Xbox Live Vision for Xbox 360 launches today, Tuesday September 19. Xbox Live Vision is an affordable next-generation camera that allows gamers to chat via video in real time with their friends and family, send photo messages, put their own face in a supported game, and customize their gamertag on the Xbox Live network.
On Wednesday, September 20, four previously released games will receive automatic updates on Xbox Live Arcade, making them Xbox Live Vision-enabled, including:
These games will join “UNO!,” the classic card game for Xbox Live Arcade that is already compatible with Xbox Live Vision, giving gamers a lineup of popular titles to play with Xbox Live Vision, right out of the box!
We’d also like to remind parents who have young children to enable Family Friendly settings for their kids Xbox Live account, and to configure the settings to the communication level with which they are most comfortable.

First Look: Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel
You can look and touch, but you're not quite ready to drive.
September 14, 2006 - It has been a while since console gamers have been able to enjoy their racing games the way real fans of the genre should -- with a first-party racing wheel peripheral. Microsoft is bringing them a Wireless Racing Wheel for the Xbox 360 on November 1 packaged complete with a force-feedback version of Project Gotham Racing 3 for the retail price of $149.99.
IGN got our first hands-on with the wheel today. Unfortunately, we felt a bit like kids at the arcade who are out of quarters but sitting in a game and steering anyway, because they couldn't let us demo the wheel with a game or hooked up to the X360.
We're pretty damn picky when it comes to racing wheels. A really great gaming racing wheel should give you a much deeper level of immersion; it should feel and respond like the real thing. It is a harder goal for the designer of a racing wheel, because with other peripherals like a joystick or even a lightgun, your average gamer probably hasn't actually flown a F-18 or fired an AK-47 so any disparity between reality and simulation isn't as great a divide. Most people have driven a car, though. Luckily, so did the team behind Microsoft's Wireless Racing Wheel.
You have the option to rest the wheel in your lap or attach it to a table. The wheel itself is weighty enough not to feel flimsy, but not so heavy that it was uncomfortable in our laps. It is balanced enough, and wide enough that it didn't want to tip. Naturally, the wheel feels a lot more stable attached to the table. It cranks on to fit the table quickly and easily. The wheel has 270 degrees of motion and feels comfortable and solid. Considering that the Forza Motorsport 2 team has helped with the design we're looking forward to taking it for a spin with a real game (once Microsoft lets us have a few quarters).
ny racing wheel superfan has probably killed a few flimsy pedals during heated races. During especially suspenseful moments it is natural to tend to STOMP a lot. We kicked these pedals pretty firmly and they didn't complain. Pedal systems have long struggled with a design that won't slide around on whatever surface you happen to be using. Microsoft has solved this problem with a new design which has a cutaway frame at along the base of the pedals that comfortably accommodates a player's heel where you naturally would rest your feet. It helps to keep the pedals from doing much sliding around. The pedals also have tiny foam feet to protect hard floors from any damage.

The Premium Xbox 360 won't benefit from a price cut this Christmas - but instead a HD-DVD and console package is due, spearheading a marketing drive of console bundles available from November.
Retail sources have indicated to GamesIndustry.biz that Microsoft is currently planning to price the standalone HD-DVD drive at GBP 199 (~293EUR or ~370USD), and to package it with two HD-DVD movies. The sources also suggested that Microsoft will bundle the Premium console and next-generation movie player together for under GBP 400 (~589EUR, ~745USD) - and that the price could even be as low as GBP 375 (~552EUR, ~700USD).
It's expected an official Premium bundle will be made available in early November, with a newly released triple-A third-party title included.
With a small delay we are now happy to announce the release of the NME-360 v1.1 Chip as of today. A few resellers have their chips already, others are getting them in within the next 2 days. We are just setting up the new installation diagrams which are going to be online tomorrow. Please note: The NME-360 v1.1 chips are still two different chips for samsung and hitachi. This time we marked the Hitachi Chips with a white stripe. The Samsung Chips are unmarked. Furthermore we'll shoot a small video showing the cool activity LED feature at work. Even though the installation and burning process are now much easier with the NME-360 v1.1 and our aSSociat0r tool, we will set up a support-forum for those who still have problems. That way we can keep email-support lower which gives us more time for realizing out future plans ;-) Anyway, with the new NME-360 v1.1 Chip life got so much easier for everybody and especially for those who bought a Pioneer 111D burner when all that progress started.
