Well, I'll be off to my cousin's house, Friday evening.

As i detailed in my last blog my cousins got a xbox 360. Yes I am coming over this friday evening to stay over and play around with their new system. I can't wait it'll be so much fun. Sadly, they don't have halo 3, yet(:() or 2 controllers, but there are cabable of using and running xbox live. And while I am there I might go with them and buy H3 and a 2nd controller.So while im there i'm going to go download a demo via XBL marketplace(:D). Wait on a second thought they may have another controller. So I'll be back by sunday or monday with my first impressions of Xbox 360.

My Cousin's just got a Xbox 360.

Well i'm happy b/c their helping M$ dominat-ur.............. earn money...... have fun with their new console. W/e, They bought a Xbox 360 pro holiday bundle w/ forza 2 and some marvel game. And thank god that this version has the HDMI port (Also with the ones with a HDMI port have a newer and cooler mother-board, so its important no matter what). No word on falcon though. Sources say if the console was created on the date of Augest 24th 2007 or up you have the falcon console. I hope they do. My Cousin absolutly loved xbox 1 and i know he is going to love 360 10 times more. They bought a wii (and regret it like most people who did buy it) and it just sits in their house collecting dust. I might go over to their house sometime and check if they do have the falcon console. Chances are, they do. Now i dont have a 360 yet( :cry: )but i will get one and give my impressions when i get one. All-in-all I'm glad my cousin has entered the next-generation of video games: the Xbox 360.

This is a little week i'd like to call: "Hell Week"

For M$, things are great. Not so much for me. Well this is a blog. Well a M$ fanboy blog promising more. And this is more. Well I have 2 big projects this week that will affect my school mark like crazy. Not to metion a math test i finished and got a %75 on (YES I PASSED!:D and did way bettter than last time!) Well yeah i kinda suck at math but everything eles is pretty good. Maybe except health/gym :P. But w/e i dont care about health/gym. Yes i r lazys. Well i really hate talking about all of this right now b/c it remindes me of how this all sucks but hey im looking forward to friday and teh weekend! I am so close to a xbox 360 w/ halo 3 and i can't wait. Well now i realize this week isn't as bad as i named it.I just feel pressered and all sad inside. But hey maybe i should save the name "Hell Week"for a worser (is that a word?) week.

Xbox 360 hits 13.4 million units.

Thats sold units of course. So 13.4 million copies of the 360 have been sold world wide claims M$. Thats not bad the wii is a couple of 100 thousand ahead but i hope the 360 catches up. And lets not even talk about the flopstation 3 with 4 million units sold :lol:. Sony just sucks this gen. **Edit note** To date there are over 10 million Xbox Live members, XBL is the biggest and strongest Gaming Console Network of all time.

Zune 2 reviews getting better and better.

Yup reviews are coming coming out all over the place saying this new zune is one of the best mp3 players out there in the market. And i belive it was PC World that said: "ok, we'll just come out and say it: Zune 2 DESTROYES the ipod classic and the competion". Well M$ obiously has a winner in their hands. Now with apple behind M$ has the ability to go futhur. Well just thought i should tell you that the new zunes own. Ewww i just reminded myself its tuesday and its no where near friday :x. Anyways Awsome job M$!

Enough of this bull. M$ IS NOT EVIL!

Ok just came back from reading articals of how "evil" M$ is. Seriously how are they evil. This is sort of from a fan boy view i have to be honest. Well first off #1 reason why so many apple/open-source fanboys (and any one who somehow follows the path of these companies) think M$ is evil : marketing/business. OK HAS IT EVER OCCURRED TO THESE CERTAIN FAN BOYS THAT MAYBE M$ IS JUST SMART?!?! I mean everyday fan boys say that M$ does evil things? Hmmm lets see. WHAT!? BE UNFAIR TO THE COMPETISH?!? WELL FANBOYS WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!! THE BUSINESS WORLD GOD-DAMN IT!! Andmoney. Last i remember i belive every company in the world wants to be rich! Duh! I am not a blind fan boy. I know M$ is greedy. But honestly what company isn't? Oh apple is. Thats right iTunes, serioulsy over-priced products. The diffrence is apple hides their show of greed like many companies. But that doesnt mean that they aren't.Maybe M$ is just proud of earning their success. Well anyways what do you think The open-source foundation would do if they owned the market (yeah right) Nobody knows but chances are they would do the things M$ is doing now. 2nd and lastmost reason why M$ is so-called "evil" They make low-quilty products and copy. MY A$$.Ok sure M$ copys products. Oh but not perfect little apple. NOO apple has never copyed before. Well maybe once or twice. Yeah the copied the GUI from xerox in the early 80's (yeah, but everyone did) Oh but what about how apple did not think of the name ipod. nope. They copied it from eleswhere. Oh how about Apple copied the design ofthe iphone from LG.Ok fineI'll stop picking on applebut one last thing. HOW ABOUT THE FACT APPLE DID NOT EVEN CREAT THE CODE FOR THEIR FREAKING OS!!! THEY BORROWED IT FROM FREAKING UNIX!!!!!!!! Yeah so much for innovation and hard work. Ok my point M$ isn't the only one who copies. Its just that they get pointed out the most b/c apple fan boys are every where! On CNET.com,apple fan boysreview M$ products, PC WORLD, Wall Street and others, they all love to pick on M$ because they are the freaking winners. Everyone picks on M$ because they are the winners of the PC market. Fan boy can not let go of the past. That is why.HA they make low-quilty products. I'll give u 1 example and thats it. I'm done. The ZUne. Go do some research on Zune 1 and 2 and realize the effort from 1 to 2 and the innovation. Along with XBox 360 Vista. No M$ did not copy apple is the OS market. It's the oppisite. Think of how long it took M$ to devlope Vista. THen think about how M$ released Vista beta's and stuff. Now think of how apple's 1st best OS X release was tiger back 2005. tiger had the "built-in" innovative features that went futher than XP. Now think of were and how apple got their ideas. Vista beta 2. Cause M$ had it all planned. Now they needed to devlope Vista. In that 5-yeardev time Apple took M$'s ideas and got it out their faster. THIS IS THE TRUTH! I DONT CARE IF U BELIVE THIS OR NOT! The truth is thatApple got there faster. And it doesnt matter. Leopard is just built-in features no Apps everyone wants to use. SO im tired of hearing BS that M$ IS evil B/C THEY ARE NOT (that evil)

Whew! That felt good :)

1st party M$ title beign cancelled. But what game?

You heard right. A lot of rumors around this one. 1up confirmed this in their podcast but didn't metion any names. Wellthe canidates are Fable 2, Too Human, or peter jackson's "halo project". Out of all of these it has to be peter jackson's halo project. Fable 2 no b/c the first one sold more than 3 million (also Lionhead, the game-dev, confirmed it is not being cancelled by M$). Too Human no b/c this game is not even 1st party just exclusive. And its been a year and still no devlopent seen around this halo project. Also its not Banjo 3 b/c rare confirmed it is not begin cancelled. Anyways I'm almost certain it isPeter jackson's Halo project. Yes, because of the fact its been in devlopment for a very long time and still we see no progress of this game what so ever.

M$ announces Major Vista updates coming this week.

How big is Major? M$ says this new update coming this week will make people who think the OS stinks like it a lot better. So its almost like a mini service pack. Infact it will improve many of the problems reviwers like CNET pointed out. Something tells me this week is gonna be really good for M$. First the new Zunes sky-rocketing in ratings and now this. Awsome for M$ (I mean it).

I hate to say it but I told you so! (something about zune 2)

Well as it turns out i was right about reviewers loving the new zune 2. CNET gave the Zune 80 a 8.3 out of 10 compared to the new ipod classic & nano a 8.0 but even more surprizing the same rating as the higher-end, ipod touch. There is no denying that the new Zunes are going to rock. And by the way the new Zune 80 is #1 on CNET's must-have products list. That says a lot. Micro$oft has hit home-run. A lot of the time Microsoft 1.0 products have a lot more they could do. For example zune 1. And now look at zune 2. So much more better. The zune 1 was not a horrible flop however. Anyways my point is, is that microsoft has achived something big here. Be afraid apple, very afraid.

Open-Source will NOT be the future.

You heard right. Yes i am totally against open-source everything. It's wrong. Open-source is what caused piracy in the first place. And Linux fans are out and about are saying linux (a open-source OS) is going to be the future. OK first of all o-source is free software based on foundations. It has also caused many problems for many normal people who use it. O-sourse is used by mainly hackers. Infact most O-S software is created by hackers. Hackers then try to sell it and rip people off. O-S is not the future because since it is free people will not belive their eyes. And thats why. You see almost every adult who uses a PC does not buy a free operating system (like linux) and expects to trust it. Most people only trust Windows as an OS because the company who created it (microsoft) can be trusted. So O-S will not be the future simply because People will not trust it.
