Honestly I had never heard of this show before until Unsafestcorpse pointed it out to me on the Xbox Live marketplace last night. If you want to check out more of the episodes shoot over too their Youtube page. I myself don’t find it that funny after watching a couple of them, they have their moments though. [ It’s quite …

Microsoft has said new clothes will regularly be added for Xbox 360 Avatars, and most importantly they will be free. That’s according to MS Germany’s Boris Schneider-Johne, who told Dreisechzig.net this will certainly be the case for the first few weeks. Last Updated: November 24, 2008

The Gears map pack debacle has once again raised the issue about us not being an officially supported Xbox Live country. Now instead of going into the details of why we are not supported and how we can become supported lets just look at the raw facts. According to Microsoft themselves over 12 million people are on Xbox Live and …

Not that this story is completely relevant to us here in SA but I do think it’s an interesting one. Joystiq is reporting that Netflix streaming won’t have quite as many films available as may have been planned. Its seems a number of films are now no longer available to be streamed on the Xbox 360, including both Ghostbusters and …

Apparently if the Internet is to be believed, which is obviously always is, Live has been terrible over the last couple of days, To the point of being unplayable.

There is currently a popular story doing the rounds about how Epic Games think that Microsoft is winning the online battle due to their added content. In an interview with Gamesindustry.biz, Epic's Mike Capps says that it's due to Microsoft's policy of adding of constantly "adding cool stuff". That's all good and well but it's the next part of the interview that got my interest. More after the jump. He goes on to say the that: "But I love the fact that you boot through the dashboard now - I understand how some gamers might not like it so much, but that's how you join into the Xbox Live experience - your dashboard comes up, you get to see what's new, hey, there's some free stuff you didn't know about - instead of just booting into your game and missing the community." It never ceases to amaze me how people can so easily soften words to try and make something hugely profitable look like it is something that has been done as a favour to us, the gamers. He speaks about missing the community and seeing that there is free stuff available, when in truth, it's actually just all about pushing as much money-making DLC down our throats as possible. This reminds me of the famous quote, "out of sight, out of mind".

Now this is quite a strange one. Or maybe not. At a Canadian gaming festival called Festival Arcadia, fashion designers are going to be presenting their latest ideas for Lara Croft on real models. People will then vote, with the winners outfit becoming an exclusive DLC outfit for the new Tomb Raider game. The designer will also pocket a cool $3000. A second outfit will also be picked from entries that have come from gamers, with that outfit also being added as DLC. While I am against the idea of exclusive DLC, especially when it comes to silly things like outfits, I really do think that it is quite cool to get other markets involved in gaming. What do you guys think? Cool or Corny?
