Hints at the Future of the Xbox 360 Emerge
CES has brought out quite a bit of news, for subjects across the tech industry. The future of the Xbox 360 seems to a subject Microsoft can't talk enough about. Gates' keynote touched on new media partnerships for Live Marketplace, like the collaboration with Disney/ABC. A post-keynote email to several games writers noted that 2008 will be the company's year to capitalize on strong hardware and software sales from the holiday season, and that several as-yet-unannounced exclusive 360 titles are in the works. Fans of the platform might still have some anxiety this year; a rumour on the 1up site indicates Microsoft is already working on a game for the next-next-gen console to bear the Xbox name.
Despite all of the bad things I have heard about the 360's quality, my PS3's blu ray drive broke.
It is going to be fixed under warranty.
At least I haven't heard of things going back to Sony 2, 3 or 4 times like I have heard of it happening with Microsoft. When that crap happens it tells me that they know they have a problem and know that they don't have a solution other than to replace it and cross their fingers.
Hopefully when I get my PS3 back it won't have to go back again.
Also, all of this talk about Blu-Ray winning out makes me a little happy even though I only own the 5 free movies I got when I bought the thing. I'll still wait for a clear winner.
