I’m no tech expert, but I have heard rumblings that the new Xbox will be almost completely incompatible with the Xbox 360. I hope that’s wrong, but it’s out there.
What makes me optimistic though, is that new Arcade games and apps are still releasing for the Xbox 360. If they aren’t compatible with the new Xbox, why are these companies still making them?

So how does Amazon make money? Because just a couple weeks ago I traded Bioshock Infinite in for $36 PLUS an additional $20 video game credit.
Amazon gave me $56 for Bioshock and now they are selling it for $40. Best website ever.

It is going to be a very entertaining Holiday season this year. New consoles from Microsoft and Sony will probably cost at least $100 more than the Wii U. Meanwhile, Nintendo will be throwing down a brand new 3D Mario game and potentially a new Mario Kart.
I fully expect the Wii U to sell very well this fall.

I believe the full quote should be:
We have no games in development for the Wii U currently because Nintendo wouldn’t use Origin for their online service.

I have always wondered why employing someone in the USA is considered so much better than employing someone in a third world country. Realistically, third world citizens probably need the job much more than we Americans do.

And to think, Facebook showed off a slick, redesigned news feed what feels like an eternity ago. What happened to that?

Well, yeah, I never said it was a good deal, but I have never seen a rental at $15 on there.

That’s the purchase price. Rentals are $6 or less.

This is actually my biggest concern with the Xbox Infinity. Under the current Gold structure, there is no way I am going to buy a new Xbox and Xbox Minis that are basically worthless while someone is using the Infinity. On the other hand, if Microsoft removed things like Netflix and Hulu from Gold, then I would probably go all in and buy an Infinity and two Minis.
Honestly, I love my Xbox 360, but Gold will be one of the deciding factors of whether I stay with Xbox or get a PS4 next gen. I have been able to justify Gold because all my friends are on Xbox, but with a new generation comes a fresh start, and I can see a lot of us switching over to the PS4 if everything is still locked behind Gold.

The 928 was long overdue. Verizon needed another solid WP8 device, and waiting until the fall would be too long.

What is amazing to me is the networks figured out the answer – Hulu. But then they saw how much people loved it and got afraid of it and are trying to quietly kill it.
If Hulu would just get rid of the commercials and offer live programming of all the OTA channels in addition to what they already offer, they could easily charge $20 a month and people would pay it.

But it is 3 less than 928, so it’s obviously inferior.

Because the $5 plan would include internet streams on all devices as well as on-demand content of anything that is previously aired. I love my OTA antenna, but it doesn’t do me much good if I want to watch live ABC on my iPad right now.

Come on, ABC. You’re so close. Just let me give you $5 every month, and you give me live ABC, and on-demand previously aired content without commercials. Deal?
Oh, and I will also give you $5 for an ESPN package and $5 for the Disney package.
$15 a month, straight to you, for all ABC’s content live with commercials and on-demand without commercials. Deal?

Yeah if you just use it for Office files then 25gb is overkill. I use mine for family pics and whatnot, so I’m at about 12gb used and it’s filling up rapidly.
