If you have recently tried to access Xbox Live, you will get the following error message:
“Some Xbox LIVE content is temporarily unavailable. You can still access your profile, communicate with other players, and play games online.
The content will automatically appear when it’s available.
Status Code: 8007274c”
Although it states you can ‘play games online’ a few users have been complaining on popular Xbox forums that some games, including Modern Warfare 2, can not be accessed. The same problem doesn’t seem to apply to all from what we’ve heard so far but it’s still causing problems for some.
No proper confirmation but we assume this problem is being caused by the recent Xbox Live update which included Twitter and Facebook integration, Last.fm, Zune, and news / video channels. Read the rest of this entry »

Normally, I’m not one to make bold statements in the headlines of my articles; as nothing is 100% and much of what I say is often subjective, I’d rather pose a question. In other words, I’d normally title this article, “Will Consumers Consider the PS3 Slim a Better Option than the Xbox 360?” or something to that effect. But the more I look at it, the more difficult it... Read More

According to Taiwan’s DigiTimes, Sony have recently “placed significant orders for key Sony PS3 components” from local manufacturers, waaaaay above the quantities they normally source. Interesting.
They say it’s enough parts to produce one million PS3 consoles in the third quarter of 2009, which is apparently twice as many as were manufactured last quarter.

First of all, we’d like to congratulate and to thank all of you who’s been helping and supporting us in the last half of the year! This post is the 50th! Hope you like it!
One game I was expecting to see at this year’s E3 was the reboot of the classic 16-bit Splatterhouse, for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Sadly, it was noticeably absent from the show, and got me wondering if we were... Read More

Gamers sit up and take notice! Do you, as a gamer, want your mom or grandpa to be an audience for game developers? Do you even want to see geriatrics flailing their flabby arms around or doing mock yoga in front of the television? The answer better be no, unless of course you are looking forward to this possible hellish future of console gaming. The runaway success of the Wii is endangering gaming... Read More

Microsoft’s Xbox 360 may have the movie monopoly in the UK, with downloadable content available from Paramount, Universal and Warner, but Sony is inching ahead in the US.
Sony has signed a deal with NBC Universal which was the last major studio to allow downloadable content on the PS3.

EA Sports President and former Xbox boss Peter Moore thinks both Microsoft and Sony will be looking to go one step further than the Wii, in terms of building upon Nintendo’s success in motion-controlled gaming.
And if anybody is authorised to know about such developments, it would be Moore, having put in time as Senior Executive at Sega and Xbox Ambassador at Microsoft before his current role.
