Sticking around after all

So we will be sticking around for a while after all. I changed my mind cause, well, I can.

Shutting her down...

After many years of being online, it's time to officially kill the site. No sense paying for it if no one uses it.

It's been real, it's been fun and i've enjoyed playing with you all. Last forum post was in Aug, so if you need a reason why, that's the one.

Make sure to trade info with folks so if you want to stay in touch you can.

Cracking open an Xbox 360 Elite

Great read over at TechRepublic on cracking open the Xbox 360 Elite and the modificaitons made to the system from prior versions.

Most of us think that the Elite is nothing different than our current stuff, with a bigger hard drive. Couldn't be more wrong...

Xbox to give away free game

Xbox Live Falters Over Holidays Fri Jan 4, 2:35 PM EST //

SEATTLE — Microsoft Corp. said Friday it will give Xbox 360 owners a free video game to make up for poor performance over the holidays by the system's online hub.

Gamers log on to the Xbox Live Web site to buy games, television shows and movies to load onto their consoles, and interact with other players.

Video game blogs such as Joystiq recently reported that users had a slew of problems with the site over the holidays, including trouble signing in, downloading media and getting matched with online opponents.

"We are disappointed in our performance," wrote Marc Whitten, general manager of Xbox Live, on the Xbox 360 support Web site.

Whitten said record-breaking traffic and new-member sign-ups caused the "intermittent Xbox Live issues."

Microsoft, which says it has sold more than 17.7 million Xbox 360 consoles since the system's November 2005 debut, bulked up its capacity for gamers on Xbox Live both before the release of the wildly popular "Halo 3" and ahead of the holiday season.

The software maker did not publicly detail the problems Xbox users faced or the steps it has taken to fix the issues.

Whitten said the company will give a free game from the Xbox Live Arcade, but did not say which titles will be chosen, or when.
