I've got news alerts going for the XBox 360 Ultimate so if its mentioned pretty much anywhere on the internet I'll know about it.

It could be an innocent mistake but someone at BuyAndSell.Ca is offering:

"Nintendo Wii Console.......$200usd Sony PS3 80 GB.............$250usd Xbox 360 Ultimate Premium .......$250usd"

you've got to chuckle! It's not even confirmed yet - let alone released!

So when you do go buying the Xbox 360 Ultimate - make sure you get what you think you're buying. When/if its released we'll be publishing the complete details so when you do go to buy you can compare what the seller says you'll get and the official specs.

Curry's Lowest XBox 360 In Western Europe?

noreply@blogger.com (getvisible) — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 08:45:00 +0000

Currys have the Xbox 360 Pro Console Pack for just £199!!

Is it the lowest price in Western Europe? I've got a sneaky feeling it could be a fantastic Easter for new XBox 360 Console owners!!

It's Official(ish) Ultimate 360 Details

noreply@blogger.com (getvisible) — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:19:00 +0000

Apparently an email went out to Game Crazy, and GameStop saying that'll be launched at a price of around $600 so that'll be around £399ish.

Apparently it'll include a built-in High Definition DVD player, Television Recorder, 360 GB Hard Drive and HDMI port - well obviously!

Release in May 2008?

noreply@blogger.com (getvisible) — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 15:48:00 +0000

So the new Xbox 360 Ultimate may be released in May this year according to rumours at Smarthouse.

And of course its likely to feature the Blu-ray HD format. But don't be too quick to jump to conclusions, they may just allow HD movies to be downloaded via the intenet and then played from the Xbox.

It's something that Sony won't be turning their nose to either: Michael Ephraim the MD of Sony Computer Entertainment said: "We would welcome Microsoft to the Blu-ray stable. In fact it is quite logical for them as the PS3 has been very succesful in driving consumers to Blu-ray. In fact we believe that it has done more to win the format war than traditional Blu-ray player".

Interesting times!

It's On eBay - You've gotta chuckle!

noreply@blogger.com (getvisible) — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 19:53:00 +0000

Some mad geezer has put "NEW XBOX 360 ULTIMATE BUDLE WITH LIVE GOLD, 5GAMES+MORE" on eBay - I just hope none of you guys think its the real deal!

Careful Of The XBox Blog Spam

noreply@blogger.com (getvisible) — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 09:23:00 +0000

I'm starting to see it already! There's a trend starting now that people choose topics and then use blogs to spam the hell out it to point to pages where they earn some cash via the Google adverts.

The problem is that they often talk utter crap!

Look at this one - the guys the Xbox 360 Ultimate bundle is "on sale like everywhere" - no the fook it isn't! It's still rumour that they'll be releasing it, and they haven't even publicly announced their views of whether they'll go down the HD or Blu-Ray route!

Just keep an eye out for the rubbish that people are going to start to spout about it!

No News ... Is Good News

noreply@blogger.com (getvisible) — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 09:51:00 +0000

Well, its been all quite on the xBox 360 Ultimate front for a couple of weeks. There's been no news about the BT Vision package or the HD V Blu-Ray battle - so we can just assume that everythings going swimmingly?

Stay tuned for some announcements shortly ;-)

Xbox & BT Vision (IPTV)

noreply@blogger.com (getvisible) — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 16:43:00 +0000

So for our UK readers, would having BT Vision on the Xbox Ultimate make you buy it? Is it the possibility of havin HD DVD / Blu-Ray that'll make you part your cash?

To be honest I doubt it. Maybe for those that live with your parents and you
don't have Sky or Cable in your room, but I think it'll be the larger hardrive,
good HDMI output, a thiner devide and Hi-Def Audio.

This will make the difference. Do people want HD DVD? I'm not sure it'll be a deal clincher make people keep their cash in their pocket!

Xbox Ulitmate To Offer Blu-Ray Option

noreply@blogger.com (getvisible) — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 11:07:00 +0000

Reuters recently interviewed Albert Penello who is the group marketing manager for Microsoft's Xbox Hardware division. In that interview he commented that Microsoft are at least mentally preparing a Blu-Ray option for the Xbox 360 if HD-DVD fails:

"It should be consumer choice, and if that's the way they vote, that's something we'll have to consider," said Penello. "I fundamentally don't think this has a significant impact on Xbox 360 versus PS3."

This must have come after the Warner Bros' news as prior to CES they said they had "absolutely no plans to support other optical formats (than HD-DVD).

And it looks like Paramount may also switch to Blu-Ray according to the FT.

Let's hope it doesn't delay the launch of the Xbox Ultimate seeing as it offers so many great features.

Console Delayed?

noreply@blogger.com (getvisible) — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 11:03:00 +0000

The news is that The new Xbox Ultimate is to be put on hold due to Warner Bros' decision to back Blu-Ray.

Also there was supposed to be a huge announcement from MS about the Ultimate - but nothing really surfaced.

This is worrying news!

Due Autumn 2008

Well Stuff Magazine reckons that come Autumn 2008 we'll have the Xbox Ulitmate to get our grubby little hands on!

They say the Xbox Ultimate will have "1080p HDMI output, built-in Wi-Fi, hi-def audio output, cooler 65nm hardware architecture and a near-silent fan ... as well as Xbox IPTV service" which will allow you to record tv on to its 320gb hard drive! :D
