We've finally got a new "Zany Promotion of the Day"! In a follow up to their idiot "My Name Is Turok" contest, the marketing gurus over at Acclaim have announced that a "lucky" couple who has their child on Labor Day will be given $10,000 to name their child Turok for one year. The cash will go to the first couple to contact the company, but they must have proof of the child's birthdate. All hail Acclaim, masters of marketing. Ugh.

In good news, Sony and Microsoft have annoucned price-cuts for their respective systems in Europe and the UK. In the United Kingdom, the PS2 will will fall to 169.99 pounds (about $261 US) while the X-Box will be slightly cheaper at 159 pounds ($259). In the rest of Europe the X-Box will sell for 249 Euros (around $244 US), with the PS2 going between 249 and 259 Euros ($244-$254)
