http://www.polygon.com/2013/7/26/4560088/monopoly-empire-xbox-ea With the Monopoly Empire game, you can own some of the biggest brands in the world," the game's description reads. "Every space on the board is an iconic brand, including Xbox, Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Samsung! Splash your Monopoly cash to build your Empire tower as high as it can go. You'll need to make tough decisions and smart moves to take down the competition and be the first to reach the top. Hit the big time and own the world's top brands with the Monopoly Empire game!"

It seems it also has a space on the board as well. I must say, to be branded as an important ICON is amazing. i had no idea Xbox was that big. :cool:

I'm still pissed that they changed the color of the money. They changed the $10 bill to blue and the $50 to purple. It's a travesty!

No, your piece overheats and melts and you have to choose a new piece instead.

That's a rumor that has not been confirmed. There's also a rumor that it will be a Prison, where you could do time and have your properties giving away, where 3 turns is equal to 5 years.

Sony is actually in the game on the board. They took the place of the low life junk property, Marvin Gardens.

Sony needs all the advertising they can get. You know, to make more money and not have your company suck.
