Hamas fighter: "We are only working at 10 per cent of our capacity. There is always somebody backing us up, held in reserve.

Ehud Barak, the Israeli Defence Minister, has promised "all-out war" against the Islamist movement, but Abu Jundal, 29, said that Hamas had so far thrown only a fraction of its 15,000-strong guerrilla force into the fray. At the current rate of attrition, he said, it could carry on the battle for another three months.

Games "not supported" for installation
When you try to install these games you'll get an error that says "Installation of this game is not supported."

- Burger King trilogy - Big Bumpin, Pocketbike Racer, Sneak King
- Crackdown
- Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball 2
- Quake II (included on Quake IV bonus disk)

FAQ/Notes/How to
To install a game you simply insert the disc and press the Y button to bring up "Game Details" and then click on the "Install to Hard Drive" option. Installs take about 10 minutes. You'll still need to have the disc in the drive as anti-piracy/verification measure and when ejecting the disc of an installed game you'll be booted back to the dashboard just like normal. As the disc drive (noisiest part of the system) doesn't spin up, your console should sound like it does when playing a Marketplace demo.

- The 120GB HDD was slightly faster than 20GB (1 or 2 seconds) in Eurogamers testing, no word on the 60GB yet.

After revealing that Xbox 360 had topped the seven million sales mark in Europe, Microsoft has claimed that the console is outselling PS3 - both in the UK and across the continent.

In the UK, we've sold more than double PS3's volume since the price drop in September.
In Italy, we were double PS3's sales last week.In France and Germany we are at or better than PS3 consistently now.

We dominate in Russia and the Nordic countries and in Spain - a traditional Sony stronghold - we're now outselling PS3. It bodes incredibly well for our Christmas prospects."

[QUOTE="Lidve"]

They know knowledge! Awesome move,i was wondering if they will go earlier or wait ! Now when they have head start they can afford luxury to wait for Sony's next move - and counter it

SolidTy

That's the thing, M$ will always try to release earlier than SONY from now on, as it's proven so effective.

Howver, they may just be trying to lull SONY into a false sense of security, so this may all be a ruse.

Like I said, it's all talk. M$ has no history we can bank on in the console world, at all.

In fact, Window's keeps on moving, even when it's not needed.

xbox 2001----2005 xbox 360 2005------???? xbox next ????

ps2 2000-----2006 ps3 2006------???? ps4 ????

ngc 2001-----2006 wii 2006----???? wii hd ????

in the end , userbase talks, ps2 has 100 million userbase , so even when sony self already stop making ps2 games. third party are still stick with it. but if ps3 can't reach that level, 10 year life span is a joke.

Short 360 lifespan confirmed...

;)

mattbbpl

use your logic. if microsoft rush to lauch next conosle , they don't need to update new 360 dashboard , besides , only the last place console feel the urge for next gen.

Asked how long Microsoft would keep making the Xbox 360, he said, "One day longer than the lifespan of the PlayStation 3." That means that Microsoft will invest in the Xbox 360 for a long time and feels no pressure to offer a new machine.
