Microsoft after Sony's family friendly image

Apr 21st 2006 6:07PM (Joystiq)
The Media Center Extender nature, MP3 and picture streaming, etc. plus Arcade pretty much make the 360 the family friendly system for my household. A lot of the people that use it around the house have never played a game on it, they just dig controlling the visuals while music it playing.

Five things I hate about games

Mar 2nd 2006 11:27AM (Joystiq)
5. I hate everything about portable game devices. They turn everyone into zombies.

4. I hate extreme fanboys whose only joy in life is to put down everyone that is not them.

3. I hate cheaters, grifters, farmers, gankers and wankers. Basically all the people that take the games either too seriously or not seriously enough.

2. I hate when people blame games for violence and that goes for the people that do the violence that say, "Doom made me do it". Really, if your grasp on reality is that shaky do everyone a favour and check your ass into a mental ward.

1. I hate when a game comes out for a console you don't own or when a game does come out it's been given the Lowest Common Denominator treatment so it can run on all the consoles. I'm over this whole console war thing, I don't care who wins, I just want one stinking console.

Xplorer360 grants read/write access to Xbox storage?

As long as you can't use this to get achivements/gamerpoints then it sounds like an interesting idea. Though I don't really see much point. Why would you want to play someone else's save game? It's like letting someone else sleep with your girlfriend and you show up at the end to cuddle.

Also why would you rip music to the 360 instead of your home PC and use Media Connect to stream the music in-game? Who out there is already running out of room for their save games? Interesting idea but I don't really get it.
