Important 360 exclusives coming to the PS3?

Posted by Aaron on Saturday, March 24, 2007

Looks like.

While listening to the latest 1upyours podcast Shane Bettenhausen said something interesting. That some important Xbox 360 exclusive games will be coming to the PS3 in the coming months. Even Luke Smith knew what Shane was talking about. Don’t believe me? Then download the latest 1upyours podcast and fast forward to 01:03:06.

Hmm…. Think it’s true not true? If you think it’s true then what games do you think will be headed to the PS3? Alan Wake? Bio Shock? Mass Effect? Dead Rising? Lost Planet?

Leave a comment and let us know.

Mexican governor orders seizure of all copies of GRAW2

Posted by Aaron on Saturday, March 24, 2007

This story is pretty silly lol

Apparently the governor of the Mexican state of Chihuahua has ordered the seizure of all copies of GRAW2. He said and I quote “a crime against the intellectual capacity of Juarez residents” then he took a shot a video games in general “Violent video games instill values which are upside down, and these actions are despicable because they attempt to divide the good will of the residents of American and Mexican cities.

What do you readers think about this story? Personally I think it’s stupid lol

Xbox Live Security Update

Posted by Aaron on Saturday, March 24, 2007

From Major Nelson’s Blog:

Earlier this week when I first heard about the “Xbox Live network hacked” story, I checked with the people on our end, and then posted about it. As originally posted, Xbox Live has not been hacked. That is still true. A security researcher, Kevin Finisterre, discovered not a hack, but the fact that some accounts may have been compromised as a result of ’social engineering’, also known as ‘pre-texting’, through our support center. Kevin gave me a call directly and once I realized what he was talking about (he sent me some painful-to-listen-to audio files) I confirmed that the team is fully aware of this issue. They are examining the policies, and have already begun re-training the support staff and partners to help make sure we reduce this type of social engineering attack.

There’s no other way to say it; this situation shouldn’t have happened. Our customers deserve better.

The Xbox team takes what happened and the resolution of it very seriously. I also wanted to let you know that we’ve posted a page on Xbox.com ‘Troubleshooting Access to your Xbox Live Account‘ that can help you if you have questions. Finally, I chatted with Kevin earlier today and thanked him for bringing this issue to our attention. I also let him know that we have a much better understanding of this issue and that we are reviewing the processes in place to help prevent this in the future.
