The XCM black light cases pictured above are a great way to make your Xbox look more techno pretty. Of course they are also a great way to void your warranty. If you have one of the newer Xbox modles that are supposed to give off less heat and therefore possibly spare you from the RRoD, we may actually recommend this. The entire case comes with a kit you can use to swap out your hardware in a matter of minutes and we do admit the blue looks pretty cool. With XCM black light cases for the Xbox 360, you’re sure to get laid….

The price of the Microsoft Xbox Hard Drive 120 GB has dropped to to half of its original price. The 120 GB hard drive debuted with the Xbox 360 Elite system and the price for the hard drive alone was $150 but now Circuit City (probably in a move of grave desperation) has lowered it to $79.96. In case you still don’t know, Circuit City has been on the brink of bankruptcy for a while now and even with the loan from Bank of America has not been doing too well through this holiday season. The Xbox 360 hard drive is probably one of the best deals the store currently offers so if you’re looking to add to your 360, now is a great chance.

Year after year, the Xbox 360 has consistently beat out the PS3. This year was no different as the Xbox 360 emerged from black Friday outselling the PS3 3:1. The strong sales of the Xbox 360 can be attributed to some of the aggressive black friday deals. The arcade bundle of the Xbox 360 was actually cheaper than the Nintendo Wii! The Xbox 360 remains popular due to its strong lineup of games and good reputation for third party support. Its target demographic places it firmly in the same arena as the PS3. It appears to many analysts now however that the PS3 has missed many great opportunities to catch up a little to the Xbox 360 and might never do so in the future.

The new Xbox 360 motherboard was just leaked and it looks pretty amazing. The new layout will include a power supply that is 25W less than the original because of the more efficient GPU as well as 256 MB of flash memory for your saved games. With video game consoles, the chipsets often go through several changes. The new Xbox 360 chipset will not enhance performance much but it will make the whole console a little cooler and less of an energy hog. Hopefully this will reduce the instances of the Red Ring of Death which has pretty much plagued the Xbox 360 since its launch.

According to the monthly report released by the NPD, the Xbox 360 console is the best bet for profit for third party developers. The numbers behind the game and console sales make it clear that the Wii and Xbox 360 dominate in sales which means more platforms and more potential customers. With the Wii however, game development is often done in house by Nintendo. The xbox 360 however, is able to push out many more third party developed game hits. It is an interesting trend how games tend to sell more on the Xbox 360 and I’m sure this will fuel many fanboy wars.

Microsoft has informed the public that unauthorized users of the New Xbox Experience will face a ban from Xbox Live until the official release on November 19th. The New Xbox Experience is Microsoft’s complete renovation of the Xbox 360 interface. New features will include a more streamlined and informative marketplace as well as avatars! Private beta testing has started for some lucky xbox users but Microsoft has warned that usage of NXE on other unauthorized machines will mean the inability to sign into xbox live. This could mean that people who have NXE before they are supposed to will be unable to play over Live until November 19th! Don’t people, its not worth it…

Five weeks. It has been five weeks since the last time the Sony Playstation 3 sold more than the Microsoft Xbox 360. For the first time ever, the Xbox 360 beat out the Playstation 3 for the entire month of September in Japan. And that trend seems to continue. For the week ending on October 12, date coming from Media Create Co., have shown that the Xbox 360 has once again beat out the Playstation 3. For week of October 6 to October 12, the Xbox 360 sold 7,763 units compared to the PS3′s 5,734. Xbox’s recent success can be attributed to the recent price cut of the Xbox 360. Although the Xbox 360 is doing well against the Playstation 3, both fail in comparison in sales to the Nintendo Wii, which continues to sell strong worldwide.
