Tech. Xbox Films: The Dork office just got an Xbox 360! Yeah! We were holding off for a while. We're all basically Sony fanboys. But, we broke down due to all the swarming rumors about the lackluster PS3. So far we've gotta say that the Xbox has been amazing. Between the new game play of Fifa 2007 and the continual enjoyment launched from Halo 2, we have no complaints. It's unbelievable. But wait, it gets better.
Yesterday, we were pleased to read the following: "This may sound a bit familiar to those paying close attention, but on November 22nd -- the year anniversary for the Xbox 360 -- Microsoft is announcing something fairly momentus, not for the gaming community, but for the CE industry. The Xbox 360, along with Akimbo, will be among the first mass-market devices able to download high def television programs -- and the first we know of in the states able to download HD movies. The service is called Xbox Live Video, and the fall update enables customers to spend their Microsoft points on standard and HD television from CBS, MTV, Comedy Central, VH1, Turner, and UFC, as well as HD movies from Warner Bros., Paramount, and so on. We're still a little in shock, ourselves, that Microsoft was able to in one fell swoop hit TiVo, Apple, Netflix, and a handful of others, but looking at Live over the last year, the move isn't that massively surprising."
