Microsoft Defense Force

It's OK, you can have a quick peek

I’ve just been over at Kotaku’s house. They certainly did have some news going down over there. See that picture there? It’s what appears to be Windows Mobile 7. Do you see what else is there? XBOX Live. As Kotaku put it… that’s some tight integration, right on the home screen. Hot.

World Mobile Congress is happening today, soon. We’ll write something soon when more details about this platform synergy emerges.

"The End"

“I think you knew deep down that someday soon this would happen…” Said XBOX Live to Daddy XBOX. They were sat at a table in a cold, concrete room with fluorescent lighting.

Daddy XBOX just sat there… looking down. Quietly contemplating a response, but knew it was the wrong thing to do. About 20 seconds pass by… the silence getting louder as every second passed by.

Daddy XBOX: “… so, when”

XBOX Live (immediately cuts in): “April 15th.”

Daddy XBOX: “…”

Daddy XBOX starts walking to the door… slowly, with his head down. Just as he opens the door…

XBOX Live: “Listen, wait! …”

Daddy XBOX pauses, still with his head down and his hand on the door handle.

XBOX Live: “You’ve had a good run. An amazing 8 year run… you showed the world just what can be achieved with online gaming on the home console. You paved the way for MILLIONS of happy gamers getting online… and you have set the standard forever. Your legacy is only going to get greater as time goes on. You should be proud of yourself…”

Daddy XBOX stays silent for a few seconds… thinking…. then continues opening the door to leave. Just as he turns around to close the door completely, he lifts his head up and smiles at XBOX Live.

The door closes.

Really? Are you being SERIOUS? Is this even REAL?! Have they got NOTHING BETTER to do than STATE THE OBVIOUS about an INTERNET BASED SERVICE?!

It must have been a seriously slow news day over at KDVR. So slow, that they allowed someone (Heidi Hemmat) with extremely poor editorial skills to go ahead and write and film this joke of an article. So why is it a joke of an article? Well lets start from the top. Actually, I’ve got a better idea. I’m going to copy and paste the article below – and rip it apart. (continue reading…)

"X: I'm BACK baby!"

It’s been a while since the last (non-Canadian) one, but X is back… and I’m sure it’s back for a damn good reason. Hot on the heals of our last article about the Zune uprising, I predict that this year’s “X” will bring playable Natal games, just games, and hopefully some information on my own prediction of the Zune service slowly taking over. (continue reading…)

Zune. Microsoft Zune. How much do you know about Microsoft’s media and hardware delivery platform? Probably not too much. What purpose does it actually serve you as the consumer? What does the future hold for their relatively quiet service? And why is 2010 an important year for Microsoft? Redmond is planning an invasion… and we’re starting to see just what this year has in store. (continue reading…)

Amazing. Once again, the XBOX  360 shows no sign of slowing down. The PlayStation 3 trails behind the Microsoft juggernaught by a staggering ONE MILLION units. The well planned price cut that has recently taken place has enabled more people to enjoy the multimedia mammoth. Don’t be fooled by websites attempting to dumb down this fantastic news by stating that the XBOX 360 has had a year lead over the PlayStation 3 – numbers are numbers. This news, released by GfK Chart-Track, was given out not too long after Sony attempted to fool their followers once again by stating that they had an “overall lead in PAL territories”. A pathetic move. Desperate times call for desperate measures it seems.

We will be following sales numbers closely, especially as we now enter the holiday period.
