We’ve been hearing a lot about the rumored price drop of the Xbox 360 Pro to $299. Naturally when we’re this close to E3, a price drop like this can mean only one thing: new hardware. A recently leaked memo from Microsoft (unconfirmed) shows that they are indeed releasing new hardware. Hit the jump for [...]
I’ve discovered that one job I could never do is be any sort of spokesperson for one of the big three console makers. For one, I totally understand that each of the major consoles has its strengths and weaknesses, and thus could never commit myself to one completely. I also couldn’t be as much of [...]
Lately we’ve been seeing more and more games for the PS3 require a hard drive installation to play. It’s become such commonplace now that no one is really making a big deal out of it. Honestly, it’s not such a big deal for PS3 owners because they can install a large hard drive on the [...]
We’ve heard the rumor that Microsoft is dropping the price on the 20GB Xbox 360. The flyer looks pretty legit, and I’ve been seeing others crop up, so I have little doubt that it is true. Now the question becomes why. Why is Microsoft dropping the price on their 360?
If you guys are anything like me, you’re pretty damn excited about Rock Band 2. Details on the game are still fairly scarce (and will likely remain so until E3), however, we do have an idea of when we’ll see the game on store shelves. Let’s just say that Xbox 360 owners will be a [...]

This has to be one of the craziest and most off the wall rumors that I’ve heard in a long time. Just imagine for a second that you walk into the store to purchase a brand new Xbox 360, and you find several versions to choose from. That’s nothing special, as we already have that [...]
By now I’m sure you’ve heard of the Netflix set-top box that allows you to stream movies directly to your TV. It’s a pretty cool device, but to be honest, I’ve got enough devices connected to my TV, I really don’t want another. So the thought of hacking my 360 to gain the same functionality [...]
Alright, the people that sit around and create these designs that make us gadget addicts heads go to mush are just cruel and unusual. This particular concept was featured in T3, it is an artist’s rendering of what was hinted at by Microsoft a while back ago.
Let’s get the first hurdle out of the way: SE2 Labs‘ ITC One home entertainment system costs $25,000. Assuming you’ve got that to spend, though, what do you get for your money? How about an XBox 360, Wii, Apple TV, iPod dock and DVR, together with “audiophile grade” mods and power conditioning, all in a [...]
