**I originally posted this at the GamePro.com forums...hopefully, this news will spread like a wildfire :P**
According to the official American website of the company, Star Fox Adventures (and everything else) has been erased off of the website.
Another error? I don't think so.
Also, all the Rare sites are reporting that Microsoft will buyout Rare:
-----
One respected source, who wishes to remain anonymous, has confirmed to Raretopia that Rare is indeed to be bought by Microsoft and estimated the value of the company to be around E250 million. Allegedly, the deal has already been signed and the only thing that could stop it is if Nintendo takes up its option to buy Rare at the offered price instead of Microsoft. However, this seems very unlikely as it could have bought Rare years ago for a lower price but declined. Moreover, we were informed that a full buy-out of Rare will take place, meaning that all of its shares are to be sold to Microsoft.
