Get The Most Out Of Your Media Center
Thursday, May 13th, 2010 10:04 pm GMT +1
I have just bought a new Media Center PC to connect to my TV and amp. It has been a major headache trying to set it up the way I want so I though (after finally getting it to work) that I would impart some advice. My Setup TV – LG 42LH7000 Surround System – [...]
Gears of War 2: Delayed But Played
Saturday, November 8th, 2008 11:49 pm GMT +1
Two months ago I pre-ordered Gears of War 2 from Play.com knowing full well that I wanted that game on release day and knew how many other people would too. The pre-order came a day late so there was really very little point because I could have just gone down to the shops and picked [...]

Xbox 360, Blu-Ray 180?
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008 02:30 pm GMT +1
Microsoft are denying rumours they have done a 180 and are discussing the possibility of Taiwanese manufacturer Lite-On, makers of optical drives, possibly making a Blu-Ray player for the Xbox 360. The rumours suggested initially an external add-on for the console (like that of the now defunct HD-DVD drive) but it now appears to be [...]
Consoles Are Dead: Long Live Convergence (Apparently)
Monday, March 31st, 2008 04:46 pm GMT +1
According to an ex-xbox employee “consoles will be dead in 5-10 years”. The article says that this is because of the increase in convergence of technologies like set top boxes, media centers and mobile phones. He also says that virtualization and internet distribution will negate the need for physical distribution networks. I think people will [...]
New 360 Controller
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008 06:54 pm GMT +1
Have a look at this article on SlashGear. It details a guy who has made a custom 360 controller for people who are unfortunate enough to only have one hand. It is designed for use with the right hand at the moment but there is no reason why the design couldn’t be switched to the [...]
Microsoft Says No Way to Blu-Ray
Thursday, March 13th, 2008 09:51 pm GMT +1
Microsoft has confirmed that they will not incorporate Blu-Ray technology into the Xbox 360. They’re argument is that they can still deliver HD content through the ‘rental’ of media through their Marketplace. Personally I think this is ridiculous. There were always rumors during the HD format war that Microsoft had deliberately invested in a failing [...]
