Yay, go Xenoblade! 3 days tracked! Feel the chances of localisation multiplying

I think a lot of Xenoblade's future will actually depend on how Dragon Quest IX does. Nintendo is publishing it in the US (and I think EU too).  If those sell well, then Nintendo can have a little more assurance that a traditional RPG can still sell around here. Sure they are different consoles, but it still may be how they're going to gauge interest.

4 years late, but here is your online headset.

I'm dying here.

How many updates can there be? Where is that counter we used to have per day?

Here's your Move lineup.

Thoughts?

Time Crisis, Socom 4, and maybe Heavy Rain will all benefit from motion controls.  Tron could be good, depending on how seriously the dev's are taking the game. Not holding my breath on it.  The rest of it is just standard Wii motion games.  Nothing special or stand-out about them.

Time Crisis, Socom etc aren't among the standard Wii like games? It didn't even need m+ for such

Say goodbye to the Red Ring of Death – it’s literally impossible for the Xbox 360 S to red ring

The Xbox 360’s technical problems are officially over. Microsoft has guaranteed that the new Xbox 360 S will never present you with the Red Ring of Death.
That’s not to say that it won’t break. All machines break eventually. But in designing the new console the platform holder decided that it might be best to remove the red LEDs that its machine have become so famed for.

Instead, Microsoft has opted for a still unspecified ‘messaging system’ when it wants to break some bad news to its owner.

“Now obviously, the box has a way to communicate to you if something has happened but yes, three red lights are not part of our sequence of telling somebody something is wrong,” Microsoft Game Studios’ corporate VP Phil Spencer told IGN.

“Obviously if you look at the success rate of the original 360s, we're very proud of both the way the company stepped up to support the customers that we had as well as the success rate we have with the box today. I think we've learned a lot. That learning has gone into the development of this new box.”

As suggested by a colleague, perhaps the new machine signifies technical problems by issuing the cry of the vuvuzela for 90 minutes?

Will the updates never end?

So they don't guarantee it won't break down just as well, but that it won't let you know via RROD? Wtf? How's that any good? Oh hey, you won't get RRODs, but you'll get BSODs, aren't you happy now mister consumer?!

Yep
