Weekly Wrap Up

I have settled here over in England but am currently on a Dial-Up connection so it will be hard to post until I find a hotspot. So here’s a bunch of posts in one!

This week’s top Stories:

Xbox 360 Elite SKU Officially Announced by Microsoft

Yes the Rumors were proven to be true when Microsoft released the final details for the Elite 360 this week. The system will of course come in a sleek black case along with a black wireless controller and headset, and will include HDMI and an HDMI cable. The SKU will also come with a new 120gb hard drive along with a Data Transfer Cable* which allows transfer of data (who would have guessed?) between the new HDD and the original 20gb version. Contrary to many rumors, the console will not come with 65nm chips, built in wifi, or a built in HDDVD drive. This Xbox 360 will retail in the US for $479.99 USD and will be released on April 29th, 2007.

*Data Transfer Cable details: The cable will only allow data to be transferred from a 20gb HDD to a new 120gb HDD, not vice versa. Once the data has been transfered, it will be erased on the 20gb HDD. The system will only allow data to be transferred from one HDD to the 120gb, so if you try to put saves from a second HDD onto the new one using this cable, it will overwrite the first 20gb HDD’s data. [Lame!]

Grand Theft Auto IV Trailer Released

The long awaited GTA IV spilled a few of it’s beautiful guts this week with this minute long trailer which can be checked out here. The trailer shows the new venue of the game which will take place in the classic streets of Liberty City. This one is pretty much self explanatory so go check out that trailer!

Official Gears of War Xbox Live Tourney Announced

Just scroll down to check out Ali’s story on this. I’m just glad I’ll be back in the states in time to rock this tourney! Too bad I’ll have no access to an Xbox 360 until then…

The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Released

As you know if you regularly read this blog, the expansion pack for Oblivion, Shivering Isles was released on Monday of this week. While i got some quality time with this title before shipping off to the U.K., I will definitelybe playing it nonstop when I get back! If you don’t already know, Shivering Isles adds 30+ hours of new content to TES IV, including an entirely new continent which is 1/4 the size of Cryodill. It also allows players to embark on an all new main quest and adds tons of new items and weapons to the game.

That’s all I have for now, I will try to post at least once a day, but I don’t know if that is really going to fly until i find some broadband access. Until next time,

    You need to locate the correct shoe that you are looking for. For instance, if you are needing a shoe for a dancing or fitness course, heading with a brand name like Danskin footwear is a terrific choice. Whilst you may not uncover the brand name or fashion you want in shops, with on the internet buying, you really should get specifically what you want.
