More E3 Microsoft Rumors

The question on everybody's mind right now is what the hell is Microsoft going to unveil at E3 this year. So far we know we will see videos, demos and information from these upcoming major Xbox titles:

• Gears of War 2
• Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts
• Fable II
• Fallout 3
• Halo Wars
• Starwars Force Unleashed
• Resident Evil 5

So what else is Microsoft planning for E3 besides just new games coming out. Well a recent article at Kotaku says Microsoft is finally going to drop the ball on the new Xbox 360 Motion Controller. This is also piled on top of the latest speculation about the new motion-controlled Xbox 360 dashboard. Well one thing I know for sure is Microsoft is planning something, I could not imagine they would not unveil something huge this E3.

What else though? Something on everybody’s minds is what is going to happen to the Halo Franchise, is it actually done, no more Halo’s! Well Bungie has helped stir rumors recently by leaving a hidden message at the end of their podcast. According to a recent story at Kotaku the exchange at the end of the podcast was:

Brian: Isn't there something going on on July 14th or something like that?

Luke: Yeah, around then.

Brian: Somehow that's sticking in my head for some reason. Guess we'll have to see.

Luke: Yep, we'll just have to be patient. Who could say?

Well this news is enough for me to watch the upcoming E3 event. Make sure to watch it live at with IGN.com

Cold Storage Comparison Screenshots

Bungies new map "Cold Storage" is almost out, but before it comes out bungie released 3 new comparison screenshots to just show you the difference between the levels from Halo 1 to Halo 3 and wow I must say it is impressive. Remember to get the map for free today!!

Bungie Studios has also taken the time to answer some questions about the new map Downloadable Map "Cold Storage."


Q: What’s changed from Chill Out to Cold Storage?

MM2: Other than the level of detail and the thematic change, we tried to keep things fairly close to the original layout. There was an overall shift in scale due to the changed run speeds, jump heights, and FOV in Halo 3. There are some jumps you can make now that you couldn’t before, and we opened up some areas of the level which created a slightly different flow . We never set out to make an exact port, but were more concerned with staying true to the overall feel of the original.


Q: What’s the deal with the Flood in Cold Storage?

VDL:The idea behind the original Chill Out was that it was a very cold storage facility of some sort. Pretty generic in the style department, but fun was the goal there and it excelled in that respect. For Cold Storage we wanted to add a reason for the season and the Flood was a perfect fit amongst all that cryogenic mumbo jumbo. The tricky part was how to add the goopy mounds of parasitic loving without messing with the original Chill Out layout. The answer was simple, Add the Flood but keep it out of the playable areas, i.e. stick it behind glass windows where you can admire it from a distance but you can’t get to it. In fact, there is only one tiny little place in Cold Storage where the player can come into contact with the Flood, yet it’s totally benign to gameplay. Keep an eye out for little herds of infection forms roaming behind the aquarium-style observation windows, and have fun with the pure-form guy in the glass tube just don’t get too close.

Cold Storage Comes Out July 7th And It Will Be Free!

Are you tired of griping about spending another $10 on some downloadable content for Halo 3 or Cod4. Well finally the Bungie has listened to our complaints and has made their next downloadable map "Cold Storage" Free, yes free. Nothing is better than a freebie.
Bungie stated by saying-

"Cold Storage will be available for free beginning on July 7, Bungie Day, on Xbox Live Marketplace."

Well this is great news, the map is a remake of chillout and it looks better than ever, check out this screen and the rest over at Bungie.net


Here is a little Video i just found to just help you get excited about playing Halo 3 and the new maps i hope you enjoy!

Sickkk!!!!!

Microsoft Finally allows downloadable content to be transferred

Microsoft has finally got off their lazy asses and fixed the Xbox DRM issue.

What is this issue exactly?
The DRM issue is where you get a new Xbox 360 and you add your old hardrive to the console and you find out that none of your Xbox Live Arcade games and other downloadable content from the Marketplace are on your new Xbox.

The reason is these files were attached to your old hard drive. Now though you can transfer these files by going to http://www.xbox.com/drm and following the instructions in this video. One important thing to remember is that you can only do this once every twelve months so if your Xbox red lights more than once a year like mine then your screwed till the twelve months is over.

Xbox 360 now only $300

Ahh finally the smell of a fresh price cut is in the air around Microsoft's Xbox 360. Anyone who was waiting for the Xbox 360 to become around as cheap as a Wii, well your time has finally arrived. The cut will drop Microsoft's Xbox 360, the 20GB model, down by $50 to an amazingly cheap price of $300.

The price cut comes by a move for Microsoft to extend the price gap between them and the PS3 and to decrease the price gap between them and the Wii. This also comes as a move by Microsoft to put the spotlight on them during the upcoming E3 during July 15-17th.

Currently the prices are:
Nintendo Wii - $250
Microsoft's Xbox 360 - $300
Playstation 3 - $400

Gears Of War 2 Multiplayer Footage

In the Video i noticed the all talked about body shield in action, but only for a couple of seconds. You also get to see the great addition of the crawl. being able to crawl away from your enemy when you are down should add a whole new level to multiplayer. Some other little things you will see is a new multiplayer lvl, 2 new reticals for the sniper and the torque bow, plus you get to see some of the environment be chipped away by gun fire which is really cool. To bad the video quality was to bad that you could not see the new graphics first hand.

Turn your Xbox 360 Into a Netflix Player

Looks like all you need is three things.

1. Xbox 360 with internet access
2. Windows Vista PC
3. Netflix Subscription

That’s it if you follow the steps above you get all the movies you can ever want, 9,000 to be exact. If only the can make the nav screen go faster and this would be the best movie player around.

Rumor has it that Microsoft will let 3rd party companies build Xbox 360's

In the latest issue of EGM: they reported saying:
"We'll tell you what's up with Microsoft: new hardware options. It may sound totally insane — trust us, we did a double-take the first time Qmann whispered it in our ears — but word has it that Microsoft may begin allowing third-party manufacturers to create Xbox 360 hardware. And we're not talking about peripherals, people; we mean hardware that runs 360 game discs created by someone other than Microsoft."

Sounds Crazy to me, but just might be brilliant. Stay tuned for more news here at Xbox 360 Hub.

Force Unleashed Video Interview

BattleField BadCompany Multiplayer Demo Review

Battlefield has always been all about Multiplayer. The story mode has never been good so there is really no point of even playing it. When i get Battlefield i dive right into the Multiplayer because of its unique experience that you only feel when you are playing Battlefield.

The new Battlefield BadCompany does not disappoint in the multiplayer this time around either. First thing you will notice is a whole new look, no it’s not gears of war graphics, but its pretty damn good. The next huge thing that is the dream of all kids is almost everything is destructible this time around. Can’t get that sniper hiding behind that window? Just shoot the entire window out. The environment is not completely destructible, but you can pretty much blow up the building down to its bare bones.

The next thing that you will notice is all the glorified vehicles are back and then some. This time around there is boats, the 120 millimeter tank, the 30 millimeter tank, Hummers, dune buggies, helicopters and even a artillery strike. The artillery strike is not exactly a vehicle, but it has you control a artillery strike that will rain down artillery on the opponents were ever you aim it.

Another Great new addition is there is a customizable weapon system like COD4, it’s not as elaborate as COD4, but it is a nice new addition.

In the demo you are playing on the map oasis which is basically a desert map similar to the one in battlefield 2’s Demo. On the map you play a gametype called goldrush, which is basically there is attackers who try and destroy the gold crates by either blowing them up with a bomb that you have to arm or by blowing them up by using tanks and such. The other team is the defenders that well defend the gold crates.

Goldrush is very fun and comes as a nice addition to the battlefield gametypes.

The only cons you will notice with the demo’s is you have to unlock some of the better weapons by lvling up. Also there is a lot of kids who are playing the demo that will just do nothing to help your team and will have a score that is negative. When something like this happens you will be completely screwed because the other team will have your base surrounded with tanks and snipers and it essentially becomes a deathtrap with you inside. Don’t get me wrong though this game is still very fun and is definitely worth a try.

Go download it now before it comes out on June 23rd and if you lvl up all the way you unlock a new gun that is only available if you play the demo. Stay tuned here at Xbox 360 Hub for the latest in Xbox 360 news and reviews.

Adam Sessler's Opinion of Kids on Xbox Live

I have watched G4 many times and i have never seen him like this. The fact is though is he is telling the truth. Kids do need to learn to behave on xbox live, it is getting out of hand. The only thing left is to never play unless you have a group of friends to play with.
