Let the mods begin: The folks at Llamma.com have a created a disassembly "how-to" for the Xbox 360 HD DVD player add-on.
The Witcher 3 released a special item for its 10th anniversary, and it's hopefully a sneak peek at The Witcher 4's launch plans.
The "New Wild Hunt Release" that they are referring to are the controllers, and wanting to see more stuff like special edition controllers for The Witcher 4.
I just received the xb controller and while it's nice looking, the packaging was a total fail. An unbranded plain brown box. Not even a themed box like Doom got, or at least a regular looking box. Just a plain brown box.
Oh, and a 10th anniversary sticker in the box too.
That sucks about the packaging, I'm glad you like the controller at least. The last controller that I bought I would put back in the box at the end of the gaming session.
Everything this site does is a bait to absorb ad revenue... we need to reform our submission process. We need a quality litmus test.
Vapourware can end up being the stuff of legend, like Rockstar's Agent, Star Wars 1313, or StarCraft: Ghost. Without ever seeing the light of day, these games never risked the possibility of being played and forgotten, and instead live on forever as the subjects of lengthy YouTube essays.
Still, Molyneux's most notable lost game (or tech demo, depending on who you asked at the time) was arguably Project Milo.
I can see the potential of the kinect hardware... its rather impressive tech, but it was just not meant to be for gaming. If anything, MS had a huge missed opportunity to have used it for the AR/VR projects.
You can use the Kinect as an SLS camera for paranormal investigations. So it wasn’t a complete failure.
Remember Star Wars Kinect announcement? Biggest laughable acting seen
"Unfortunately, as we were developing Milo, so the Kinect device was being developed. And they realised that the device that Alex Kipman first showed off would cost $5,000 for consumers to buy.
"So they cost-reduced that device down to such a point, where the field-of-view...I think it was a minuscule field-of-view. In other words, it could only just see what's straight in front of you."
Hmm, exactly what tech was in it, that was cut, affected the development? It was only ever interpreting visual and audio inputs right? The xbox was processing those inputs.
Nor do I see how the field of view thing is relevant to the discussion.
Exactly! Tf kinda BS statement was that? i don't really see how fov is relevant at all, since when do you move all around a room while talking/interacting to someone?
This is entirely untrue. There was never a 5000 dollar Kinect prototype that could somehow use a wider field of view to scan and import generated in-game items and advance AI by over a decade. Anybody that fell for this was a stupid moron child, myself included. Anybody that falls for this lie now is a stupid moron child who doesn't realize that these people *only* know how to lie.
Sora might be one of the most hyped guest characters in fighting games, but these other guest characters are no slouch either.
obviously the drive is designed for internal use of 360 (in case if it is needed later or when HD DVD wins or whatever...), it is just slightly modded to make it work as external...
in case microsoft does want to produce HD DVD xbox360, they can probably do it by having a 15mins change in the production line...
You Xbots crack me up. HD DVD is'nt going too win the format war. Blu-ray is the outright winner so far, can't see that changing anytime in the future.

Wonder how much hotter than the std. DVD drive the HD drive gets? If it's about the same it'd be nice to mod. it to an internal drive.
All we'd need is a firmware update to let it read game disks, and some room in the 360 to hide that adapter board. Connect the USB internally and done.... In theory ;)
I always like seeing dissected electronics.
if microsoft did that than they would defeat the purpose of advertising the xbox as affordable unless they add "another" sku (like sony) and if they made hd-dvd games (as in the games are on hd-dvd disc) that is screwing 14 million people. personally, my box just RRODed and ii could return it within around 8 months and get one of these if they got one. my $0.02
