new look website (rare.co.uk)

i prefered old one was faster loading and not flash.

this states that ms paid $375,000,000 for Rare.

also the press release says-

"The last time I was this excited was the first time I picked up a controller and played a game from Rare," said Ed Fries, vice president of Xbox Game Content at Microsoft. "As a gamer, you could hardly wait until Rare's next title was announced. You didn't know what genre it would be, but it didn't matter because you knew you were going to love it."

well he was playing on a nintendo console then ;)

Has anyone else noticed the little dig at Nintendo in Rare's announcement ?
Chris Stamper: "Our mission at Rare has always been to make the industry's best games for the widest possible audience. Teaming with Microsoft gives us the best opportunity to accomplish this goal."

Sounds like a dig at Nintendo's well known image.
