Today I have some news on Microsoft and the future of the Xbox 360 console.
Well first, Microsoft is possibly going to dump their HD-DVD disc format (due to small amounts of sales) in favor of Blu-Ray. Toshiba is already dumping it. Also, Microsoft may release an external and or an internal Blu-Ray drive for the Xbox 360. If this happens, the Xbox 360 will most likely win the console war, since it is almost winning right now, this will boost sales lf the Xbox 360 and Blu-Ray discs.
Also, Microsoft claimed that the Red Ring of Death (aka RROD) is gone due to the new falcon chip, and better manufacturing in new Xbox 360 consoles. But here is a video of a new Xbox 360 console dying, and at a terrible and embarrassing time, because it was at the Microsoft Booth at GDC 08.
Here is the video:
And Microsoft Dreamspark was released for free. The Dreamspark is a free gaming development tool to help students develop almost any game they can think of.
A Magic the Gathering game will be released for PC, Mac, and Xbox Live Arcade.
And finally Gears of War 2 is confirmed to come out during November 2008.
Here is the trailer:
