Microsoft has announced plans to bundle a downloadable copy of Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s musical shooter Child Of Eden with the current Kinect hardware offering, which includes Kinect Adventures. Launching in all Xbox Live regions excluding Japan, where Child Of Eden has yet to be released, the new bundle will begin appearing in stores next week for the same price as the existing one, “available in limited quantities and while supplies last”. While Child Of Eden is also playable with a traditional Xbox 360 controller, it is widely regarded as a highlight of Kinect’s software line-up. Our review, which you can read through the link below, labelled the game “a convincing example of how motion control can breathe new life into a niche genre” and, “more than that, a masterclass in audio design and the emotive power of CG imagery

Bans modified consoles surfacing, this is what we read on various forums, including that of team members or Xecuter begin mass coming reporting ban consoles. For now we can see that many Xbox Slim with FW of LT +1.91 affected, readers of these have been released by the method of suicide bomber or the Russians "Sptunik" we do not know if a causal relationship with certainty but for now they are the most reported, although Phat are also concerned there is less ski on them. the exiles from China, Chile, Spain, England, the States .... Everywhere in fact. Between the ban started in profile and there is little a priori ban the console starts, Microsoft has decided to sweep the board before the release of the big hits year-end. Regarding any of the consoles marked ski xval indicate if the console was clean or not before the ban.

It turns out that Walmart's "rollback" of the Xbox 360 4GB Kinect bundle, dropping it to $249 ($50 off its current price), was an error. A notice posted by Walmart acknowledges "the price was mistakenly labeled as a rollback," a term the retailer uses for permanent price drops.
The silver lining here is that Walmart will honor the $249 price at retail until Monday, September 5, or while supplies last. There will be no rainchecks on the offer.
Microsoft informed us last week that it does not discuss pricing plans in advance, but that "Walmart made an independent decision to implement this temporary price cut."http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/29/walmart-rollback-of-xbox-360-4gb-kinect-bundle-to-249-an-erro/

NestopiaX v1.3 is released. NestopiaX is a NES emulator for the XBOX. This is a port of the pc NES emu nestopia and is now the best NES emu on XBOX. It also plays the famicom disc system games at full framerate.
New in this release:
Support for R.O.B the robot emulation via xbox controller has been implemented into this
version of nestopiax!!!.
When playing gyromite or stack up simply go into controller options, then general settings
and change controller 2 type to R.O.B the robot and leave controller 1 as gamepad.
The controls are as follows for gyromite:
Start, then a will raise and lower the blue columns
Start, then b will raise and lower the red columns.
a flash will follow after performing these actions, this is normal, the nes "flashed"
this information back to rob when performing those controller actions to simulate the movements
needed to play gyromite correctly with him.
as for Stack up, thats a diff beast since this game relied on colored blocks stacked up on
rob to play. but either way both of these games are now supported via R.O.B the robot
emulation.
NEStopiaX has now been implemented with "Pixel Perfect" options in the Main Menu and
in-game menu while playing a game. It can be found in Video Options in the newly named "Adjust Screen/Pixel Perfect Options"
you will be faced with three choices, hit x for perfect pixel, y to reset the screen back to default
and b to exit after making your choice.
Other small changes in this release are minimal and only include small changing of the wording in the emulator menu. nothing special,
things like Vs. Coin 1 and 2 were simply changed to "Insert Vs. Coin 1" Insert Vs. Coin 2.
Enjoy~!
Huge thanks to +T+ for all the help with the pixel perfect settings~!
will there be more nestopiax's in the future? You bet! 
There's even more down the road!
Download: NestopiaX v1.3

Microsoft has been slower than Sony to jump on the 3D gaming bandwagon -- not surprising considering it isn't the one desperately pushing the televisions needed to experience them -- but today the company confirmed rumors that Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary will be playable in 3D. Joystiq experienced a demo at Gamescom in Germany, and reports that it only works with the game's updated graphics mode, and that the game's producer claims the framerate will stay consistent even in 3D. While there are already a number of Xbox 360 games that support 3DTVs, this is the first one we've heard developed by Microsoft, although Epic revealed earlier this month that the Microsoft-produced Gears of War 3 will support 3D. that's good news for gamers that have made the extra dimensional jump already, while those of us playing in 2D can hopefully still see performance improvements, especially while playing co-op -- we always bring a wingman / shoulder to cry on for The Flood.http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/27/microsoft-confirms-3d-support-in-halo-ce-remake-for-xbox-360/

Team Xecuter has just indicated that according to their follow-up, new Xbox S produced and sold in the United States have two types of readers, a liteon 1071 drive is a Hitachi 0500.! Nothing is more relevant in this ad but it appears that 'Fortunately for the stage, the new liteon 1071 almost all (90%) of the chip and not MXIC Winbond! Something confirmed by Ubergeek, and Podger Xecuter team of jungle. That's not all because, according to Podger new liteon 1071 have a new lens with new calibration data in the firmware 1071, when the PCB is the same to him. So good news if future readers all have MXIC chip. Indeed, it will avoid the troubles of the method "Unlock bomber" makes more and more havoc especially with the scarcity of replacement PCB. The results of this method are very random and unexpected (DVD read error, error opening drive after a few days of operation, drawer "paralyzed" as well readers dead ...) The Team Xecuter also said that the alliance had made progress with the Hitachi 0500 drive, without giving details.

c4eva had indicated on their IRC channel as the Lite Touch Plus 1.92 firmware was over. Remember that this new firmware is for all the liteon slim, including the new liteon 1071. C4E also indicates that the current tests are going very well and no problems were experienced at the moment, the release is very close to his opinion. To return to this new firmware, it still does not know what it is actually intended. Some say he should be able to correct reading errors such as "play DVD" that some people have continued to see their flash liteon slim. However nothing is on about this, and the alliance c4eva said nothing so necessary a wait & see ... Source: http://c4evaspeaks.com

The PlayStation 3 may have NFL Sunday Ticket but the Xbox 360 still has exclusive access to ESPN3'sslate of games, shows and replays, and today the app was updated with a new look and a few new features. Viewers can designate their favorite sports and teams to bring related content right to the front, while a new mini-guide gives easy access to other streams while you watch. If you're trying to keep track of more than one game there's also support for split screen viewing (with independent control of each stream) and upgraded voice control for Kinect owners. Other tweaks include a college football scoreboard to keep track of all the games at once, reminders, live alerts on score changes and the addition of ESPN's BottomLine. Unchanged is the restriction that you need to subscribe to a TV provider that includes ESPN3 in its package, but if you do have the service (and shell out for XBL, of course) it should be available the next time you load up your console. http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/25/x...ol-split-scre/

The new-look Gamestation.co.uk and GAME.co.uk websites are now live.
And furthermore, the retailer is celebrating the arrival of the new Gamestation look with a string of offers, the leading one of which is the chance to grab a 250GB Xbox 360 for just £100.
At the time of writing the machine is still showing up at £179.99 when put into the basket, but the site says that prices will “change randomly throughout the day”.
A host of community features have been added to the site, including the chance to earn ‘Accolades’ for fulfilling certain tasks. There’s also the chance to interact with other gamers and to review games.
Click & Collect is now also possible and users are able to link their Gamestation Elite cards to their site profile.
“For months we've been busy building a site that you can be proud of, built for gamers and built by gamers,” the blurb reads. “You've seen the basics, but now everything is in place and it's ready for you to call your own. We've got some killer deals to celebrate the official launch and they're just for you.
“So check out the official launch of Gamestation.co.uk where you'll find the best games at great prices but also, you'll be able to talk to gamers from around the world in our your community.”

New bundle deals and one of its strongest Q4 line-ups will make Xbox 360 the best selling console in Europe, Microsoft told MCV.
The firm has dismissed the need to follow Nintendo and Sony by reducing Xbox 360’s price or developing new-look hardware. The platform holder says its line-up of games – including Gears of War 3, Forza 4 and Halo: Anniversary – will realise its dream of being No.1 across Europe
“We certainly think the line-up is strong, and we will continue to partner and work with key retailers across Europe to drive the right value for the right package for the right time,” Robin Burrowes, Xbox LIVE marketing manager for EMEA, told MCV.
“We have done that historically, where we do a number of bundles and deals. Those sort of bundles and deals will be part of how we get to that No.1 position.
“We are also pretty bullish about getting to that No.1 position on the strength of our blockbuster games, with things we are launching like Gears and Forza.“
And we are working really closely with a number of third-party publishers on games such as Modern Warfare 3, FIFA 12 and Battlefield 3. These big, big titles are coming in the next few months. There’s certainly going to be a lot of attention in that traditional space.
“Then we look at the second wave of Kinect titles, like Kinect Sports 2 and Dance Central 2.
“Selfishly from an Xbox Live point of view, a lot of those Kinect games have far better Xbox Live capabilities. It all gives us a strong sense of confidence that we can get to that No.1 position.”

Valve boss Gabe Newell wants Steamworks integration built into the Xbox version of Counter Strike: Global Offensive, but has said that Microsoft must relax its restrictions on the service first.
Steamworks integration, including PC/PS3 cross-platform play, was included in the PS3 version of Valve's last game, Portal 2, but was absent from the Xbox version. Newell believes that Microsoft's acceptance of Steamworks is vital to achieve platform parity with future valve games.
"We certainly can deliver a lot of value to customers to the degree to which we have those capabilities," Newell told Eurogamer.
"The PS3, obviously we made a lot more progress with that. The PS3 customers of Portal 2 are going to start to see the benefits of that with Portal 2 DLC coming out in September. So we'd really like to be able to do that for Xbox customers as well."
Whilst the initial debut of Steamworks on console was marred by the hacking scandal which brought the PlayStation Network to its knees on the day of Portal 2's release, Newell is confident that it improves customer experience.
"The main thing is having Microsoft get comfortable with it and let us do it," Newell explained.
"Right now, there's a huge amount of updates and free content we've been able to deliver to people who have The Orange Box that we haven't been able to deliver to the Xbox because of the restrictions that have been placed on us on Xbox Live.
"We'd love to see those relaxed. Other developers on the PS3 are starting to benefit from Sony's more open approach. Hopefully that will help Microsoft see that's a good strategy for making customers happy, that the barbarians won't tear down the walls of Xbox and turn it into some chaotic wasteland."
One possible motivation for Valve is trying to engage customers with its fledgling microtransaction store, powered by the proprietary Steam Wallet. It is this system which Valve has been using to monetise the now free-to-play Team Fortress 2 on PC, allowing player trading and store-bought purchases. Whether the company has a similar model in mind for Counter Strike is unclear, but Sony has already set a precedent for free-to-play titles with its exclusive EVE Online tie-in from CCP, Dust 514.
"Let's just say that with Sony at least they have policies that allow us to build the game the way we want," CCP CTO Halldor Fannar told E3 in June. "That is one of the reasons why we've gone with PSN.
"Sony allows us to use our systems. Microsoft has Xbox Live. They're very strict on that. There are a lot of issues we run into. It may be a basic thing people don't realise, but with Dust and Eve on Sony's network, we can allow them to chat together. Voice chat, text chat, that's all one world.
"One of the reasons for the partnership with Sony is because they're opening up new ways to do these things. We're going to be managing most of it. We're using PlayStation just for credentials, stuff like that. Then it's all our stuff.
"With our agreement with Sony they seem to be fine with our three month expansion cycle. They've been looking at the MMO space for a while, trying to understand why something like that hasn't still happened on the console. They're coming to terms with it. There are certain things they have to relax just to allow these things to function."
Counter Strike: Global Offensive will be playable to the public for the first time in Europe at theEurogamer Expo at Earls Court in London, 22-25 September, 2011.

 All right, so the Xbox is kind of tanking in Japan, and has been since day one. Microsoft has introduced a new bundle that seems custom-designed for reclaiming the shelf space that retailers have reportedly been taking away from the platform: one with the Monster Hunter Frontier logo on it.
The 29,800 yen ($389) bundle includes a 250GB Xbox 360, a download code forMonster Hunter Frontier Online, and free armor and weapons. Here's where it gets rough: the code allows you to play until hunter rank 2, so ... it's really more of a demo. Still, there will be people who buy this whole thing (which costs the same as a plain 250GB Xbox) just for the in-game items.http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/24/microsoft-goes-for-broke-in-japan-with-xbox-360-monster-hunter-b/
