It’s a story that happens all too often (for videogame companies, that is). Microsoft’s latest installment of its exclusive hit franchise, Halo: Reach , has been leaked on Internet ahead of its official release on September 14. The twist this time: the hackers snuck a copy right off of Xbox Live Marketplace, Microsoft’s virtual goods store.

Microsoft’s Kinect motion peripheral for Xbox 360 (formerly called Project Natal) will cost $150 at retail on its own, and $300 bundled with a 4 GB Xbox 360 slim console. Both will launch November 4 with the Kinect Adventures suite of casual motion games included. This price is unsurprising since numerous retailers and e-tailers, including Microsoft’s own online store, have listed Kinect fo...

The Microsoft Store's official Twitter account is inviting folks to try Kinect at its stores "nationwide," which sounds a lot more impressive before the realization hits that there are only four locations in the entire country. The MS Twitter account also notes that Kinectimals will be shown off this weekend.
Anyway, if you live near one of the four stores found in the western part of...
Five big retailers have listed Microsoft Kinect ’s controller-free interface for Xbox 360 at a price of $149.99, including Microsoft’s own online store . The price is slightly lower than the $200 tag suggested by a Swedish retailer some time ago, but it falls in line with numerous previous rumors that put the device at $150. Note that when a retailer lists a price for an unreleased product, t...
We've become so familiar with the " Project Natal " codename over the years that our tongues are still having a little trouble wrapping around Microsoft's new Kinect moniker for it. Still, what's in a name? Microsoft has finally shown us what matters with real games, real gameplay, and real hardware, and after spending some time with it using our very own human flesh to control the on-screen act...

Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 promises to revitalise the series, but can Konami really pull its veteran player back from the brink? Early reports are positive... Nobody at Konami is under any illusions: over the last two years, and after a decade at the top of the table, PES has lost its position of football sim dominance to FIFA. But the publisher, and its vast Pro Evolution development team (200 s...
It's officially on. That is the motion control wars and, don't hate, but Nintendo isn't one of the combatants. Nope, this war is clearly between Microsoft and Sony. It's the Kinect vs the Move. Full body tracking vs 1-1 controller tracking. This is going to turn out great for you, me, and both Sony and Microsoft.
Today at its Xbox 360 media event in Los Angeles, Microsoft dropped a big piece of news: the launch of a slimmer version of the Xbox 360, which starts shipping today and will hit stories by the end of this week. The new Xbox 360 comes in black, rather the current Xbox 360, which is white. It has 250 GB of disk space and comes equipped with built-in Wi-Fi, instead of using a direct Ethernet conne...
Although the Electronic Entertainment Expo doesn’t officially begin until tomorrow, Microsoft kicked things off early with a pre-show event at Los Angeles’s Wiltern Theater. Some of the details on the hotly-anticipated, motion-controlling Kinect were leaked early, but this morning’s media briefing provided more details as well as a slew of news on upcoming titles for the Xbox 360 platform. Micr...
Is there anything these phones can't do? huskermania shows us how he's running his Xbox 360, through a Macbook, running Windows 7, and tethered to an HTC Droid Incredible . I think if he adds a wireless controller and microwaves a bowl of Ramen, he just might break the barriers of space and time. In any case, you gotta check out his video after the break and see it all in action. Now where...
After seven years of development, the Xbox Media Center team says they'll no longer support the console that gave the project its name. We can't blame 'em: the writing's been on the wall for years now, and 733MHz will only carry you so far. If you can't live without your chunky horizontal monolith, don't despair -- you'll still find lingering threads of code being woven at our more coverage link...
