Xbox 360: A Complete Guide

admin — Sat, 17 Dec 2005 03:17:59 +0000

Xbox 360 Fanboy reviews Xbox 360: A Complete Guide and reports: “Sporting a no nonsense utilitarian title, Xbox 360: A Complete Guide is the first aftermarket manual out the door. It features a comprehensive focus covering setting up video, audio, networking, Xbox Live, peripheral attachments, and XP Media Center integration. The book is available through Lulu.com, an internet retailer for self-published books, so there is no giant publisher behind it verifying its accuracy or quality. Then again if there were, it wouldn’t be out already!

For $14.95 this might be the perfect present for that technologically illiterate gamer who’s lucky enough to be getting a 360 this holiday. Sure, it might not be the largest demographic, but Douglas A. Thompson has it cornered!”

Newsflash: Second Xbox Shipment December 18th

admin — Sat, 17 Dec 2005 03:17:48 +0000

A few people have been able to find Xbox 360s after launch date, either on eBay or in less searched stores, but now there is news of the second official shipment of 360s. The date to watch and wait for is December 18, 2005. I would suggest checking with your local BestBuy immediately as to whether or not they will recieve a shipment, and if they will, you should even perhaps camp out just to be ensured an Xbox 360 for the Christmas holidays!
