360 update causes discs to not work - PS3s update causes overheating

Microsoft's Xbox 360 recently had some troubles that caused retail discs to not work in some Xbox 360s and Sony's recent update seems to be causing overheating for people's consoles. Sony is, of course, having the worst time of all (because they're having way more troubles, like with their network, the natural disasters, etc...), but it's surprising to see 360 have an error like this at the same time.

I guess just don't update your systems for a while, until they've patched out these strange errors; Microsoft says to contact them if your 360 doesn't read discs after the update.

Microsoft, Buying Skype for $8.5 billion dollars!

Microsoft has announced that they are going to buy Skype for $8,500,000,000 (Eight-billion-five-hundred-million dollars). This is going to be huge for both of these companies; Skype is one of the biggest online video chat and telephone groups, allowing for free communication on some things.

Kinect and Skype are going to be compatible with each other, soon; Xbox 360 is going to be getting updates to be compatible with Skype. This will allow for a whole new age of communication on Xbox Live; some think it might even be free to make video calls if you have a Gold account on Xbox Live (Gold accounts are paid accounts - you pay a small monthly fee for access to tons of stuff).



Well, we'll see how it all goes... I hope it goes well. After seeing what has happened to Sony, I'm becoming more of a supporter of Xbox Live... I still like the PS3 system, more, but Microsoft's networks are far superior and aren't handled by complete morons like at Sony...

From Dust, Ubisoft game, Art Direction Trailer

Here is a really awesome looking game that I found while surfing around the internet; it's a game called From Dust. It's apparently about controlling Nature. Nature is basically the main character of the game, influencing everything that happens.

The art direction was made by looking at real locations in our world, real disasters, real floods, real volcanoes - the people of the world were influenced by real-life tribes, mostly from Africa. These tribes, in the game, also have influences put into them by the game developers - the people in the game wear masks from birth to death.



Anyway, this game looks beautiful and I really really want to play it! It looks like a very original game over what I've seen in the past few years. So, here is a YouTube video by the developers showing what they did and you get to see lots of beautiful places in their fictional world!

EA, probably developing for Next-gen Xbox

According to IGN, Electronic Arts may very well be designing games for the next-generation Xbox, already! The case, according to them, just looks like a normal computer - like many early consoles look like, before they have any real design.

The updates on IGN's story tell that the console is probably going to be coming around 2013, but the people at Electronic Arts (EA) don't know what the console really looks like or much about it; they said it was from a trusted source, but who knows - Nintendo is announcing their console at E3 this year, although, Microsoft won't announce one this year, they may announce one next year and release it in 2013.

Some people are joking that it's just going to be a 360 with a Kinect duct taped to the side...

Xbox Division, Kinect sells millions more

Microsoft's Xbox Division's sales have gone up by 60% and Kinect has sold millions more. Kinect is the awesome new way to control video games - it allows for the player to not have to use a controller at all and the player can just stand there and move about and talk to control the Xbox (or whatever platform someone decides to program Kinect to work for!).

Anyway, this has allowed this one division to make a net profit of almost $2,000,000,000 - that is, two-billion dollars.

Netflix controlled by Kinect?

It looks like Kinect is being used for everything these days! Sony and Wii might as well give up their motion controls and adapt to the Kinect, because it's winning over everything... Netflix has decided, apparently to allow controls by Kinect. This makes things a bit interesting and awesome at the same time.

Kinect for Netflix controls are only on the Xbox 360 right now, though; however, the Kinect is so awesome that I would bet it could at least spread to a few other Netflix decides. If you don't know what Kinect is: Kinect is a motion control device - need for a controller or remote of any kind, because it senses sound, movements (gestures), pictures and many other things!



This Kinect thing is getting really big, and has caused Microsoft to make a lot of money and their game and 360 sales to go way up!

$150 Dollar Wii is coming! :D

The Wii is really really expensive, so it's probably a good idea to bring it down soon... The Xbox 360 has outsold that thing for months now - and the Wii is really an inferior system, more so since Kinect was released for the 360. I really hope the price of the Wii keeps going down... Maybe then I'll buy a second one. $99 dollars seems almost right... maybe a little less.
