer cranking out droves of top-tier soccer players.
One official indicated that in Brazil soccer is a religion, that it is a way of life, and that those who play aspire to be the best and are not as distracted.
The moral of the story is, video games will keep you from maximizing your potential. At least, that’s what we are being told to believe.
