Xbox 360

By matt buchanan So, I went to Circuit City yesterday because I couldn't keep myself away from the Black Friday madness (it's fun), and because I wanted to pick up that $199 Xbox 360 Arcade + 20GB refurb hard drive, since it was a good deal without BS add-ons. Apparently, they only had one of those per store, so...

By Jesus Diaz According to Xbox Scene, the new 256MB chip will allow to install the entire new NXE dashboard without requiring the hard drive or any external flash memory unit. It will also allow you to store XLBA games, save gamesave information, or whatever you want. The rest of the motherboard layout s...

First off, the supposed price cut. At the meeting, SCEE President David Reeves revealed that the PS3 will be getting 'more competitive' from March 2009. That said, most consoles get a price cut when they turn 1-year old. It had better be a good cut though since the gap between the PS3 and Xbox 36...

By Jack Loftus As the economy slips deeper and deeper into oblivion, we can take some solace in these wonderful Black Friday ads that will inevitably trickle out up until the day after Thanksgiving. Today, we bring you the Dell Black Friday ad, complete with deals on their computers, media devices, moni...

By Mark Wilson While we've already reviewed what it's like to stream Netflix movies on the New Xbox Experience, we missed that there were 300 pieces of HD content right below our noses. Since then, we loaded up The Thing in HD and gave Netflix Instant Streaming HD our full once-over.

By Mark Wilson The New Xbox Experience—which we just gave a stellar review—will not only stream Netflix movies. It will be streaming Netflix movies in HD. Whaaa? Nobody else does that! Seeing as I found SD streaming flawless on the 360, I'm really curious to see if Netflix and Microsoft can deliver the sam...

By Mark Wilson This November, the Xbox 360 will turn three. So far, it’s been a profitable and successful system for Microsoft, capturing the attention of developers, snatching exclusives away from the PlayStation 3 and gaining lots of street cred from hardcore gamers.

By matt buchanan Xbox Evolved says that Microsoft is “testing the waters” on the next Xbox's final specs, but wants to put this option out to developers sooner, rather than later. The whole thing sounds a bit too good to be true (meaning it probably is), but they say that it's from one of the same sources that t...

By Wilson Rothman SharePort turns the local USB port located on the back of the DIR-825 router into a fast and responsive virtual network port so users can access a range of USB devices regardless of their location in the home or office. With the power of 802.11n Wi-Fi technology, D-Link's latest addition to i...

Additional charging cables are available for $12.99 for the XBox 360(R) and $9.99 for t...

By Jason Chen Nintendo's President Iwata, the man who wants US customers to believe that there will be a Wii shortage this Christmas not caused by Nintendo themselves, has just said that they want the Wii MotionPlus to be as cheap as possible because it doesn't cost too much to manufacture. How cheap? Th...

By Adam Frucci Coming in the fall Xbox 360 update: Netflix! Yes, Xbox 360 owners who are also Netflix subscribers will be able to stream movies available for online streaming now straight to their consoles. You can also share your Netflix movies with friends via your Xbox Live party so you can watch stuff...

By matt buchanan The first thing I spot—and ask about—when I walk in is the Xbox 360 on the shelf, a ghostly reminder of the promise of a ubiquitous IPTV box. The status? Microsoft and AT&T have to "come to terms" on it. Whatever that means, but the shaky laughter dotting our exchange implies you'll probab...

By Mark Wilson With E3 just around the bend, Trusted Reviews is reporting that Microsoft will announce a new Xbox 360 SKU at the event—a 60GB unit that's been rumored for a while. There's no word on just how Microsoft will incorporate system into its line (which is currently three models offering no hard d...

By Jason Chen Microsoft's red ring Xbox 360 problems have cost the company about a billion dollars in warranty repairs, but the research vice president and chief analyst at Gartner said that the hardware problems were caused because Microsoft wanted to be cheap. Instead of using an application-spec...

By Mark Wilson Everyone is pretty sure that Microsoft is shrinking the heart of the Xbox 360 onto one chip when the production process hits 45nm, but as we said yesterday, that doesn't necessarily mean a slim Xbox 360 is on its way. Microsoft has officially responded to the rumor with a big "nayi":While we...

By Jason Chen Giving up your Xbox 360 to Microsoft for four to six weeks while they repair a red ring error is fine if you can survive that long without gaming or using it as a Media Center Extender, but why would you own an Xbox 360 if you could? Team Xecuter, a mod/hacking group that's famous for making stuf...

By Mark Wilson Benjamin Heckendorn (aka Ben Heck) is known to most of the geek world as a console modding god. And his latest accomplishment, squeezing an Xbox 360 Elite into a laptop, is his best revision yet. Because while he's made 360 laptops before, this is his first based upon the newer 65nm chipset (p...

By Mark Wilson It appears that the new $399 40GB PS3 was an excellent strategy for Sony (happy birthday, btw), because for the first time in all time, the console has outsold the Nintendo Wii in Japan. Sure, only time will tell if the PS3 has real momentum behind it. But when hanging out in Akihabara a few mont...

For those unfamiliar with TVersity, it's the app you run on your PC that lets you transcode just about any format into a format your Xbox 360 can understand. Essentially, this means you can watch DivX, XviD, and other media files on your consoles on the fly. Good news, because now it's availab...

We're patiently waiting for the day when modchip makers announce that they've finally cracked Microsoft's Xbox 360 wide open, but until that day comes we'll just have to settle for baby steps. The DevilMod 360 is a dual firmware mod that allows users to have their Xbox 360's optical drive r...

A group by the name of Team Xecuter is getting fantastically close to making a modchip of the plug-n-play variety that would permit the drive to use both the hacked and normal firmware. There's still some bugs to work out, namely that the firmware chip is connected to the Xbox 360 with nigh im...
