I haven’t played World of Warcraft for a while, and while this commercial most likely won’t make me play for long, it sure makes me smile. How can you not like Mr. T??? I mean, c’mon, it looks like he could still come to your house and toss you through a door like on Games People Play.
Xbox Live’s General Manager, Marc Whitten, confirmed that the new update would be released on Tuesday, November 17. Among the new features, which has already been made available to Beta testers, include Facebook, Twitter, Last.FM and Zune support.
The Dashboard update includes:
Xbox Live now has over 20 million active members, with 114% growth in the number of new members joining in 2009. Equally impressive, Live users have made more than one billion downloads.

And once again we have another hilarious, very NSFW review of a game by Yahtzee.
Yahtzee is a British-born, currently Australian-based writer and gamer with a sweet hat and a chip on his shoulder. When he isn't talking very fast into a headset mic he also designs freeware adventure games and writes the back page column for PC Gamer, who are too important to mention us. His personal site is www.fullyramblomatic.com.
Microsoft laid down the banned hammer this week to over 1 million Xbox Live users who have modified their Xbox 360's to play pirated games. This has been an on going thing for most Xbox 360 pirates, but it all came to a head when leaked copies of 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2' made its way to bit torrents.
Users who modified Xbox 360's in order to play pirated games were met with a rude awakening when their gamer tag was banned from using the online service. Xbox Live allows Xbox 360 users to play with friends and other gamers across the world in a variety of different games. It has a yearly subscription fee of $50 and Microsoft has the discretion of banning users for a week, month, or permanently for violating their terms. So the banned offenders my just be out of $50 unless Microsoft grows a heart somewhere down the line and reverses their decision........... Good luck!
Its said that Activision may have exhorted Microsoft to enact the bans due to all the leaked copies that were being used on Xbox Live.
I do have friends who have modded their Xbox 360, and I've always felt that they were playing a dangerous game (not to mention illegal). I've never thought it was worth it to risk getting banned from Xbox Live, because that is a HUGH part of the fun of having an Xbox 360. Playing friends online is a very big deal to me, and a deciding factor if I buy a game for the PS3 or the Xbox 360. If the game doesn't have a good online content, then I get it for the PS3. If it has major online gaming content, then Xbox 360 wins.
So you Xbox 360 pirates who haven't been banned yet. I'm not here to judge, but you might want to reconsider that mod!!!

So were you one of them?
Give your review if you got it!!!
With today’s launch of Windows 7, Microsoft is expanding the “I’m a PC” marketing campaign. And I have to say that it’s very effective. The “Windows 7 Was My Idea” commercial will start making the rounds starting today.
Take a look…
Sony has just announced the new 250GB PS3 and soon. November 3rd it should be available. Read the press release here.
Travel behind closed doors at Tokyo Game Show 2009 as Morgan Webb gets to try Project Natal, the new motion control technology from Microsoft, with Kudo Tsunoda the project's creative director.
Plus there’s the added bonus of seeing Morgan Webb jump around wearing a little dress. Go ahead and call me a pig, you all are thinking the same thing.

OK, these commercials are just hilarious. Good to see 80’s bands doing new creative things. LOL
