Microsoft Teases Exclusives


Recommended Posts

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?

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

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 :(

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Unsurprisingly, there's what the law says and what the old white wealthy males legally enforce...
    • Or anything online that requires an anti-cheat
    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
