Was going through my mail today and came across a column by David Pogue of the New York Times describing the generational divide that exists today around copyright. He walks through an interesting thought process that really highlights the different shades...
Getting a surprising amount of people pinging me asking what's up with Xbox Live. Short form, I'm not actually on the ops team fixing this, and don't have anything special I can share. Sorry about that... but I can say that there is a full-time ops team...
Interesting Gamasutra article out today on a study from research group Electronic Entertainment Design and Research (EEDAR) that shows better achievements can drive better sales. Achievements have been a bit of a phenomenon, and it's been pretty obvious...
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...
... also known as "games you can play with your friends without having to be online at the same time." In this case, it's a Wall Street Journal article from this weekend that focuses on Scrabulous , a Facebook application. It's basically Scrabble , except...
Just saw this saved Halo 3 clip on Joystiq - one of those Hail Mary throws that you'll never be able to duplicate no matter how much you try. Love it! Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | live it!
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...
Been doing a lot of work on future platform planning and was having a conversation with a co-worker about our " Live Anywhere " initiative. Although there are a lot of different aspects of Live Anywhere that excite me, one of the areas I've been doing...
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...
It's been a while since I've written about Sony... mostly because there hasn't been anything really of interest to write about. The corporate puppy has been thoroughly kicked, and it appears the consumer message is finally getting through. Next-gen just...
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...
A friend send along a link to a great post on Wired by Clive Thompson discussing what "cheating" really means when playing video games. It highlights the differences between "cheating" when playing alone versus playing online, and particularly 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...
Yep, as you probably saw around the web we have a new Dash update coming down the pipe for the Xbox 360. Lots of new features - I'll point you to Major Nelson's link for all the in-depth details, but will crib a bit of his text below: The redesigned Achievement...
