i have a question, want is the best thing to get with 4200 points that I will get at Christmas. if you see BreezySkells on the xbox 360 that is me

What games do you already have?

I suggest grabbing whatever's on sale this Christmas. They usually have some big sale around then.

I will keep a eye on Major Nelson twitter then.on Christmas day you will see me either Call of duty MW3 or Forza 4, got black ops (just as well i did due to something happen in April to ps3), got both kinect sports, got forza 3, got call of duty 4 & F1 2011

Does anyone have the new Xbox Live app for iPod/iPhone/iPad? It's called My Xbox Live, and it's free. I recommend getting it, it's a really great app and a bold new direction for Microsoft.

One of my coworkers got it for his iPhone and he likes it. I have a Windows Phone so all of that was already integrated into my phone.

WIndows Phone app takes it further and lets you control your xbox.

What is your gamertag?

According to Major Nelson.com, Sonic CD is coming out tomorrow on XBLA and it is only going to be 400MS points($5). YAY!!!

Got an email today from UbiSoft about a 1-day sale on AC Revelations for $35.99 + Free Shipping from Amazon! Sweet! I had been waiting to pick it up, and just $39 (with tax) was too good to pass up.

In other news, i don't think it is possible for me to hate the new dashboard look more. The horror ... the horror ... F you, Microsoft.

Yeah I dont like it either. Although I have heard that if you dont except the update than you can keep the old dashboard look, if you did except the update like me than you are SOL.

I like the update. I'm a bug fan of metro and while this isn't the best version of it I blame that on how mircosoft operates and not waiting for Nextbox for this.

Yeah, 400 MS points is a heck of a deal for this game. I had forgot they were re-releasing the game for XBLA and PSN when I saw it the other day I had to download it. Still an awesome game all these years later. The port itself is very well done, controls are spot on and it looks great.

So I'm out of a Xbox 360 once again - though I'm sure many of you already know this - another system screwing up on me, so I sold it off while I could at least get something out of it, so I'll not be online on the 360 anymore, and I'm certainly not buying another one....again. Haha. My Xbox loved me, but the 360's hate me for some reason. I mean, all I do is play them, but they just keep dying.

So, this story is really hot in the gaming world today and I wanted to see what you guys think of it.

My opinion, they're getting way ahead of themselves with the thought that Kinect is the future of Microsoft. Yeah, they're shoving it down our throats that it's God's gift to the gaming community, but gamer's - the actual gamer's out there - seem to disagree in droves. Yes, Kinect has it's qualities for sure and it's amazing technology, but if this gamble doesn't pay off in the long term, they are going to have to serious rebuilding to do afterwards. When the Wii died, Nintendo had/has 3DS and when the PS2 died off and the PS3 wasn't worth buying for years, Sony had the PSP to carry them through. But Microsoft doesn't have this alternative...that's unless they've got something REAL BIG coming up this year that we don't know about!

I'm banking on the latter, because I don't see Kinect as being the new Xbox system like they've claimed it is/will be. I think the quite approach that Microsoft has been using lately is masking something truly spectacular that's up their sleeve for this year, because they've lost way too much lately to be this arrogant - not something Microsoft is usually known for vocally being (e.g. Bungie, Bizarre Creations, Mass Effect, Limbo, etc.).

What do you guys think? _{I bet you thought I was going all fanboy there at the beginning too, didn't you! Haha}

If they truly think Kinect is the future for Xbox, well I may unfortunately have to stop supporting the brand. I'm a big fan of the Xbox brand, 360 in particular, but controller-free or this 'hybrid' gaming with the controller and kinect that they're talking about are both utter garbage. Let me use a regular damn controller for future Halo games, please.

"hey Nintendo could win this gen despite alienating the fans, but we're Microsoft. We can alienate the fans more WITHOUT being in 1st place. Take that Nintendo!"

Kinect is the Future on Input technology as a whole.

Kinect as a User interface system blows move and M+ out the water. While one may agrue that its not the best for games in the long fun of these Games aren't a Important market but one tooo get Kinect hyped and into the hands of Devs and everyday tech.

For an example the 3D modeling that Josh showed off in the video. Theoretically one could use the sensor to control robots on other sides of the world. This could be a giant step for robotics more so than the simple open close pincer of the wii applications. With a Higher resolution Kinect Camera sensor could scan your hands and allow you to work with more advanced hand like robots.

But yeah for stuff like gaming the Kinect is okay at best.

I'm so sad I missed Bastion for 50% off on the 12 Days of Deals. At least I picked up the last New Vegas DLC I needed for half off today. I might actually get a chance to finish Fallout: NV in the time between when I tire of Skyrim and before I start Kingdom of Amalur.

Got my copy of AC Revelations yesterday, yay Amazon/Ubisoft sale! Won't get a chance to start playing it till tomorrow, but a nice Christmas present (from me, to me, lol).

Picking up a New Copy of FF13 saturday.

I played up into disc 2 but it wouldn't load when i went to change discs.

The Game has great music and isn't as bad as everyone says.
