Xbox 360 system update is preparation for a system update
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesMicrosoftXBOX 360
Microsoft has rolled out a fairly meaty Xbox 360 system update today, although no matter how hard you look, there's nothing new to be found.
That's because this update, which takes around five minutes to download and complete (on a superfast broadband connection), merely sets up your console for new features to come later.
One of those is expected to be Avatar Kinect, part of the Kinect Fun Labs, which allows you to take part in forthcoming, multiple themed virtual chat rooms using your Avatar as your in-room persona. The mouth of your graphical double even moves as you speak.
It will be launching this month, and although no specific date has been mentioned so far, the smart money is on next...

Xbox 720: every rumour about the next Xbox
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesMicrosoftXBOX One
Rumours about the new Xbox (or Xbox 720, as it's often referred to as) are now more than just internet gossip.
It's one thing to wildly speculate about the next Xbox console. It's quite another to find out that Microsoft is gearing up to build one.
Recent job postings reveal that the Xbox Console Architecture team is hunting for new blood. Successful candidates will join a team that will be "responsible for defining and delivering next generation console architectures from conception through implementation."
It screams Xbox 720 (or whatever Microsoft chooses to call its new Xbox). So let's gather together the facts, the half-whispered untruths and the wishful thinking to see what such a mach...

New Xbox to be Windows 8 powered?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesOperating SystemsMicrosoftXBOX 360Windows 8
Microsoft's Andy Lees has pointed to a unified ecosystem for all of the companies' devices, including Xbox, PC and phones.
Lees was speaking at Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference when he said: "We are aiming to provide coherence and consistency across the PC, the phone, and the TV - particularly with Xbox,"
"That's through providing new types of scenarios - things like the way in which you make the user experience more common, as you saw yesterday in the demontration of the user experience you have on Windows 8, on Windows Phone, and also on Xbox - but also sharing key pieces of technology." he added.
It looks like Lees is suggesting that the future of Xbox could be in Windows 8 fo...

Xbox 360 pops up in Win 8 code, console game compatibility coming to the PC?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesOperating SystemsMicrosoftXBOX 360Windows 8
It's no secret that Microsoft is planning on integrating Xbox LIVE into Windows 8, but rumors are now swirling that Xbox 360 games might actually be playable on the next version of Redmond's OS. References to "XBOX_360_SYSTEM_CRASH" have been found in the kernel code -- an odd bit of text to show up in software that's not designed to run on the 360's PowerPC CPU. There are, of course, other, more mundane possibilities -- like the ability to remotely control your console to trigger update and game downloads, or to receive notifications from the machine on your desktop. But, if Microsoft is bringing Xbox titles to the PC, it would only serve to solidify Windows as the platform of choice gamers...
