Microsoft Responds to new XBox Slim Faults. Badly.

Jun 28, 2010

I bought a brand new 250GB Xbox 360 about four and a half minutes before Microsoft announced the new slim model. Yes, I was pissed, but at least it now looks like those of who smart enough to wait aren’t any less likely than I am to get a RRoD. Or the equivalent thereof, anyhow.

Farewell Xbox 360 Memory Unit and 120 Gb Harddrive

Apr 3, 2010

Microsoft recently confirmed that both the 120 Gb hard drive and the memory unit for the 360 are being phased out. However, from the recent 120 gig price drop, and today’s announcement of USB support for the 360, it was inevitable. This leaves the 250 Gb hard drive for the 360 as a primary option for now. But if you’re too low on cash to purchase the...

Well if Nintendo can do it…

Mar 19, 2010

Sony Computer Entertainment has done a little bit of, “Hmm I like the look of that, I’mma try it!” and has produced a new controller and sub controller.
