Why does microsoft permanently ban people?
details
I would like to take the time and thank microsoft enforcement for ripping off multiple customers over the years. Just because your great at a game does not mean your a cheater,hacker,modder. Perminantly banning accounts is an excuse for microsoft to sit on their throne and be tyrants in their jobs. Please do not allow them to continue to abuse the power they were given. Microsoft enforcement is a bunch of nerdy,picked on little children who hate to lose at video games and the result is they will... Read more →

Price of the Next Generation of Video Games
details
Talk of the next generation of home consoles is starting to appear on nearly every video game website. It got me thinking about what the price will be per game. With every generation, the prices of games have increased by $10.
Now I don't know about everyone out there, but $59.99 is my limit and the game has to amazing for me to even consider purchasing it at that price. I do most of my shopping on Amazon.com and I wait for their video game sales.
Yet I can't say that I feel confident that games...

The big dashboard update for the Xbox 360 has begun rolling out. What are your impressions?
details
After a bit of a delay the new fall update is rolling out. For those of you who have gotten the update what are you impressions so far? Do you like the the new metro look?

Edit: looks a big change was the Netflix UI and it's not too bad. I like being able to select audio subtitles as an option now. However I can't seem to identify how one restarts a currently watched episode. I wonder if anyone else is finding different changes that are for the better or worst yet.

Alright, who will be playing the Battlefield 3 beta and on what system?
details
It's one of the most anticipated games of the year. I've long been a Battlefield fan over the Call of Duty series, so I'm super excited. Are you?
I plan to dive into it via PS3 this weekend. (Find me on PSN: "rockbandit007")

What system are you going to be playing on? Maybe we should create a gdgt platoon! (And if I ever seen "[gdgt]" in all caps, that's grounds for immediate court martial.)

Xbox 360 hits 55 million units
details
Microsoft announced that the Xbox 360 has hit 55 million units sold, and that its sales are accelerating not only disproportionately to its competition, but to any console ever at this period in its lifecycle. The Xbox team released a super interesting normalized sales graph that tracks sales progress from launch through year nine of the last few console generations: http://static.flickr.com/5062/5793291459_447e283c3... The interesting trends I'm seeing here: the Wii, as we know, has flamed... Read more →

Seven thoughts on Microsoft buying Skype
details
[This appeared in the gdgt weekly newsletter. You can subscribe to it here: http://gdgt.com/newsletter/ ] 1. I have to confess that I had an inkling something was up when I suggested that Microsoft buy Skype in the newsletter a couple of weeks ago. I'd been hearing from some of my sources that the two companies were talking, I just didn't think it'd happen quite so quickly -- or even at all given the interest Skype was also getting from Google and Facebook (and probably some other...

As a Microsoft fan bordering on fanboy it is extremely depressing to look at what the company has done and imagine what they can do.
details
Zune HD is a wonderfully designed hardware proving they can make beautiful and functional hardware even as a software company. The Xbox 360 is a commercial success and while it does not show off their hardware chops thanks to some missteps (I am looking at you RROD) it still shows that Microsoft is still wonderful at software because one of the biggest reasons Xbox 360 tops other (in my opinion) is the easy to use and functional UI along with an excellent web experience in Xbox Live.

Okay, so I was about to buy the Astro Gaming A40 Wireless System (a.k.a.
details
2011 Edition), but after reading some reviews (I liked the CNET one) and lots of different opinions, I just got so confused. A lot of people says the Astro A40 are the best gaming headset ever created, and that they so superior than the Turtle Beach X41. Then there's the people that says you should get the Turtle Beach X41 cause they have 7.1 Surround, a way better bass, and are cheaper (and wireless, but that is no longer a problem). Is there really a noticeable diference between Surround... Read more →

It's a hidden known attribute (well was hidden from me), that if you get the VUZE program for the mac, you can essentially stream videos from your computer…

to your Xbox, via WiFi, and they turn out pretty good. No need to convert to H.264 or anything. I was considering getting the Apple TV, but now there is no need. Works great!
