Hmm interesting...Never thought about the Halo 3 Beta date until DL mentioned it....If they announce the 'Elite' wouldn't the 120Gb be officially unveiled at the same time? Just wouldn't make sense not too. :shifty:

And for the second announcement...how about Free XBL Gold for all! :whistle:

Hehehe. *shuts door behind himself*

Actually, if all Spartan's teasing back then are true, then a new announcement about Xbox Live would be possible.

If they announce the X360 Elite and free online multiplayer today (and or tomorrow), the will be well on the way of winning the console war without a sweat.

don't know if this will have something to do with it but here is what I read on http://www.zunecorps.com/

Zune Firmware Update TOMORROW!

Zune insider just gave zune users this great news, ?Ok, dear blog reader: Tomorrow, Wednesday, March 28, you?ll be able to download firmware update 1.3. Mea culpa on communicating a non-final date in my earlier post (which ended up being wrong). Just to recap, here?s what?s in the update:

* We?re fixing the skipping problem that some users were experiencing ? that is, content acquired from Zune Marketplace will no longer skip when played on the device.

* Improved device and software reliability, when it comes to device detection, and improved sync?ing.

* We?ve made some changes to the FM Tuner so it no longer drains the battery when in sleep mode. ?

The post would go on to say that the Zune team is always looking for ways to improve the device. It has been a while, but it is finally here!

think it will be playing against people online who has the XBox.

Or day one could be the reveal of a new console and day two they could reveal that you can play the games against other people on PC and the console. I wonder if the Microsoft rep who came into my work eailier this week knew about this.

I also heard there is going to be a re-launch of Vista and Office.

I was thinking that could be part of the announcement. Would make sense when the Spring 07 update is finally out. However I still hope there's an announcement in there that even those of us who have the whole "free silver multiplayer" notion in our head won't anticipate.

Why would Microsoft hype something like that?

And a re-launch of Vista and Office, so soon after they're release. It seems the first launch of Vista went as well as could be hoped for, for Microsoft.... ;)

Why is everyone so exited about Xbox 360 Elite. I feel like am being ripped off cuz I was one of the early adopters of the console. Why 10 million ppl wont have the freaking HDMI socket?

I mean come on Microsoft atleast release a HDMI cable for the existing X360s. Its just like saying hey why dont you pay 400 dollars every year to keep you console current. What a load of crap. I'm p***ed.

Hope they think about the 10 mil gamers before announcing anything.

Looks like a newspaper let it leak:

REDMOND, Wash. -- Microsoft Corp. will sell a version of its Xbox 360 with a 120-gigabyte hard drive and a souped-up high-definition video connection in a bid to broaden the appeal of its popular console beyond video games.

Earlier versions of Xbox 360 came with 20 gigabytes of storage. But that filled up too quickly with movies, TV shows and games from the Xbox Live Marketplace online store, said Peter Moore, a corporate vice president in Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment group.

The new Xbox 360 Elite will sell for $479.99. Consumers who already own the $399.99 20-gigabyte model will be able to buy a snap-on 120-gigabyte hard drive for $179.99.

The new console and the drive are expected to hit U.S. shelves April 29.

thats pretty expensive for the hard drive :(

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
