H3 tidbits

H3 in true 1080p? Read it and weep (with joy).

More on the H3 beta leak video: Xbox 360 Fanboy breaks it down in text and video.

The goods

Here comes today's goodies:

• An interview with XBLB, the MLG Charlotte RB6 Vegas champions.
• How to h4XX0r your own 120gb drive to your 360 to avoid M$'s HHD markup.
• Apparently there was a leaked H3 beta vid on youtube, but it got yanked faster than ... well, very quickly.

Battlefield 2 mic support

EA announced a recent update to the 360 version of the game fixing a mic problem and some game invite issues. Looks fairly minor but worth a look. Read the rest here.

Red Edition rundown

The Player’s Pack Red Edition consists of two new game modes, Assassination and Total Conquest, and five multi-player maps witch support all RS Vegas multiplayer game modes.

Game modes

Assassination mode

Total Conquest

This is a team-oriented, static control-point game mode where each map contains three (3) «Mobile Radar Installations" (control points). To win, a team must activate and maintain control of at least one of the three (3) «Mobile Radar Installations" locations for a given period of time

Border Town - Redux

Check out the full breakdown here.

Monday's one one se7en

Go check out the latest jab at the new Halo 2 maps here.

Paying for the privilege

The new 120gb hard drive selling for $179 is really just a $100 drive in M$'s proprietary plastic. They are charging $80/unit for putting it in the plastic case.

If I charged you $100 to kick you in the junk, this 120gb drive would look like a great deal.
