Xbox 360 price cut coming soon?

There have been some rumours making the rounds in which it has been said that Microsoft is said to be dropping the price of the Premium bundle.

Basically, an anonymous Microsoft employee has indicated that the price of the Premium 360 will be dropped by $49 on the same day that GTAIV gets released. This would be a smart move for Microsoft as we know millions upon millions of people love the GTA series. Now if you are still a PS2 or Xbox owner sitting on the fence waiting for this game to be released, then it would be a good time to invest in a next gen system.

Setup of the week Xbox 1 edition

This weeks edition contains the much-loved Xbox 1, the slightly less handsome older brother of the 360. I personally have a Xbox 1 running the popular Xbox Media Center and it has served me well over the years, providing far more functionality than the media center capabilities of the 360 (it’s on the bottom right). Enjoy!

4) Rainbow Six Vegas
5) Call of Duty 3

Xbox 360 December 2007 (Fall 07) dashboard update impressions round-up

Since there are a number of sites reporting on the December 2007 update with their impressions, I thought I’d do a round-up and summary.

Gizmodo says most video files play, dosen’t like the video streching functionality, however they are very positive overall.ilmmarketplace200712.jpg

The official Xbox site covers a few of the highlights of the new update (worth a read if you don’t want to sift through the entire list of updates).

The Xbox Domain has a quick rundown of the update, they are concerned about the friends privacy functionality, but are overall impressed with the added features.

A very long thread (12 pages so far) discussing the update over at Xbox Scene.

Also from Xbox Scene, silver Live members now have to wait a week for certain content downloads, whereas gold Live members get access immediately. It’s weird how Microsoft never mentions these things. Lazygamer has a good synopsis of the changes, I think this change will alienate a large number of Silver Live users.
