Microsoft Already Manufacturing New Xbox?

IGN is reporting that an anonymous source told them that Microsoft has already sent the first batch of new Xbox consoles into production at a manufacturing facility in Austin, Texas. The company that owns the facility in question, Flextronics, manufactures the Xbox 360 and was also responsible for the manufacture of the original Xbox console.

Could Microsoft be lying about their plans - or their supposed lack thereof – for E3 2012?

Meow the Cat Died

Remember Meow, the 39-pound cat from Santa Fe, New Mexico that I posted about a few weeks ago? I have some bad news: he died a few days ago from respiratory distress.

You had a good run, Meow. You even got to sit on Anderson Cooper’s lap.

Microsoft Announces $99 Xbox 360 Kinect Bundle Deal

Microsoft is now selling the 4GB model of the Xbox 360 - with a Kinect - for $99.

There’s a big catch, of course. You have to agree to pay $14.99 per month for an Xbox Live Gold account for 24 months to get the deal. ($14.99 x 24 = $359.76 + $99 = $458.76)

In other words, Microsoft is now baiting idiots into buying the 4GB model of the Xbox 360 with a Kinect on a payment plan that ends up costing them $86.54 more than it would cost to just buy the package with two years of Xbox Live Gold outright from Amazon.com.

The Watch – Red Band Trailer

This movie was called Neighborhood Watch. The studio changed the title and their marketing campaign at the last minute because of Trayvon Martin’s death. Yes, seriously.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2 Confirmed

Remember when someone at British retailer GAME leaked word back in January that Need For Speed 13 would be released this year? Well, it turns out that’s true – and we were able to confirm through a reliable source that the game is in fact Most Wanted 2. We’ve also got it on good authority that Criterion Games is building the game on the Hot Pursuit engine.

Even without confirmation from our source, however, there’s a mountain of evidence.

South African retailer BT Games actually published (but later took down) a pre-order page for both Most Wanted 2 and Dead Space 3 last month. This morning, EA confirmed during an earnings call that a new Need For Speed is under development and will be released at the end of Q3 2012. They neglected to provide a name for the title, however.

Regardless, we’re here to tell you that it is in fact a Most Wanted sequel.
