Low def trailers for High Def content on XBLM {Xbox 360 Fanboy}
Nov 10th 2006 1:40PM My guess is that it's another deinterlacing issue. Interlacing combs are 1 pixel wide so they take huge amounts of bandwith to encode (unless the codec supports it, WMV does not). Then again some of the other videos on Live show very amateurish deinterlacing.
Anyway, I can't check those vids out, because... um, I don't know why, probably because I'm in Europe. We never get movie trailers.
Engadget unboxes the 360 HD DVD player {Xbox 360 Fanboy}
Nov 9th 2006 5:06PM I have it vertically now, it saves space that way. The scratching only happens when you move it, a friend of mine ruined his PGR3 disk moving it from vertical to horizontal. You can say that he learned his lesson.
RoboBlitz T-shirt contest: Day 1 [update 1] {Xbox 360 Fanboy}
Nov 9th 2006 12:40PM You can have a lot of fun with magnets over superconductors. Somehow the magnetic field lines get "stuck" in the superconductor and the magnet will float!

Call of Duty 3 is cheaper on Eastern front {Xbox 360 Fanboy}
Nov 8th 2006 1:08PM Don't worry about the Live functionality on these games. I have the Asian DOA4 and GRAW and they work fine in Live.
Mr. DOAX busted for sexual harassment {Xbox 360 Fanboy}
Nov 7th 2006 12:53PM This is what I got from the Japanese article:
They were attending an important IT business conference and went to a karaoke bar after having dinner. Itagaki offered her a ride in his taxi, because they both lived in the same direction.
In the car Itagaki said: "I heard you got married." and "I love you," and started caressing her. He closed her chin with his right hand and grabbed her lips strongly. "He put his tongue inside my mouth," she claims. Itagaki is married with children.
Not wanting to anger the big name developer touching her breasts and hips, she did not know what to do. She cowered her body and somehow managed to resist him by saying: "No! Please, stop!" After which she pulled herself away from him.
After leaving the taxi, he grabbed her by the wrist and said: "Let's go," while trying to lead her to-wards a street filled with hotels. Half crying, she resisted and he gave up.
Even after that he repeatedly locked the door to the drawing room and proceeded to caress her. In May 2005, they went to a game convention in America [could that be E3?]. Using work as an excuse, he went to her hotel room and grabbed her from behind.
[OK, I had enough by now. Reading and expressing all that was really awkward.]
MS banning firmware modders? {Xbox 360 Fanboy}
Oct 29th 2006 5:45PM MAC addresses travel on layer 2 only, they won't make it on the internet. Unless the Xbox specifically reports them; which is possible since it scans the hardware anyway.

Blue Dragon scans, new info {Xbox 360 Fanboy}
Oct 27th 2006 11:05AM I don't know if you know this already but the scans also have information on the Core + Blue Dragon bundle pack. It says it only costs 29800 yen ($250), which sounds pretty good to me.
Japanese Blue Dragon bundles sell out? {Xbox 360 Fanboy}
Oct 18th 2006 12:05PM That blog has just as much information as you have. He just says that it was "some online store" and doesn't mention how many.
