Amazon Begins Selling XBLA Titles

Today, Amazon has opened an Xbox LIVE Arcade storefront through which Xbox 360 users can buy XBLA titles. You pay the cash for a redeemable code, and then you use said code on your 360. We were hoping that Amazon might shave a bit off the purchase price (as they do with LIVE Gold subscriptions),…

Dream Arcades Xbox 360 Fight Stick Takes SFIV Wireless

Arcade-style fight sticks are seriously in vogue, and now arcade cabinet maker Dream Arcades is releasing a wireless fight stick of their own for the Xbox 360. Housed in an MDF body (sturdier than particle board), Dream Arcades’ controller one-ups Mad Catz’ sticks in that it can connect to an Xbox 360 from 35 feet…

What Gadget Is Powerful Enough to Resurrect Japanese Models?

According to this Japanese advertisement, a woman died in an asthma attack. But one force in the electronic world was strong enough to pull her back from the other side. (Any guesses?) Spoiler: The PS3? The iPhone? An antique Godzilla beer device bought from a magic shop in Akihabara? Nope. It was the Xbox 360.…

Sorry, The Midnight Blue Xbox 360 Is Not for Sale

Not only is this blue Xbox 360 so cool it can only be photographed at night; it’s got twice the RAM (1GB) of a stock 360. Of course, it’s only made for developers. The Xbox 360 Midnight (totally a name I just made up) is Microsoft’s latest 360 development kit. And its main feature, other…

Xbox 360 Soap: Rated C for Clean

I know my soaps, OK? I love a good, $20 chunk of scented lye that melts away after a few blissful showers. Meanwhile, video games are pretty fantastic, too. So naturally, I’m drawn to this $12 Xbox 360 soap spotted on Etsy. Even more detailed than the NES/PS2 game controller soaps we’ve seen in the…

Vuze (aka Azureus) Makes Torrenting Video Even Better With Easy Conversion and Streaming

Azureus (now Vuze) has always been one of the bloatier BitTorrent clients, but I’ve stuck with it because I like the new UI. Now it’s even more useful: It streams and converts videos automatically.

Netflix Pays Six Cents to Stream You a Movie?

Some interesting analysis points out yet another reason Netflix is making the push to digital streaming. It’s cheap. Assuming that Netflix pays 3 cents per gigabyte transferred, the movie provider pays 6 cents to deliver an SD movie (1.8GB) and 9 cents to deliver an HD movie (3GB)—less if the film is under two hours,…

The Watchmen Xbox 360 Looks Like a Pretty Butterfly

I looked at the Watchmen 360. I tried to pretend it looked like a spreading tree, shadows pooled beneath it, but it didn’t. It looked more like a dead cat I once found, the fat, glistening grubs writhing blindly, squirming over each other, frantically tunneling away from the light. But even that is avoiding the…
