NGP features two proprietary card slots for memory storage, games {Joystiq}

Jan 27th 2011 4:55PM Wouldn't it be amazing if one of those ports was hiding MicroHDMI?

File size restriction currently keeping Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath from XBLA {Joystiq}

Sep 28th 2010 2:09PM I wonder why the "and that is without any updates" part matters. Lara Croft is listed at 2GB and we all know that (supposedly) there will be both DLC and a Co-Op patch released for that game. I can't imagine how they're gonna do that without pushing up to and past 2.1

I suppose Lara Croft could be 1.91 and the system just rounds up. Who knows.

$99 Xbox Live Gold Family plan available this November {Joystiq}

Jun 22nd 2010 11:59AM I wonder how this account will interact with EA's online server nonsense.

I set up a child account for my son under my account, but since he's currently under 13, he's completely locked out of playing any of EA's games online.

It's a pretty big restriction that no one talks about.

Rumor: Slimmed-down Xbox 360 motherboard images leaked {Joystiq}

Mar 17th 2010 12:59PM The current 360 Motherboard has a port on the 'top' for the hard drive interface, which appears to be completely absent on this board.

I'd imagine the second SATA port is for an internalized hard drive.

One thing I'm not sure of though, is what all the ports along the back are. Obviously there's power, the video output, USB, and Ethernet, but I'm guessing the little black one is an optical audio out separate from the A/V cable That would still leave one more port back there.

PSA: Scrub your gaming console's memory before selling {Joystiq}

Jan 21st 2010 5:11PM Dear Joystiq:

PLEASE stop shoehorning a joke into every single news post. Often it's there, other times, it just hurts to read.

Pachter: Netflix on Wii won't matter as much as on other consoles {Joystiq}

Jan 14th 2010 10:56AM I agree.

There's just not as much motivation to put the Wii online like there is with 360 and PS3. Something like Netflix streaming coming out will likely motivate more of the owners to put them online, but I still don't think we'll see the online rate skyrocket.

This is exactly what's wrong with hanging on Pachter's words. It's his job, but even as a 'nobody' I feel like I have a better handle on this crap than he does.

Xbox Game Room bringing arcades back to Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live users [update 3] {Joystiq}

Jan 7th 2010 12:32PM Am I really the first person to say:

"Wait, I can buy a dual license but still not play the game on my Zune HD?" That seems like it should be a given.

Joyswag: 1 year of Xbox Live Gold & a pile of XBLA games [update] {Joystiq}
