As most Xbox fans probably already know, there have been numerous rumours circulating of a 360 slim model being released in the near future. Albeit there is no exact date, the E3 expo which is due to take place June 15-17 is the most likely ETA.
Whilst these claims have not yet been verified by Microsoft, I certainly hope they are true, as let’s face it; compared to other consoles on the market (wii, PS3) the 360 is a chunky piece of kit. To add to the flames of this rumour, it’s worth noting that a release around now would make sense as the current model is half way through its estimated life cycle of 10 years.

Recently I turned on an Xbox 360 and was presented with four red lights surrounding the power button. After the huge amount of online discussion about the “RROD” (Red Rings of Death), my immediate reaction was to panic!
Whilst worrying about whether this premium console was still under warranty and if I’d be several days without being able to play my Xbox 360, I turned the console off and began checking all of the connections. To my surprise, this was infact NOT the RROD problem, but something rather minor that can be fixed easily.
So, what was it that caused 4 red lights on the Xbox 360 console, and how did I fix it..?

The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition is out today for an extremely cheap 800MS Points! I say cheap because this is one of my favourite game (series) from my youth, revamped with new graphics and sound for the youth of today! (Although there is the option to play it as it was in the old days). When compared to many other games on the Xbox Live marketplace, you are definately getting a great deal for your money.
I tried downloading it during my lunch break today but only got to about 75%! So I will have to wait until tomorrow to play it. I am very excited about this Monkey Island remake and hope it is the beginning of something wonderful; a re-release (and revamp) of a selection of classic Lucas Arts games such as Monkey Island 2 and “Day of the Tentacle”.

So, Sony/Playstation have temporary “exclusive” rights for the Ghost Busters retail game in Europe. Annoying huh? Well, for those of you who are a bit impatient you will be pleased to know that you can still play it now! (well, shipping takes 24 hours but you can play it before the UK/Europe release date).
Ghost Busters on the Xbox 360 is “Region Free”, meaning that if you buy a copy from, say.. Canada, it will work on your European Xbox 360 console. Woohoo!
