Xbox 360 eBay Scams
The
Xbox 360 is the hot new toy this
Christmas and everybody wants one, bad. But, some
dirty-rotten-jerks are using this as a chance to
scam folks by selling an
Xbox 360 for a really good price. But, they're only selling a
picture of the
Xbox 360, not the real thing, and they say so in
tiny 'wee letters so folks don't notice it then, after they have their cashola, they disappear. So, if you want an
Xbox 360, watch out for rip-offs!

King Kong Lives!
The award-winning, awesome
King Kong game that's based on the
King Kong movie by
Peter Jackson lets you do more than play the adventure of the
movie, it lets you
save Kong! If you beat the game, then earn
250,000 points when you play it again, you'll be able to save the great ape and send him home to
Skull Island.
Xbox 360 Hackers Get Busted
A trio of
Xbox 360 hackers thought they'd make some extra $$$ by modifying
Xbox 360 game systems to let you play
pirated games. They thought wrong! The
police busted 'em and now the only things they'll be modifying are
license plates.
No NHL Video Games for EA?
EA already has a deal where they're the only company that can make
NFL video games but, when they went for a deal that would make them the only company that can make
NHL games, they got shut down! The NHL
hockey league decided that they wanted
EA and
Take 2 Games (the folks behind the awesome
NBA 2K6 game) to make games for them. So, no exclusive deal for EA!

EA Fixes Buggy Madden 06 Game for PSP
If you snagged a copy of
Madden 06 for the
PSP you had to watch it 'cuz the
Franchise Mode could shut down your PSP. Bummer! But,
EA’s fixing the bug by sending out new, fixed, copies of the game to everybody who bought one. All you have to do is mail your
game, and a note with your
name,
mailing address,
email address, and
ph#, in to:
EA Customer Warranty
Attn: Madden PSP
209 Redwood Shores Parkway
Redwood City, CA 94065

Pokemon vs. Cancer!
The deal is, a doctor found the
gene that causes cancer. The thing is, it's the
POK erythroid
myeloid
ontogenic gene, so he nicknamed it
Pokemon. Nintendo freaked and called the guy up and now he's changed the name to
Zbtb7 instead.
Hackers vs. the Xbox 360!
The
Xbox 360 is basically a
computer, so a bunch of
hackers messed with one and, after a lot of poking around, managed to
hack it, a bit. They did something that let them use an "
extractor tool" to
copy games. The
problem is, the games only work on an
Xbox 360 and burned copies of them don't work at all. So the
hack is useless!

Marvel Comic Book Superhero Lookalikes Online!
The online
role-playing game City of Heroes is famous for letting you make any
superhero you want. But,
Marvel Comics got cranky when folks started making
superheroes that look a lot like
Wolverine,
Daredevil,
The Incredible Hulk, and the rest of the
X-Men! Marvel got some
lawyers and made some noise about a lawsuit but, they just dropped the issue. So,
City of Heroes players can keep playing their fave
Marvel mutant lookalikes online.
What's the Deal With a New Xbox 360 Game Console?
The
Xbox 360 is a smokin' hot
gaming system, but it has a serious
flaw - the CD-reader. It's just a regular
DVD reader that can handle up to
8.5 GB of info per disc. The
Playstation 3 is going with a
Blu-ray disc drive that can hold
45 GB per disc, more than five times as much gaming info! So, rumor is that
Microsoft will release a
new Xbox 360 with an
HD-DVD drive that can handle
30 GB per disc. This means that gamers with an ordinary
Xbox 360 would be hooped when
HD-DVD games come out.
What Video Games are Dropping This Week?
December 20 - Peter Jackson's King Kong for PSP.
December 22 - Crazy Frog for GBA.
December 23 - My Scene Goes Hollywood for PC.
December 23 - Tony Hawk's American Wasteland for PC.
