Xbox-live-logo

Christmas has come early for Xbox live gamers who are set for a new dashboard update on December 6th.  One of the main new features will allow Xbox 360 users to stream a variety of content from third party sources.  Catch up on your favourite TV shows with BBC iplayer, 4oD and Demand 5.  Download the latest films with Love Film and Crackle.  With Youtube, VEVO and MUZU.TV also making the upgrade, Xbox are fast catching PS3 as a console to offer entertainment features beyond gaming.

The latest Xbox live update also offers improved functionality and data protection.  With the introduction of Cloud Storage to save your game progress and Live profile, you’re covered should your Xbox break unexpectedly.  Social integration is going to allow you to stand proud (or embarrassed) as your achievements are announced on Facebook.  A step ahead of PlayStation is the release of integrated voice navigation across the dashboard, in apps and Bing Search, which will bring a dynamic and fresh experience to home entertainment.

With so many exciting features released to Xbox Live on the 6th December, it’ll be hard to switch off your Xbox 360 this Christmas!

Call of Duty MW3: Biggest entertainment launch ever

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

The latest edition to the Call of Duty franchise; Modern Warfare ® 3, has shattered all previous records of release day sales, reporting  6.5 million units sold across the United Kingdom and North America within the first 24 hours of its release. An estimated 13,000 midnight launch parties held in retail stores worldwide assisted enthusiastic gamers to kick start their online multiplayer campaign before the rest of the world.

Modern Warfare 3 achieved a day-one sell through of over $400 million, gunning down the record previously held by predecessor Black Ops ($360 million). Interestingly, the sales from the entire Call of Duty franchise exceed theatrical box office sales of the iconic “Star Wars” and “Lord of the Rings” franchises.

From a personal level, I was lucky enough to get my hands on a PS3 copy from a midnight launch party at my local Tesco.  I’m a great fan of Survival mode on Special Ops with its increasing difficulty and variety of targets to eliminate. With a shameful kill ratio of just 0.5, it’ll be a long time before I can shake off my noob status!
