The New Xbox Experience Replaces the Old One on November 19th

We’ve been trying to keep you up to date on the New Xbox Experience that was set to release this fall. And at their TGS keynote, Microsoft annouced that the fall update, which will encompass the New Xbox Experience, will be released on November 19th. The update is being received with a lot of praise by everyone who has played with it at the Tokyo Game Show. The update radically changes the GUI which I’m sure many fans of the blades will initially be against, but after some time the new intuitive, fluid, and active design should  begin to catch on. Along with a new design, their is tons of new functionality. Some of the major features include ripping games to the HDD, streaming Netflix movies right to your console, and a radically different in-game menu. As we get closer to November 19th, excitement for the update will increase. Get excited.

Sony Has Not Added Rumble To The Sixaxis

The French seem to have been in error because earlier this year we reported that the French PSM had confirmed information about a Sixaxis with rumble and a new technology called TouchSense. However, Dave Karraker came out today and said, “We have not added rumble [to PS3], and have no announcements regarding this feature,”. This means that the Sixaxis will not be receiving this desired feature ( Note: This is a feature from two generations ago). However, the French were right about the TouchSense feature…kinda. Dave Karraker admited that developers were receiving controllers with better motion-sensing and different analog sticks.

We recently sent out to the development community some new prototypes that have a slightly enhanced sensitivity for the analog sticks and the motion sensing within the Sixaxis controller.

He also downplays this news as not a completely new controller and nothing really big. I think that is just because Dave Karraker is weird, but more realistically it is because he does not want to get hopes up.
