Remember an announcement made when Microsoft was planning to build a karaoke game called Lips, well the Lips microphone has made a cameo appearance. Gamekyo have reportedly got the snaps and here’s how they look:

There is even a box art and beleive me, it couldn’t get any worse. The microphone itself is a mystery, the glowing LEDs look kind of real but at the sametime look kind of photoshopped (then again, I am not an expert in photography). What do you guys reckon? The LEDs jump according to your voice rhythm and pitch. The microphone is expected to make an appearance in the coming E3.

Most of you people will still regret the day you bought the HD-DVD addon for the Xbox 360. After Bluray made HD DVD bite dust after winning the format war, whats the possible use of this “next generation” format which won’t even be present in present generation. To make matters worse, Microsoft is issuing a software update for the down-the-toilet format on your 360, thats what you call customer support.

Some people over at Xbox.com reckon it will be the last update. Just for the sake of staying ‘updated’ , I will let you know whats in this update. I am sorry if I bring you tears for this.

When has Microsoft ever been on top of great innovations? Google came up with a cool search engine, MS was like - “Hey, thats cool! Lets build something like that”. And as we know, Live Search was born.

Well this time they got some inspiration from the Nintendo Wii. Microsoft is planning to release its own prototype of the Wiimote at the end of this year. Microsoft could clearly see that the top console players had a controller with motion sensitivity while its Xbox 360 controller was umm… well wireless atleast.

Lately we have seen few cool mods like the  Xbox Mini, Xbox 360 Elite Laptop. After some cool-down finally another one of a kind Xbox 360 mod comes. This time what about some chrome, this shiny Xbox 360 case is so gleaming that you could use it as a mirror instead of playing!

The case is up for sale, it will cost you $60 a piece from Extreme-Mods. Unfortunately they forgot to include a matching chrome hard drive cover and a controller replacement shell in the $60 bill! Folks you need to purchase them purchased separately for $25 and $30 respectively.

Ben is back again with the Xbox 360 Elite Laptop. Known for his extraordinary custom jobs on various gadgets, the Elite Laptop is no different.

A quick tutorial on how to connect the new XBox 360 with your Sony PSP. Basically, all you have to do is connect both gaming consoles with a USB cable / USB mini connector, then set the PSP into USB Mode.

Once connected, you can navigate your PSP’s hard drive (or memory card) through the Xbox 360, and view the picture files. Not quite hard DIY, still its really cool.

Few guys over at Xbox-Scene forums are showing Microsoft how to design a console with this beautiful case mod for the original Xbox. By the looks of it clearly shows how the Xbox could have been instead of that ugly black box that it is.
