UFC 141 For Free On The Xbox

Now I haven't had a chance to look at this for myself yet, but supposedly the new UFC app for the Xbox 360 is ready, and as a treat, they're letting Xbox owners get the Pay-Per-View for free. All you have to do is make all the necessary moves to buy the PPV and you should find that the price for it has been set to "free"! It may take a few days for them to update the app but with any luck we'll be seeing free knockouts soon!

You can't really put a price on a free fight... Because it's free!

Battlefield 3 Was Apparently The 5th "Fastest Rising" Google Search Of 2011

This is kind of a weird statistic, but I thought it was kinda cool. Between 2010 and 2011, Google searches for "Battlefield 3" and "BF3" rose by 1,773%, making it to fifth on the list, ahead of iPhone 5, Adele and Steve Jobs. Not too shabby for a video game!

Battlefield 3 better than Adele - Confirmed!
