Xbox Aquarium Casemod: w00t!

October 24th, 2009

Alright, your Xbox 360 can easily play the latest there is in the market flawlessly and doesn’t show any signs of running out. But can it swim? Atleast in your bedroom aquarium tank? No? Why don’t we give it a try?

Xbox Aquarium Casemod: w00t!

I am not much of science student but when you do put it down in plain english, its pretty easy to understand. For example, due to the non-conducting cooling properties of mineral oil this Xbox mod will run as good as any other in the market. B-rad has done one awesome job on this baby. Everything is immersed except the DVD player and the hard drive.

Xbox 360 Jasper Motherboard with 512MB to be in US stores

June 17th, 2009

The new Xbox 360 Jasper motherboard with 512MB internal MU is soon going to hit the stores in US. It’s got a 4gbit(giga bits) Samsung NAND chip inside. This is twice the size of the old one that was of 256MB of internal storage and had a good efficient design.

The motherboard still seems like a Jasper-model, only real change seems to be the NAND. The extra space is all used to give you a larger internal memory unit. The original Arcade Jasper has a 2gbit NAND and gave users an 214MBytes of usable internal memory, guess the new one should give you 496Mbytes of usable internal MU.

Xbox 360 ‘Lips’ on the camera

July 12th, 2008

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.

HD-DVD : I seem to have heard it somewhere before…

April 9th, 2008

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.

Microsoft secretly building a look alike Wiimote

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.
