It's all go right now in the world of Windows Phone and Xbox 360, and Microsoft's announcements just keep on coming.
Microsoft has been showing off the latest additions to its Xbox 360 gaming system over the last couple of days, and the more they show, the more it appears to be on its way to being less a gaming system, and more an entertainment device.
Microsoft has shown off the deep integration between Windows Phone 7.5 and its Xbox Kinect once more, this time at the recent HTC Radar launch in Hong Kong.
Being a gaming fanatic, we can easily guess that any gamer can recall Microsoft’s motion sensing accessory Kinect right off the bat. This Xbox accessory is one of its kind, allowing supported games to be played solely using body motions. Microsoft has lately realized that the features of the Kinect platform could be brought to Windows. This developer is snapping up the opportunity by introducing KinDriver, a new custom Kinect driver that allows Grand Theft Auto San Andreas to be played using Kinect on your PC.
If you're a hardcore gamer, you likely own more than one console, yet game consoles take up space, especially if you live in a crammed college dorm. Thankfully, the newest star in geekery and console modding goodness has published pictures of a combination of a PlayStation 3 and an Xbox 360, all in one box!
Whenever a popular game like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is getting close to release, there's always a great amount of hype in the air. Microsoft is boosting up the hype and potential sales by releasing a new special edition Xbox 360 bundle modeled specifically after the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 title.
If you're an Xbox 360 user, you're likely always striving for added features and enhanced software, and so far Microsoft hasn't treated its users badly at all, with new updates coming up fairly often, including a major user interface redesign in the past years. Now, it seems as if Microsoft is gearing up for a another new Dashboard update for the Xbox 360.
It's not been a great year for glossy gadgets. Apple recently quietly discontinued its uber-shiny white MacBook from range in favor of the more sophisticated finish of the MacBook Air and MacBooks Pro, while Sony has also moved on from the early days of the PS3, which too sported a glossy finish.
It has been almost three months since Microsoft shelled out a whopping $8.5 billion on Skype, and at that cost, it has always been seen as inevitable that Skype would be ported into Microsoft's product range as quickly as possible.
Microsoft's Xbox 360 received some accessory love today, with the Redmond outfit announcing not one, but two new devices that will bring some added “awesome” to the party.
