Major Nelson Confirms Xbox LIVE Country Check

Major Nelson Confirms Xbox LIVE Country Check
Published by: forahobby on Thursday, November 30, 2006
Tagged: Live Marketplace, Xbox 360,

A recent security change to the Xbox Live service may have impacted users online purchase experience. Currently the video marketplace service and related content is only available to consumers in the United States. Although we will continue to work on providing content and rolling out the service in other markets, US Marketplace offers will be restricted to the US only. This means that the credit card associated with your account is required to match the billing address and country your account is set up in. Note that we are not banning any of these Xbox Live accounts, as they can continue to use pre-paid subscription cards and Microsoft Points cards.

Customers wanting to check the billing information on their account can do this on their console or by signing into Xbox.com with your account and then go to MY XBOX-> MY PROFILE then to BILLING AND CONTACT INFORMATION.

We also realize that there may be a small number of international users that were impacted by this change that have a legitimate reason for why their billing location does not match their account location. We are working to deal with these exceptions on a case by case basis and are working on a solution for these consumers.

Encode360 v2.0 beta2 Release for Xbox 360

Encode360 v2.0 beta2 Release for Xbox 360
Published by: forahobby on Thursday, November 30, 2006
Tagged: Live Marketplace, Xbox 360,

Encode360 is an application designed to take your DivX/XVID etc video files and convert them to high quality WMV's which can be played by the X-Box 360

This release has highly detailed debugging information in case of a problem or bug. If you encounter something, be sure to copy the debug log into the post so I have something to work with.



Added:
- x64 Support (untested, i don't have x64 :()
- Microsoft Zune screen resolution support (untested, i don't have a Zune :()
- Support for encoding VOB files (very very experimental!)
- Enable / Disable Explorer(info) Context Menu "Process with Encode360" (experimental)
- Default Settings can now be saved
- Debugging Information Window (With oooodles of debugging information)
- Minimize to System Tray
- Added PayPal link to the About Box. Please make a donation if you feel like it!

Changed:
- Major internal code restructuring and refactoring. Let's hope I fixed more than I broke eh? :)
- Dramatically improved encoding times
- Reduction in CPU overhead (more responsive system)
- Title no longer contains path where the file was originally encoded

Fixed:
- MKV file format wasn't recognised
- Changing the Audio / Video Bitrate quality did nothing. Was always 98%. Doh
- Not using auto-scale caused encoded videos to resize anyway, and badly
- Move processed files option failed
- Sometimes, clicking Stop on a batch encode wouldn't work
- Numerous other minor bugfixes

Lite-On to make add-on HD DVD player for Xbox 360
Published by: forahobby on Wednesday, November 29, 2006
Tagged: Hardware, Xbox 360,

Lite-On IT next year will start making add-on an HD-DVD player for Microsoft's Xbox 360 game console, which is currently supplied by Toshiba, according to the Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN). The paper added that Lite-On's revenues for the fourth quarter will rise sequentially because of increases in half-height DVD-burner shipments.

New Halo 3 Trailer & Beta Sign Up

New Halo 3 Trailer & Beta Sign Up
Published by: hq_hacker_girl on Wednesday, November 29, 2006
Tagged: Gaming, Hardware, Xbox 360,

It has come to our attention that there will soon be a brand new Halo 3 trailer heading our way. And apparently we see the Master Chief as we have never seen him before.. :o
Humanity is about to experience another exciting look at the world of “Halo 3,” one of the most anticipated entertainment launches for 2007. Airing in North America, Monday, Dec. 4 on ESPN’s Monday Night Football and Xbox.com in Europe, the new 60-second “Halo 3” trailer will offer viewers an exclusive look at the iconic “Halo” universe and provide telling, new hints as to what Bungie Studios has in store for the highly regarded game, which is published by Microsoft Game Studios and exclusive to Xbox 360.

Fans can tune in to ESPN on Monday, Dec. 4 between 5:50 and 6:20 p.m. PST to catch this stunning new look at “Halo 3.” Additionally, the ad will be aired that same evening on Xbox.com at 8 p.m. PST /04.00 GMT/05.00 CET (Tuesday, Dec. 5).
Looking forward to it already. :)

Also mentioned is that fact that www.halo3.com is about to allow beta sign ups for Halo 3 itself! :o So keep a close eye on that site to make sure you don't miss out.

SDTV Users: Capcom Hears Your Cries

SDTV Users: Capcom Hears Your Cries
Published by: sjohn on Tuesday, November 28, 2006
Tagged: Gaming, Hardware, Xbox 360,

Capcom is listening and taking our community to heart. We appreciate all the great feedback we have received from our fans regarding the Lost Planet demos, especially the recently released multiplayer demo.

We have noticed the recent concern about the text size in Lost Planet for SDTV users, in particular the “Elimination” mode of the multiplayer game where players’ scores are displayed on the top left of the screen. We want to assure gamers that we have already implemented a solution for text display in Elimination, which will be reflected in the final game (although it’s unfortunately not in the demo).

Lost Planet will automatically detect if you are playing on an SDTV and change the score display settings for this mode automatically. For the benefit of both you and your readers, we’ve included before and after shots of the text adjustment. In screenshot “LP – SD BEFORE”, you see how the text would have appeared before we implemented the change. In screen “LP – SD FINAL”, you can clearly see how the rankings text has been greatly enhanced, making it much easier for players to quickly determine scores and standing during a match.

We would also like to remind you that demos on Xbox Live Marketplace do not completely reflect the final product, as they are still early works in progress.

Additionally, steps have been taken within the single player game to make objectives more easily understood. New objectives are delivered to the player as both voice over and text. Once a new objective has been given, players can pause the game at any time to consult the in-game PDA.
