Flight fans have a few things to be happy about right now since Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation has put out its new wave of DLC full of new plains to pick from.
The new wave of plains and variations on plains should be available now on Xbox Live and even includes one free plain in the line up.
The new lineup will be made up of:
F-16C Fighting Falcon – PJ Emblem (Free): One of the central characters of Ace Combat Zero, PJ fought to protect his loved ones and fulfill his sense of justice. This plane, decorated in his honor, utilizes light armor for greater maneuverability.
Typhoon – Rot (200 Microsoft Points): Designed to the specifications of one of the rival pilots of Ace Combat Zero, this aircraft goes for broke in battle with superior pursuit capabilities but minimal shielding.
Typhoon – Orange Wing (300 Microsoft Points): An aircraft modified for air shows and exhibitions, the Orange Wing is equipped with a maximum payload of smoke missiles.
Su-47 Berkut – Violet Wing (300 Microsoft Points): A counterpart of the Orange Wing in exhibitions, the Violet Wing also comes with a full payload of colored smoke missiles.
Rafale M – The Idolmaster Iori (400 Microsoft Points): Although this plane might strike you as bratty and undisciplined at first, it may just reward you with a perfect performance once under your control.
Razgriz Set 3 – Contains Tornado GR4, F-15E Strike Eagle, CFA-44 Nosferatu and F/A-18F SuperHornet (400 Microsoft Points): This set of four planes bears the emblem of the Razgriz squadron, the heroes of Ace Combat 5. Each plane is accentuated with advanced durability to ensure the survival of all squad members in even the most hostile missions.
Rumours have abounded regarding an upcoming motion control device for the Xbox 360, purportedly codenamed "Newton" — first, a loquacious anonymous source told MTV that such a controller is in development with support from developer Rare, and next 8bitjoystick pegged patents from Gyration, the same company responsible for Nintendo's Wii remote technology, as the likely tech behind Microsoft's top-secret project.
Gyration, however, unequivocally denied yesterday that it has any such project in development with Microsoft. However, talking to Rare, Microsoft and a company called Motus revealed more items of interest regarding the "Newton" — the picture seen above is Motus' "Darwin" controller.
"There's absolutely no truth to the rumours, and I have no idea where they're coming from," said a genuinely perplexed-sounding Zac Rivera, the PR rep for Movea Inc., the company that purchased Gyration in January 2008. He added, "Gyration is working on some game-related projects, but it won't be announced until later this year, and it is not related to the Xbox 360."
However, when it comes to motion controls, Gyration is not the only game in town. Boston-based Motus also develops motion controller tech for games, and, looking into the company for possible information on the "Newton," we learned that it has an existing product on the market already called the "Darwin."

For all those lucky guys who get GTA IV before the official release date of April 29th, 2008 rockstar are reporting you will need to change your online settings to be able to play the game online so the achievements stay hidden before the launch.
We need your Gamertag because Microsoft will be helping Rockstar Games monitor access to the online modes up to release date. Because of this, we will need to add your Gamertag to the approved list of gamers who can play online prior to release.
In addition to supplying this information, if you do intend to go online before April 29th, you will need to change a couple of the basic settings on your Xbox 360 and keep these settings like this till the game comes out, otherwise other people will be able to see your achievements list for GTA IV (even if you are playing another game) and we'd like to keep that information back for the fans. You will have to switch your profile to private and appear off line. We have attached a document that explains exactly how you do this just in case.
