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.

Modder Phil Herlihy is an avid Mac and Xbox fan who happened to have some spare 360 shells lying around and was itching to make Apple love Microsoft. Believe it or not, that dumbass took his old PowerBook G4 apart and put it into that ugly Xbox 360 casing.
It’s impressive but I really don’t get the point as DIY projects involving mods cramming big stuffs to get inside smaller ones. But buddy, you could have still managed a little better with that dangling DVD drive.

At last, you can see some colorful controllers from now on. Not that there aren’t any, but this one is for the record. Microsoft has planned to do a paintjob to its controllers with bright red and green. If you ask me, the green one looks slimy.
Microsoft will release these limited edition Xbox 360 controllers on September 30th. The red controller comes with a play and charge kit and is priced at $65 whereas the green one comes for $55.

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.

The PC-XB01 case might just solve your Xbox 360 overheating problems and keep it cool and keep it quite. The dual 70mm fans on the Xbox 360 are replaced with one 120mm ultra quiet fan, with optional water cooling and thick, sound-proofing slabs of foam to quiten that annoying disc drive. But all love for this mod gets lost when we come to know it is four times the size of an Xbox 360.
A Piece of advice! if you are done for with those RROD’S and other Xbox 360 crap, seriously buy a PS3.

According to September 2007 hardware sales compiled by NPD, the X360 topped Nintendo’s Wii, then followed DS and others. The following is the breakdown.
Xbox 360–528,000
Wii–501,000
DS–496,000
PSP–285,000
PS2–215,000
PS3–119,000
There’s a big difference between the Xbox 360 and PS3 sales. But Sony has shown good profit this time. Mostly there will be good improvement in sales in PS3 very soon.

Well if you have heard some rumors regarding the Arcade version then here’s one such. Well we are not sure if this is true as though there is a pic above it looks as though the word ‘Arcade’ has been photoshopped by a noob.
Well Anyways if this rumor is true then, it seems like the Core version of the Xbox360 will be soon discontinued. A new version will be replaced in its place- Xbox360 Arcade. It will be pretty much similar to the core version with same looks and features except for a wireless controller and a 256MB memory card and last but not the least it includes 5 Xbox Live Arcade games for free which are absolutely free.
