2K announced today that BioShock has gone Gold. BioShock is a highly anticipated video game that will be available at stores in North America on August 21, 2007 and in Europe beginning August 24, 2007.
Also a playable demo has been release right now on XBL, weighting it a 1.35GB. So get on to live and download it now to see what all the fuss is about!
Update: How to play hard mode in the bioshock demo
When you start the demo you will notice that you can not select the "Hard" mode, but there is a way to work round it.
Before starting the demo, go to your gamer profile in the dashboard and then change your default game settings. Go to general, then change your difficulty to hard.
Now when you start the demo, hard should be highlighted when you have the option to select your difficulty. Don't move the cursor or you will not be able to select hard again, unless you go back (B).
Buy Bioshock for US$ 49.90 (~25.30 GBP)

British Telecom, in partnership with Microsoft, could announce a deal that brings IPTV to Xbox 360 owners in the UK.
According to our sources, only subscribers to BT in the UK will be able access Xbox 360 IPTV services. Microsoft currently powers BT’s Vision initiative through its Merdiaroom middleware solution.
While BT is unable to confirm exclusivity - and Microsoft has contacted 360 Gamer to deny that any such deal is in initially in the offering - currently no other broadcaster or internet service provider is confirmed to be working on Xbox 360 IPTV with Microsoft in the UK, with BT's closest competitor VIrgin, not due to launch IPTV until mid-2008. And, with BT Vision currently served via Microsoft Mediaroom (a software solution to deliver broadcasts) the agreement between the two companies solidifies an already close relationship.
Speaking exclusively to 360 Gamer, a British Telecom spokesperson stated: “Online gaming is a market we have targeted heavily for our BT Total Broadband service, with many tens of thousands of gamers already enjoying the UK's best performing ADSL broadband service."
He continued by saying that, “for many families, videogames consoles happily share space in the living room. The hardware is not the issue - what is the issue is the service, and delivering the all-important choice, convenience and control that consumers want.”
In offering IPTV through a partnership with Microsoft, any telecommunications giant would be in a position to buy Xbox 360s direct from Microsoft, and offer a console fully equipped to watch and record free-to-air, paid and on-demand television content to customers, without the need to pay for a set-top-box.

Update: Microsoft has confirmed the addition of HDMI ports to all newly manufactured Xbox 360 premium consoles. "Yes, we are offering an HDMI port for Xbox 360 simply as another choice in Xbox 360 owners' games and entertainment experience," a Microsoft rep told Shacknews in an e-mailed statement. "Retailers are gradually introducing HDMI-enabled Xbox 360s into the channel to meet demand."
Regarding the possibility of an HDMI output on the $279.99 SKU, the Microsoft rep said, "We have not announced any plans to add HDMI to the Xbox 360 Core System." Microsoft would not reveal whether any other additions had been made to newly available Xbox 360 models, such as the inclusion of a 65nm process. "We are constantly updating the console's more than 1700 internal components and therefore will not comment on details of specific components or manufacturing processes," the rep added.
Original Story: Shacknews community member Magus reported finding an HDMI port on an Xbox 360 premium console he purchased today at a Target store in Atlanta, Georgia. The newly discounted prices for Xbox 360 SKUs went into effect today, with the premium selling for $349.99.
The HDMI output was introduced as a feature of the black Xbox 360 Elite this spring, but Microsoft made no mention of including the feature in upcoming iterations of the premium or core Xbox 360 SKUs. An image of the HDMI-enabled console provided a manufacturing date of July 4, 2007. The documentation included with the console contained an illustration of the HDMI port as well, and referenced the option to use an HDMI cable for video output.
Microsoft has said the upcoming Xbox 360 Halo 3 Special Edition console will include an HDMI port when it is released in September.

My 360 died on me 2 days ago, I haven't sent it in yet and I hope when I do send it in it will come back with a HDMI port.

Major Nelson sends word of several rummagings on Xbox Live this morning, including two (US only, sigh...) new demos and a (very) minor system update.
The system update, says Nelson, prepares your Xbox 360 for the wireless guitars that are being released in a few months time - and that's it.
As for the demos that we can't play, they'd be the lovely-looking Eternal Sonata and the officially rubbish Vampire Rain. The first weighs in at just under 600 MB and is yours for sampling if you're sneaky enough to have a US or Japanese XBL Silver account.
As for when we'll get the Eternal Sonata demo, Atari says it'll arrive on the European Marketplace in September, sighting good old localisation work as the reason for its tardy arrival.
UPDATE: Atari's UK op has contacted CVG to let us know that in order to get the Eternal Sonata demo onto Euro XBL Marketplace, it's required to translate the demo into French, Italian, Spanish and German first. That, apparently, is the reason for the delay on our end.

Developer NinjaBee has announced it's working on an expansion pack to popular XBLA title, Band of Bugs.
Dubbed Red Kingdom, it will shift the focus of the turn-based strategical action down into the Southern Kingdom, and will let you control new main characters with nifty abilities. You'll also be able to take them to a higher level than before, control two new troop types - artillery and cavalry - and earn more achievements. Thank God.
Red Kingdom will be playable in single-player or co-operatively, as well as in multiplayer battles with your friends on Live. The level editor has been spruced up, too, with added desert tile sets and new items - like stone huts, rock formations, and all sorts of things insects normally crawl out from under.
And in an effort to promote its hard work, NinjaBee is running a design-a-level competition. Just post some screenshots and a description of your creation over on the official forums, and regulars cast their votes on it - whittling the entire list down to three entries. From there, responsibility is passed over to NinjaBee staff, who will pick an overall winner and dish 4,000 Microsot points out to them, along with a t-shirt.
Band of Bugs was released in June on Live Arcade, and challenges you with leading a group of insects with different abilities strategically around a map, trouncing anything that gets in your way.

German ratings board USK has spilled the beans on a Warhammer: Mark of Chaos port for Xbox 360.
The listing was produced to cover a demo supposedly on show at Games Convention 2007 in Leipzig, which takes place between 23rd - 28th August.
Koch Media is said to be the publisher, but was unavailable to comment at time of writing.
Warhammer: Mark of Chaos is a real-time strategy title based around the popular Games Workship franchise. It was developed by Black Hole Entertainment for PC and released last November to middle of the road reviews.
Put simply, RTS fans have better titles to pick from on the PC, although die-hard Warhammer followers will find it to be the best recreation of the tabletop game to date.

A demo for Stranglehold is now available to download from Xbox Live, weighing in at a hefty 1.28 GB.
It gives you the chance to jump into the boots of tough-nut cop Tequila, and blast your way through a marketplace area as you take down the baddies - destroying absolutely everything as go.
Midway hopes the cinematic gunfight will give you a juicy mouthful of what the Hong Kong-inspired shooter is all about.
The game is based around John Woo film Hard Boiled, and both he and actor Chow Yun-Fat have leant their considerable talent to the project - estimated to be one of the most costly projects around at USD 30 million.
The game is due out on 7th September on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Following yesterday's news that Microsoft slashed the price points of all of its Xbox 360 consoles in the US, there's more good news for North American consumers in the form of a cut in Canada as well.
The new pricing structure is fairly straightforward, with the Elite now costing CAD 499.99, the Premium weighing in at CAD 399.99 and the Core dropping to CAD 299.99, and it's been timed to coincide with the launch of the latest EA Madden title.
The Halo 3 Xbox 360 will retail in the region for CAD 449.99 and will hit the shelves there in September.
This move will add further weight to the calls from fans for a price drop in Europe, despite Microsoft's continued insistence that no move is planned.

Though Ars Technica is quick to label this a rumor, what they heard from an "inside source" sounds awfully similar to what Engadget's otherwise reliable tipster told them last March, though a bit more specific. Ars says, "a new version of the Core and Premium [Xbox 360] hardware in late August or September ... will include an HDMI port." Microsoft has never said that the Elite would be alone in having an HDMI port – in fact, the Halo 3-themed Xbox 360 will come packed with an HDMI port this September though, notably, no HDMI cable.
Of course, it's presumed that this hardware revision would also include the 65nm chips we've all been waiting for, as well as quieter DVD drives (quieter than the BenQ VAD6038?). But how will prospective purchasers discern which retail box includes the new hardware? There will apparently be a small "call out" on the packaging so savvy buyers can take their pick and casual shoppers can drain the existing inventory. C'est la vie.

TheTriforce.com has announced the launch of The Unofficial Official Sensible Soccer World Cup, in which the game’s current World Champion Simon Byron will defend his title for the very first time.
31 challengers are being sought to contend the first ever Xbox Live Unofficial Official Sensible Soccer World Cup, with representatives from the best gaming websites and blogs the world over contesting this, the ultimate videogame accolade.
The last Sensible World of Soccer World Cup was held by then-publisher Renegade Software in the City Pride Pub, back in 1994 when Simon Byron beat off stiff competition from a bunch of videogame luminaries. As this was the last time the World Cup was held officially, Simon’s reign as Champion has lasted for 13 glorious years, during which time he’s enjoyed intercourse with a number of impressionable videogame groupies.
But with the impending release of Sensible Soccer on Xbox Live Arcade, it’s time to lay this on the line, along with the women.
32 players from around the world are being sought. With Simon Byron’s place as current Champion guaranteed, and one spot being given to a Triforce.com user, and a One Life Left listener, that leaves 29 places up for grabs.
This is the first time that the Official World Championship title has been offered in 13 years. If you want to bag a place for your website or publication, please apply stating why you think your idiotic readers are good enough to face the very best Sensible Soccer player the world has ever seen, do drop us a line.
The Official Thread of the Unofficial Official Sensible Soccer World Cup can be found here. If you’re an ordinary member of the public who would like to take part, let us know why you think you’re up to the challenge.

Update: The Challengers as they stand:
1. Simon Byron (current World Champion)
2. TheTriforce.com
