Minecraft Xbox 360 Port Released!
The Xbox 360 port of Minecraft is now available.
You can grab the demo for free or you can get the full game, which weighs in at 113.21MB, for 1600 MS Points.
The port has been generally well received so far. It has more than 420,000 ratings as of this posting.
My only complaint at this point is that the worlds are limited in size to 1,000×1,000 blocks, which is quite a bit smaller than I was hoping. It restricts anything too ambitious.
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?
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.

Halo 4 Concept Art Leaked
Several pieces of gorgeous concept art for Halo 4 leaked yesterday. From the look of things, the artists at 343 Industries are taking big liberties with the traditional Halo armor design.
I think it all looks rather awesome, myself. I’m a particularly big fan of the multiplayer armor.
