Microsoft is claiming that the approximately 11 million units of Xbox 360 sold in the United States from the product's debut until mid-2008, represent just 25% of the consoles' total sales. In this context, the Redmond giant is looking to push no less than another 33 million Xbox 360 consoles. The soft... |

You don't even know what to believe these days. Rumors take all possible shapes, but when we're talking about the games market and gaming hardware, they sometimes tend to be overstretched. This time however, a rumor about Microsoft prepping to launch new Core and Premium Xbox 360 models, enabled with HDMI o... |

Early this month, rumors of an Xbox 360 price cut have been circulating on the Internet more than ever. It's obvious really - I myself could say there's a price cut in order for the 360 just like that - as Sony has serious plans of cutting the price on their respective machine (the PS3) and so Microsoft has... |

A Circuit City flyer popped up on gaming sites yesterday, apparently showing that 360 gamers had the chance to "save $20 on the purchase of two Xbox Live accessories $19.99 and up," as I found via 1UP.com today. Basically, this meant that if you got yourself two Xbox Live 1600 MS point cards at their respective $19.9... |

Even if this picture was soon to be proven to have been made by a 5 year old, I still couldn't have not posted it for you to see. That's right, 360 lovers and hardcore gamers worldwide, the first/upper picture you see on the left (click to enlarge) displays four Xbox 360s, soon to be presented at the E3. Ye... |

Now that Microsoft is actually starting to care about its customers and fix all the issues regarding overheating units, disc scratching units and so on, Xbox 360 gamers are in for another treat. This time around, MaxConsole is reporting that XCM is prepping to make an HDMI cable available for both Core and Premium SK... |

Just minutes after finishing writing about Nyko's rolling out some extra accessories for the Xbox 360 Elite, I stumbled upon this piece of news. It seems that more and more Xboxers have to deal with overheating machines. But the company isn't sitting there and waiting anymore. They're taking machines b... |

Some of you may remember that a little while ago, the Air Flo extra cooling system from Pelican was revealed for Sony's Playstation3. It is an additional external cooler that joins the PS3 internal cooler to keep things "cool" (literally) for the PS3 gamer. Xbox 360 fans already have something similar, but not a... |

Peter Moore has all the reason in the world to be happy. The Xbox 360 is doing fairly good, especially with the Elite model out now (or at least so he says), laughing indirectly at Sony's mistakes with the PS3 and their PlayStation Home service, knowing that Halo 3's release will provide XBLA with ever more... |

If you decided to skip the reading part and see the video first, no, the PS3 Elite doesn't cost $3000 so you can leave your father alone even if he is a successful businessman. Although they're making more fun of the PS3 than anyone has before them, it's not exactly a lie. You can imagine that a silv... |

Going around by the name of Halo 3, it's the Xbox 360's most awaited title since it was first announced. Not a day goes by that gaming sites and magazines don't poke it from every side, 'till there's nothing left and when new screenshots emerge, the FPS's anticipation grows even larger.... |

Although it was launched just two days ago, the Elite is surrounded by big buts. First of all, the Elite can fail right from the start because it targets consumers that want to download and play high definition video, with that HDMI output and cable and that 120 gig hard drive of its. As I found on NextGeneration to... |

Just getting off the faulty Xbox 360 Elite topic, the Chinese publication Commercial Times quoted their sources as saying that "an engineering version of the 65nm-made Xenos has been sent out and production will start in May. TSMC projected sales contribution from 65nm would amount to 5% during mid-2007." So that me... |

What did I tell you? I'd just like to go on record here that "I" warned of the Elite's possible incompetence of doing simple tasks such as keeping quiet while reading from the hard drive or discs. Kidding of course, but it's true nonetheless, as CVG recently reports.It seems that the Xbox 360 has earn... |

Great model, nice video, clean hands, nifty idea, but what's up with the emotional song? OK, I agree that Rammstein wasn't the best choice either but with a Celine Dion song I could have watched it without actually crying. Oh and, the thank-you-for-all-the-games part, I didn't quite get it, either. It... |

Before you smash your head into Gamestop's and Best Buy's doors, there are some things you need to know if you intend to buy Microsoft's newly rolled out Xbox 360 Elite, equipped with a 120GB HDD and HDMI enabled. Kotaku's kept in touch with some retail moles, thus being able to bring information... |

Long before the Elite was even properly dated, retailers got their mitts on the machine's 120GB HDD. Over at HardOCP there are actual photos of the product, complete with data transfer cable, coming from reader and recent owner of the elusive black storage drive, Kyle Dobbins, who acquired it at Wal-Mart. The pi... |

So, getting ready to mess up the Elite are we? Well, not if you need the extra hundred bucks for something else. As you know, Microsoft's rolling out their elusive, black cased Xbox 360 Elite, selling its massive 120 gig hard drive unit separately for $180. That's a lot of cash for an HDD unit, you have to ... |

Ever thought that an Xbox 360 Elite was one too many consoles? So, you think that my question is dumb, don't you? Well here's proving you wrong. Although I don't fully agree with GamePro's list of eight reasons why the Elite isn't such an elite product, the site does highlight some of the fa... |

With the Xbox 360 Elite on its way, naturally some retailers had to break the launch date and sell it a bit earlier. Llamma took advantage of this and got one step ahead of everyone else, not to play with it, but to break it apart so the world could see what's inside. Don't get me wrong, they didn't ha... |

It didn't take long for retailers like EB Games and Gamestop to see a good deal in the launch of the Xbox 360 Elite Microsoft's prepping a release. Thus, they've arranged for Xboxers to be able to trade in their old machines and get a lower pricing on the Elite when it launches. Of course the Elite... |

Now that the Elite's on its way, with that elusive 120 gig hard drive, HDMI enabled and having IPTV capabilities, you might just want to trade in your old Xbox or Xbox 360 (any SKU), for the black cased system from Microsoft. However, I'm not so sure how people are going to do just that if they have preciou... |

Yeah, sure it's fair, for you guys maybe, but for us buyers, not so fair. In an interview with Game Theory, Microsoft sent company's group product manager for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live to tell people that, although the 120 gig hard drive for the Xbox 360 Elite sounds a little pricey, it's actually not.As ... |

Yesterday, thoughtful blokes at 1UP showed gamers what they have to pay in order to have next-gen fun, acquiring ether of the two best consoles today: Sony's PS3 or Microsoft's upcoming Xbox 360 Elite. Comparisons between the two machines' accessories, title lists and the consoles themselves showed tha... |

The world went up in flames after the official announcement of the Xbox 360 Elite and its massive 120 gig hard drive. Then there was the rumor that a certain data cable would be needed in order to allow users to transfer older Xbox 360 data. But there's a big BUT to the whole deal of transferring data from old 2... |

Team Fortress 2 is the long-anticipated sequel to the original Team Fortress mod for Quake. It's a Valve game and we know how much they like making multiplayer team-based first-person shooters with strategy elements. The game has been through various concepts and designs, yet it's finally launching on three... |

Many probably thought that after the Elite was officially announced, previous models of the Xbox 360 system, such as the Core and the Premium would see significant changes like price or retailer supply and so on. Thing is, Microsoft is going out of its way to tell Eurogamer that people will have three choices, concer... |

So it's true after all. GameInformer's rumored black Xbox 360, HDMI enabled, is out in late April and it will empty your pockets for $479. Plus it is going to be a limited edition (Engadget says probably a couple hundred thousand units). Although some of you were already hoping that earlier SKUs would see a... |
