It may be a bit of a niche market, but we can think of the odd scenario when you might need to hook up your Xbox 360 to something so ancient it doesn't support the shipped cable. Whether through necessity or a lust for retro gaming experiences, if you want to use RF to connect your console to your TV, this accessory will do the trick. Whatever next -- a smoke signal generator?
Those pesky little worms, intent on nothing more than blowing up other worms, may be making their way to the Xbox Live Arcade in due course according to posts on Team 17's forums. It would be excellent to see Worms make it over, as its multiplayer suitability and quirky gameplay are core ingredients for a hit.
Despite a five-month delay on new Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory maps, all is not well. Some Xbox 360 users are reporting problems with the update, some going so far as to say the new maps make Splinter Cell unplayable. Fortunately, there's a workaround, but it involves deleting all your saved games in the process.
One interesting snippet to come out of Microsoft's CES keynote is the addition of a third manufacturing partner--Celestica will join Flextronics and Wiston manufacturing 360s. Hopefully this will help the shortage somewhat.
We recently stumbled across this site which lists upcoming Xbox and Xbox 360 titles to be released this month or next month. While it doesn't have European release dates, it should be a useful tool in the arsenal of any Xbox 360 fan trying to justify the games to others: "But it has more, coming soon, just look!"
According to various posters on the official Xbox forums, people taking advantage of the free one-month subscription to Xbox Live Gold will run into some irritating problems when the service expires. Despite buying a 12-month gamecard and upgrading the account, when the trial period was over one poster found his account reverted to Silver status; others have found all the gamertags on their 360 changed to Silver when just one expired.
Forbes reports that Microsoft has suffered a particularly bumpy ride this last quarter, with analysts spotting a problem with shipments that hasn't yet been addressed:
There's been some mixed justifications for the Xbox 360's poor take-off in Japan, but often the reactions to the console's subdued success so far have degenerated into unfounded generalisations.
If you've been having problems connecting to your friends on Xbox Live for games or chat, here's a tip that'll help you determine the source of the problem--and hopefully fix it.
