Xbox Live RealGameCard Vista Sidebar Gadget

[Widgets Lab] With the exception of Slain’s Mulitple XBox Live Gamercard Gadget, none of them used the official Gamercard. 6 of them use the MyGamercard.net, which is nice until you try to click on an icon and want it to link back to XBox.com.

Karma Comes 360º

[joepopp.com] I was debating over whether to get an Xbox 360 with the refund, or wait until the PS3 launched. If not, maybe you remember my post about the upcoming PS3 launch and anticipating the camping in front of Best Buy to get one?

Which one should I put on my list?

[joepopp.com] The PS3 has a lot of bells and whistles that might even justify the cost, the Wii has all kinds of originality that makes it attractive to everyone, and the Xbox 360 has a year head start on both of its rivals. With all the holiday hub bub, I thought I’d just let everyone know how my experience is going.

Half Life 2 coming to Xbox 360

[Freyburg.com] And with that, the final sticking point between myself and some Xbox sweetness has been decided. Half Life 2 will not only have enhanced graphics, it'll include Episodes 1 and 2, as well as Team Fortress 2 and some other neat stuff.

Half Life 2: a tribute to awesomeness

[Freyburg.com] I picked up Metal Gear Solid 2 at a flea market to tide us over, but we need a game with the depth and great gameplay of HL2 (for the regular Xbox.) I know Oblivion for the 360 is supposedly amazing, but I won't be getting a Microsoft's next-gen console for a little while yet...

[Freyburg.com] Top of my list would be "wasting time playing video games when I could be doing something constructive," but Cnet has other reasons for eschewing the 360.

There are only eight gadgets as I write this, because it’s only been a few hours, but I can just picture thousands coming in the next few weeks.

PSP = Portable Suspendable Playstation

[hesthamar.com] During my recent trip to Seoul, South Korea i saw a PSP for the first time in my life, and after about on half minute witht the ting I was sold (or the PSP was sold if you see what I mean). The graphics is somwhere between the PS One ans the PS2, but that is not the piont. What is neat about the device is the good games and playability of them. I don’t play that much games, but during the last weeks I’ve not played on the Xbox at all. And I only own three PSP games”¦ so go figure. The suspend feature is something I really miss with the Xbox (the xbox should have this feature beeing buildt on vanilla x86 hardware and all), now I can hibernate my gaming session and resume whenever/wherever I want. Really neat

E3 Details on XBox 360 and PS3

[Oceanside, Nevada :: Main Page] Backwards compatibility is huge. The iPod and PSP hookup I had heard rumored but doubted. I look forward to more information as far as just how much integration we're talking about here, I mean, can we expect to see an iTunes for XBox or are we looking at some sort of Real-style hack? Final Fantasy coming to XBox was probably the biggest surprise for me.

What OS Powers Microsoft’s New Xbox?

[world.of.unknown] When the Xbox 360 was launched two weeks ago amid much brouhaha over its custom-designed IBM PowerPC-based CPU with 3 symmetrical cores running at 3.2GHz each, WindowsForDevices.com wondered aloud, “What OS runs inside the Xbox 360?”

E3 console insanity!

[Freyburg.com] I'm torn as to which beast I'll eventually break down and get. The PS3 has (no surprise) a far superior line-up of launch titles, but all the good stuff eventually slums its way to the Xbox. And one of the reasons (in fact, probably the main one) I got an Xbox in the first place is because it whups the Playstation hard for first person shooter games, my particular gaming weakness. I can't see that changing with this new generation of consoles.
