Well here is a new take on the opportunity for folding@home on the Xbox 360.  It is widely accepted that the PS3’s cell processor is much better at crunching the required data for folding than the 360’s and that it the main reason for it not appearing on the 360. They don’t like losing.. However over at the Inquirer they …

It’s nice to see other developers messing around instead of working… Over at Epic one of the developers , who is remaining nameless,  set about hacking a Gears of War level to include some mounds and holes and things to make a golf course. He then promptly gave Marcus and I am sure Dom a couple of golf clubs and walla… …

Good news for all the Crackdown fans out there. Hell great news just for me at least. The Crackdown DLC pack is on it’s way and it is bringing friends… There are actually two packs on the way, the first one brings a few extras as well as those elusive 100 achievement points that Crackdown has been missing. However the second one brings everything else that …

Two things in this story… Shadowrun has a street date… May 29th. Obviously this is the US date and once again we wait to see how long before we get it, usually a week or two… However what I really want to know is why does the Xbox 360 and Windows versions not have the same box art… It is close but different? Seems like a …

 Rumours where spreading yesterday afternoon (US Time) that Universal will be going format neutral in the near future. In other words giving up on HD DVD and going Blu-Ray just not officially. However not 4 hours later and Craig Kornblau (President of Universal Home Entertainment) sent out an email denying this completely… So was this rumour just a vicious rumour …

In what can only be described as bad news for Sony, Namco has come out and said   PS3 did not make a good start, which will make the transition from the old game console to the next generation system more prolonged than we had earlier thought. “This will keep a lid on sales of our video games in the …

So following in our never ending quest for sales regarding the next gen consoles here are the latest Japanese hardware sales… Wii      102,522PS3       12,791Xbox360 3,162 So the Xbox is dragging far behind everyone else which is no suprise the PS3 is in 2nd and also not suprising is the Wii is still winning.

Simon Munroe, AKA Delph1za, has posted his take on the whole SA Xbox Live saga over at www.delphi.co.za While I don’t agree with his viewpoint that the Xbox is not entertaining without live he does make a very good point about the way that the Xbox 360 is being marketed and distributed in South Africa. Is the person who is handling this market …

I am glad to see the South Africa Xbox Live petition has managed to hit the mainstream media… News24 has written an article detailing the official reponse from Cindy White, Xbox 360 Group Manager. She has stated that we shouldn’t need to wait long as Microsoft are planning an aggressive roll out of Xbox Live into the countries which are not covered yet. Yet …

So even though the latest NPD data has the PS3 as the least popular consoles it seems like it is quite a bit more popular to the tech savvy online shoppers. According to the latest sales data coming out of Amazon.com the Wii is the top selling console followed by the PS3 and then the Xbox 360. In comparison to all their …

  This is exactly why I don’t ever recommend using a gaming console as anything but a gaming console. Reports are coming out this morning that the PS3’s Blu-Ray player is not capable of Dolby TrueHD… Something to do with not being able to get the bits out of the HDMI port… Now I am virtually tone deaf so it …

The dashboard update arrives today…. hopefully. According to numerous sources the dashboard update will arrive on Wednesday the 9th of May at 2am PST (Pacific Standard Time). Which is 10 hours behind us so we should be able to get it at about noon.. Microsoft often have rolling updates though so just keep checking after 12 and let us know as soon as we can …
