Okay, it looks like time to re-up with Xbox live again. I've been thinking do I really need an Xbox live Gold account. First thing I hate about Xbox live is I am sick and tired of getting called out to my name. I have complained about racist comments, and they just don't care. So lets talk about Netflix, Facebook, Twitter, Last.FM. The only thing I like about Xbox live is Netflix because it is just simple. I also have a PlayStation 3 it also streams movies via a disk for free. In the next major PlayStation update they will most likely have Netflix instant streaming in the cross media bar for free. By the way I can get up off my ass to put a disc to use Netflix. Facebook, Twitter, Last FM is free the key word being free. The only good thing about Facebook is that you can show off pictures on the big screen TV. Quite frankly the Facebook and Twitter interface on Xbox sucks in so many ways. Microsoft needs to offer me a little bit more then some early demos and old discounted arcade games. I will most likely pick up a gold membership when somebody has it on sale for $30. An Xbox live Gold membership is just not worth 50 bucks to me anymore.

RIP James Kim 1971-2006
by mackfast on Comments
Today I just found that James Kim passed away. James and his family were stranded in Oregon and he tried to find some help for his wife and kids and died while trying to save his family. This will be a tragic loss for the tech community. James died trying to save his family in my eyes this makes him a hero and I will miss him

NCAA 07 Football
by mackfast on Comments
This game is awesome I love the mini games especially bowling that is actually a practice drill the use except we don't use the bowling concept. The controls are okay and I love the graphics I love all of the multiple Formations and plays. I can't wait to see the uniform updates I hope they don't charge for it because I'm not paying for it overall this game is pretty good.

Soccer
by mackfast on Comments
Do Americans really care about soccer. I think the only Americans, who really care our first and maybe second-generation Americans. In the states, soccer is used as a introduction to sport. Soccer also helps little kids there coordinated and that's about it. I just don't understand why they always try to push soccer on the US. Majority of people just don't care.
Ubisoft good investment (FR0000054470)
by mackfast on Comments
I have bought stock in Ubisoft back in September of 05 and after they're showing at E3 bought even more. So for, it seems if you own a Xbox 360 has at least one Ubisoft game. Ubisoft should have a great Q4 and Q1. I expect them to sale a lot of games, especially red still, and I also own shares in Nintendo. The beast to videogame companies should have a great Q4 and Q1 and if you buy the stock. You showed make a little money. Thanks for the article. I'm going to pass it on to some of my stock market buddies. I think mentioned that Ubisoft was going to have a good year, and one among blogs

DS light looks to dominate the handheld market
by mackfast on Comments
Japanese consumers are currently snapping up around 600,000 units of the DS Lite every month, leaving just 1.4 million per month for every other territory in the world. Nintendo may soon be faced with having to increase capacity once again, to avoid a repeat of the massive shortages in the channel which were seen in many territories last Christmas and early in the New Year.
Done deal for PlayStation 3
by mackfast on Comments
The first versions of the PlayStation 3 to hit shelves will offer complete backwards compatibility with PS2 and PS1 titles by including a version of the PS2 hardware in the system, according to a report in a Japanese technology magazine.
If this is true, this means that all the old games would not be running on a emulator like on the xbox 360 that sounds good to me.
