Red Xbox

Posted in Gaming, General, xbox on February 24, 2009 by tatstechtalk


Well Well, To commemorate the release of Resident Evil 5, M$ Will be dropping this exclusive Red Resident Evil 5 xBox 360 bundle. I have to wonder if they had this planned ever since they released the red controller a while back. What do you guys think about it? With the RROD and xbox failure rate, I would think the marketing team would steer clear of anything red. According to engadget its gonna be around 399 with Resident Evil bundled.

Lost Planet

While their is no release date as of yet. Head on over to the XBOX MarketPlace for an exclusive preview of Lost Planet 2. If you guys don’t remember, Lost Planet was about the search for thermal energy on a Frozen Planet. Now the first game was awesome but it was FILLED with glitches, seemed like a rushed project, which is why i’m kind of glad that they seem to be taking their time on this one. The game looks CRAZY, the planet isn’t frozen anymore so it has a congo environment. At a first glance you can see that the gameplay inherits some swag from Gears of War and Call of Duty, which is nothing to be ashamed of. STAY TUNED!!! Oh and it now features Co-Op play =D

According to the engadget, att may be dropping their unlimited messaging+data plan to 30bux a month. I think the best part about this, is that att acknowledges that their plans suck. If they came up with some more competitive (not just matching) pricing, they would definately hold the throne.

Well it went down today. Sorry there was no Mac Mini. Here are the major announcements:

  • iTunes will now be (for the most part) DRM FREE !!! That means its now okay for you to buy a song and do whatever the hell with it, including put it on devices other than an iPod.
  • You can now download music to your iPhone 3G, without being connected to WiFi
  • The 17″ Unibody Macbook pro was also announced and will be shipping soon. Although they mentioned that the battery life has drastically improved (8hrs), it’s non-removable. How do you guys feel about that??
  • For those of you iLife and iWork users, the 09 version is shipping with tons of new features. We will have to dig into these in a later post. The new Geo-Tagging / Integration with Facebook is very slick.
  • The new version of Garage band has something I think is very exciting for the music industry. You can now learn how to play musical instruments, using your Mac. The software comes bundled with video lessons from pro-musicians. To spice things up even more, Apple is reaching out to popular artists and offering premium lessons for around $4.95 a video. This is the kind of progress that the music industry needs. Who knows what this could lead to…..
