Xbox Live Issues


It seems Microsoft didn't anticipate the sudden increase in users this holiday season. A few days ago, Matt had problems just getting into Xbox Live. Today, I had to end my Call of Duty 4 session due to intermittent XBL issues; other people confirmed they were having the same problems. Oh well...I need to go work out anyway.

My Must-Have Gear While Travelling

Here is a list of some electronic gear I brought with me on my last work trip (some I carried on the plane, some went out ahead of me on one of our travel busses):

Xbox 360: Not much needs to be said here.

Laptop: Same with this one.

Halo 3 Online Co-op

A few months ago, there were rumors about online co-op, but no solid information. Just before Halo 3's release, the rumors were confirmed. After playing Halo 3 co-op on my LAN last night, I have to say that it doesn't disappoint.

Getting it to work is pretty simple—go into the Game Lobby, choose Campaign, and choose whether to use System Link or Xbox Live; there is the option of hosting a game or joining an existing one. Since we were in the same room, there was no need for us to use headsets last night, but I'll post more on this later after we try co-op on Xbox Live.

When Is the Right Time to Buy? - Holding Off on the Latest Gadget

It's happened to everyone... that gut-wrenching, horrifying feeling you get when the shiny new gadget you JUST bought a month ago drops in price or is replaced by something better. Look at iPhone owners. You can't tell me those that picked up 8GB iPhones at $599 didn't feel a bit used when Apple lowered the price to $399 only 2 months after it was launched. Sure, that $100 in-store credit helped soften the blow, but no doubt everyone probably wishes they had waited those few months before buying.

PS3's Virtual 'Home' Delayed

Bad news for PS3 owners...

Looking forward to setting up your new digital digs in the upcoming "Virtual Home" world coming to the Playstation Network? Well real-estate still isn't for sale, and it won't be for a while.

In another embarrassing blow for Sony, the much touted "Virtual Home" has been delayed until Spring 2008 according to Kazuo Hirai's keynote address at the Tokyo Game Show today. What a way to kick off your first major public appearance as the new chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment... by announcing a delay.
