Could be, according to this Next Gen article : Halo 3, released on September 25, grossed a whopping $170 million in first day sales, a figure that had swelled to over $300 million by early October. In contrast, North American movie box office takings...
Just a quick post to point you to The Orange Box . For those of you living under a rock, The Orange Box is a compilation of five games from Valve: Half-Life 2, HL2 Episode 1, HL2, Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2. I'm one of those people who never...
Was sent this interesting article highlighting ten businesses that will likely be extinct a decade from now. Interesting, but what really caught my eye was this snippet: Coin-operated arcades With Nintendo Wii, casual gaming online and the Xbox 360, the...
Just wanted to point you guys to an interesting Gamasutra post on a recent Gamefest presentation about certifying Xbox 360 titles. It's important to remember that certification focuses on certain platform-interacting features of a title, and not gameplay...
Just wanted to point anyone who might be interested to a Seattle-area Halo 3 charity launch event . It's being pulled together by a good friend and coworker of mine Scott Henson (Gamertag: Bear ), and is a great way to get that Halo 3 loving feeling going...
This one is from a site called CampaignHD , and is obviously a very pro-HD-DVD site working to encourage publishers to support the standard. Just want to be very upfront about that as this article is definitely down on Blu-Ray and quite positive on HD...
Just wanted to point you to a warranty change we just announced regarding the "three flashing red lights" error some people have had. To quote: As of today, all Xbox 360 consoles are covered by an enhanced warranty program to address specifically the...
Just wanted to point you to a couple of interesting posts today. The first was Jerry/"Tycho" of Penny Arcade fame talking about ThreeSpeech (the "unofficial" Sony blog), as well as commenting on Microsoft bloggers in general . As usual, his writing speaks...
I like Halo. That's probably not a shock to anyone - in fact, you probably expect a love of Halo to be a part of the Microsoft indoctrination process. That said, I really do like Halo, even without the brainwashing. I'm not a big fan of the multiplayer...
A good friend of mine, N'Gai Croal , just posted an interesting discussion he had with Geoff Keighley about April's NPD report. I've known N'Gai for a long, long time now... perhaps ten years or so? We tend to disagree a great deal about certain topics...
Been biting my tongue on this one for a while, but there are some great updates and DLC coming for Crackdown! As you probably remember from a couple of posts I did on Crackdown, I loved the game but definitely was looking for new stuff to do once I finished...
Lots of details over at Major Nelson . One of the cooler aspects of the update is IM integration - yes, you can now communicate with all of your Live Messenger friends! Currently most of you will need to use a USB keyboard, but I can tell you the TID...
Saw an update from Compete (a company that tracks and analyzes online store searches to understand consumer demand). This time they're focusing on the Elite SKU, and asking the question of whether there's market demand for it. The whole article is interesting...
Wanted to point you to some interesting new Microsoft technology - a high-capacity color barcode that can hold up to 3,500 characters of information. The BBC has a good summary , but I'll give you a quick quote here: The code is made up of up to eight...
Just saw this over on Kotaku - a flashback to the Atari 2600 days when you'd have to document your video game successes with a camera (film, no less!) and send off a picture to prove it. Activision used to send out patches as a reward. Obviously different...
