It's interesting how Microsoft's Xbox Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer Yusuf Mehdi tried to defend the licensing policy for XBox one... "This is a big change, consumers don't always love change, and there's a lot of education we have to provide to make sure that people understand." He even...
Polk working with Microsoft to Create Customized Audio Products for Xbox One
Company brings 40 years of sound expertise to the next generation of living room entertainment
Baltimore, MD (June 3, 2013) – Polk today announced it is working with Microsoft to create premium audio products for the...
Microsoft’s senior vice president of Interactive Entertainment Business Yusuf Mehdi has stated that given the broad multimedia focus of Xbox One, there’s no reason why it can’t shift between 400 million and 1 billion consoles in its lifetime. He said the company is also angling for 100 million...
Addressing concerns that the company isn’t taking games too seriously with the upcoming Xbox One, Don Mattrick (along with Phil Spencer) recently revealed to OXM that the company is investing $1 billion into exclusive titles for the console.
It's official, E3 2013 will have two new consoles to show off =)

"Xbox 360 defects: an inside history of Microsoft’s video game console woes" by Dean Takahashi | September 5th, 2008 http://venturebeat.com/2008/09/05/xbox-360...e-console-woes/
...I'm wondering, for those of you out there who have had to do this, does your save data get retained? Or do you just get another refurbished console, and none of your data? --Jefferson Morris
I know there is a thread about the "red ring of death" on here, but what I want to know is... Will MS ever have all the problems fixed permently? If not why get one at all? And plus game developers loose out too in the end because no one can play their games. We might as well buy a ps3 or...
Interesting news from Gamespot: Microsoft apparently has exited an agreement to publish Tim Schaefer's "Psychonauts." I'm disappointed but not surprised, given the lack of recent news (or really, any news) about this title since its announcement. I hope Schaefer pulls it together and finds a...
This sounds like a brilliant move by Microsoft. They've created a unified suite of development tools which are designed to make game development even easier. The tools look extremely promising but what really drew my eye was that the tool makes it possible to develop one release (SKU) that will...

Will this give XBOX more leverage in game development? Will this mean more games? Better games? Faster development times?
MS just got approval for the 54mbps adapter. This is the bridge between hardcore and mainstream for online gaming as far as I'm concerned. Online access has to be plug and play. Microsoft will probably be selling an Xbox-branded wireless router soon, hell, maybe even as one big package so that...
http://www.gamespot.com/gba/sports/h...s_6073488.html To be quite truthful, I'm not sure how significant this is. Here's hoping some of those HH personnel come along for the ride. In other news, Microsoft will be raising the price of an xbox live kit this september to $69.99 as previously...
Microsoft, among others, will be bidding on the assets of 3DO, which include: High Heat Baseball Army Men Uprising Four Horse of the Apocolypse Street Racing Syndicate Might and Magic Unlike the purchases of Bungie and Rare, they can only buy assets, not development houses, since 3DO...
Hi, I recently found a used copy of Suikoden 3 for the PS2. I regrettably had no prior experience with previous games in the series, but had heard a lot of good things about this epic Konami RPG. I was told by a somewhat reliable source that the game was discontinued because Microsoft...
Hey All, I need some help. I don't really game that much but the reason I don't is because of all this equipment and cables that irritate me. Anyway, I'm looking to hook up my 360 and Wii to my work station monitor - a 27" Acer with two HDMI inputs. I use one HDMI input for my laptop / work. But...
Well it's safe to say I was shocked... SHOCKED! I tell you! when my wife, completely out of the blue, hesitatingly said to me the other day "I don't know what your thoughts are, but I was thinking we should get a Wii for Christmas." SHOCKED! This is the same woman who vocally expresses...
Hello All, I am really thinking about getting an XBOX (I have a PS2 currently), as I would like to get some online games that the PS2 does not have. My big concern is what to do when a games comes out for both the XBOX and the PS2. So, for those of you out there, what do you do? Is it just...
Sony is also offering a $199 "online enabled" bundle that includes a broadband or dialup adapter. MS Press Release: Add one more reason to buy an Xbox video game system today: a new, lower price. Effective immediately, the world's most powerful video game system will retail for $179.99 in...
FWIW, I did a search in the past 45 days and tried to come up with something but It didn't answer all my questions. Hey guys(and gals), My birthday is coming up soon and I'm trying to think of a birthday gift. I currently have a high end gaming pc which is used primarily for...
As a fan of Indy Jones and the Infernal Machine, I decided to wait for the new Emperor's Tomb and see if my computer was capable of playing it. From looking at the box I seem to be on the fence for meeting the minimum requirements. I don't want to upgrade anymore, and am thinking of going to a...
The subject says it all.
I just don't see any reason not to,unless you can't afford all three systems. I don't want any console bashing here. As you regulars should know, I like all three consoles because each one has/will have some awesome exclusive games, & having all three enables me to get...
I may have the choice of receiving a free PS2 or Xbox in the near future. This could be a loaded question but which one should I take if I get the choice?
ALright I used to have a PS2 and owned all Tony Hawk Games. THe controls (with the shoulder buttons) seemed completely fluid.
Now Im contemplating buying it for the xbox and dont know if the controls are gonna have the same feeling. Does the xbox controls have that right feeling?
Thanks guys

About a month ago I was in some random video game store checking out the coming soon list and happened upon the coolest thing ever, intellivision lives. I've been salivating at the thought of getting my hands on 60 classic games for the bargain price of $20. The release date has come and gone...
