Here’s a newsflash for you. Apparently Microsoft isn’t working on a Blu-ray player for the Xbox 360. I know this might be a bit of a shock to some of you, but apparently they really just don’t care about the format.
Remember back in March when analysts were talking about how the release of Grand Theft Auto IV might cause potential viewers to skip out on seeing Iron Man on opening weekend? Well if they did choose to stay home, no one noticed.
According to the sales figures for opening weekend, the Marvel flick managed to pull [...]
Everyone knows that Rock Band is treated to fresh new DLC every single week, however, Guitar Hero III is slowly building a nice library of tracks as well. This Thursday Guitar Hero rockers will be able to pick up a new three pack of Muse to play along with. Hit the jump for the track [...]

The company has announced their own 4GB DDR3 kit, the PC3-16000, which features two 2GB sticks running at 2,000MHz (compared to STT’s 1,800MHz).
