Microsoft reveals usage stats for Facebook, Last.fm

Nov 28th 2009 2:24PM (Joystiq)
Here's an idea, just make a web-browser for the 360.

These apps have almost zero functionality other than to see who on your facebook page has XBL. Otherwise, they're too clunky and hard to boot up to use practically on either twitter or facebook.

PSA: Facebook, Twitter now on Xbox Live

Nov 17th 2009 12:39PM (Joystiq)
The new Facebook/Twitter/Last.fm/Zune features on the xbox are useless. If they can't run in the background during a game, or at least be easily launched from the default jewel button menu, what's the point?

Apple's 8GB iPhone 3G falls to $99 on contract

Jun 8th 2009 3:23PM (Engadget)
This sucks. AT&T just made upgrading to a refurb iphone 3g available to "CURRENT" customers in the last few months for $99. I bought my wife a refurb iPhone 3g for that price 45 days ago. No wonder they made the refurbs available to current customers, they knew you could get a NEW one for the same price very soon. Tricky, tricky AT&T.

iTunes activation servers go down, iPhone 3G customers being sent home unactivated, first-gen iPhone customers stuck with dead iPhones

My first gen is bricked. I updated this morning without reading any online news sites. I wish I had. Thanks Apple, I had a lot of important business calls I was expecting this morning. Not only is my phone bricked, but those calls are as well. This better not effect my business or you will be hearing from my attorney. No warning, nothing. You just took my communication device down with no statement saying this might happen during the update. No way to reverse it either. Maybe you should have pulled the update the minute you found out that it was going to brick phones. Negligence.

Peter Jackson's Halo project now hiring

Apr 23rd 2008 6:51PM (Joystiq Xbox)
Well, considering Peter's been hard at work for the last 18 months making Lovely Bones, and just finished, I'm not surprised they're just now starting on this.

Video: The Incredible Hulk breaks stuff

It looks like the Transformers game with the hulk replacing bumblebee. Meh indeed.

Microsoft denies 360 Blu-ray attachment

Mar 13th 2008 11:38AM (Joystiq Xbox)
Well, alright. That's the denial I've been waiting for. I guess I'll go ahead and buy a PS3 now. Who knows, maybe they'll start putting out some decent games as well. After all, PSN is free, maybe after 5 years I can stop paying to play online.

Burnout Paradise to get a title update soon

Mar 5th 2008 1:41PM (Joystiq Xbox)
I really love the game, but not being able to set custom map markers to have the nav help me get there, and not being able to instantly reply a race I just lost is making me sell my copy on Ebay. I'm sorry, but I don't want to drive 3 minutes to get back to the beginning of a burning route I lost by 3 seconds. That's not fun. Also, they completely ruined the goals of showtime. You get nothing for having a huge crash other than breaking a record. There are no goals anymore. What's the point now? It was my favorite thing from Burnout Revenge, and now it's nothing more than rolling around a bunch of crashed cars. Fun for a few minutes, but without a goal and reward afterward... what was the point?

NPD: 360 sells 1.26 million and H3 is king of '07

Jan 18th 2008 10:42AM (Joystiq Xbox)
Well, we should enjoy the dominance while we can. I love my 360 and I've been a Microsoft supporter since 1990. I also swore that after having two PS2's die on me because of laser issues I would never buy another Sony console ever again.

But... I also love HD movies, and the PS3 is the cheapest and fastest Blu-Ray player on the market right now. I will be buying one in the very near future. We'll also see how PS3's exclusive games shape up against 360's this year. Remember, we don't have a Halo or a Call of Duty coming this year.

Plus with the debacle of the XBL servers being down so long, and now we're being told we can't even get updates to that... there are going to be a lot of frustrated online gamers jumping ship from the paid service of XBL to the free service of PSN.

Just sayin'

Lawsuit prevents MS from talking about Live's status

Jan 14th 2008 12:36PM (Joystiq Xbox)
Between XBL service acting weird without any updates being given to us as to why, all the great games for the xbox have been released and played now, and Microsoft standing firmly (and perhaps stupidly) behind HD-DVD...

The Ps3 is looking better and better every time I pass one at Best Buy.
