I think you only get free XBLG for the first 5 accounts on the console.

Video: Flawless 'The Perfect Drug' drumming

May 12th 2008 4:26PM (Joystiq Xbox)
Oh my freaking god. Who is he, and what band does he play in? Also, a great editing job. You could see him hit the drums and the notes at the same time. Though i found one thing odd- the TV in the shot looked like a tube, which should have the weird lines going on it. It might have been a flat panel and just looked like a tube though.

Survey finds 37% of Gen Y-ers text while driving

Harkonian, do you seriously think that will make a difference? Here in New York, the law is that you need to have a hands free cellphone in the car, but that doesnt stop people from using their phone. Just yesterday i saw a teenager texting while driving, and at least 3 people talking with the phone to their ear while driving. I dont get it, isnt taking your mind off the road enough with talking on the cell phone, but to take your eyse off the road too with texting? People are stupid.

Original content coming to Xbox 360

Mar 30th 2008 8:53PM (Engadget)
What kind of original content? And how much? I could care less if we get a single show that isnt very good and that we still have to pay for. However, if we get almost an entire channel's worth of programming that doesnt cost much to watch, yay!

700MHz auction comes to a $19.6B finish, winners still not revealed

I agree. When i boot up my computer and open firefox, the google logo appears a total of 4 times on my screen at once. Twice on Google Desktop (at the top and search bar at the bottom), once on the Google homepage, and once on the Google toolbar.

I think i am missing something... How do you ship a freqeuncy? I think they are just trying to make an extra 4 bucks off of this! What a bunch of ripoff artists!

Sirius' retail SCV1 Backseat TV System now on sale

Mar 6th 2008 9:41PM (Engadget)
I wonder how many DVDs on top of the Portable DVD player it would take to equal the cost of this. By my calculations, about 16 cheaper DVDs and an average priced player. I would go for the DVDs.

Ask Engadget: What's the best console for a new gamer?

Feb 22nd 2008 7:48PM (Engadget)
I would definitely go 360. It's selection of games is far superior to PS3's. Looking back at '07, just about all of the Game of the Year candidates from each site were on 360. There are tons of great shooters, such as Halo 3, Gears of War, Bioshock, etc. as well as many other types of games that arent as apparent on PS3. Those include RPGs like Mass Effect and TES: Oblivion, racers like Forza Motorsport 2 and Burnout Paradise, and also some more casual games like Viva Pinata (not a kids game, it is actually a deep sim).

There are many other benefits to the 360, suchas the Windows Media Center Extender. It allows you to access all of your media on your computer from your 360. Plus, you can rent full HD-quality movies, as well as a wide selection of TV shows over Xbox Live Marketplace.

Also, if you are looking for Blu-ray, an add-on is rumored to be coming around the summer, though it has not been confirmed.

Xbox Live is also a great service. For a few dollars a month ($4 if you buy the right card) you get online play on just about any game. There are a few that lack it, but only the ones that lack multiplayer altogether. You can chat with other friends that have XBL, as well as forge new friendships with people you meet in-game. It is altogether a great experience.

Reflecting upon what else was said, the premium price for the black console includes HDMI chords and a 120 gb hard drive (as opposed to the standard 20 gb), so you arent only paying for the black finish.

The high failure rate was supposedly corrected around the holiday season with a new, smaller chipset.

So for all of these reasons i recommend an Xbox 360. It is my favorite console and i am sure it will be yours.
