If you have an old Xbox 360 console and you just bought a new one, you may wonder how to transfer all the licensed contents (games and other contents)  stored in the old system to the new Xbox 360. Now, thanks to Licence Transfer Tool you can do it without any problem. As a matter of fact all you have to do is follow a  two-steps process on Xbox 360 website License Migration. During the first step you have to transfer your authorized licenses on the Xbox website. The second step instead lets you download the transferred licenses onto your new Xbox 360. See, there is nothing else as simple as this, believe me!

This big monolith which reminds me of the movie 2001: a space odyssey is the brand new portable hard disk drive (HDD) recently released by Seagate called Maxtor Central Axis. Lately the market has been floated by big mass storage devices such as Iomega Super eGo whose capacity reaches stunning figures. The new Seagate’s baby makes no exception.

1. 7,200 rpm drive with 32MB of cache.
2. 172mm x 63.3mm x 150.3mm and weighs 680g.

That’s one of those news which could make somebody really happy or really thunderstruck! The endless war between the two giants namely Sony and Microsoft has come to an end, at least in Europe. In fact a few days ago Sony stated “We have sold more PlayStation 3s throughout Europe than Xbox 360 even though they launched 16 months before us.” Mr Reeves, head of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, also said 12 million PSP handheld consoles and 48 million PlayStation 2s had been sold in Europe. Anyway despite all this fanfare both Sony and Microsoft are well behind the fabulous Nintendo Wii.

This is a news I really want to report because, well, I am a big fan of Wii (I own one of it). I hope PS3 and Xbox guys are not feeling offended but, the guys at iSuppli are projecting that somewhere this year, Wii will overcome Xbox 360, becoming in this way the first console most sold in the world. The analysis puts the number of sold Wii over 30 millions compared to Xbox that anyway will manage to sell a considerable 26 millions, and PS3 that will reach around 25,7 millions. I am more than happy about this news and I hope we will see more consideration from the big game companies toward this little console, that only too often has been neglected. Wi is the real revolution that, thanks to its innovative way of playing and its cheap price, has totally changed the way people play with videogames. Kudos for Wii!

So, after having dreamed of it for some months, Xbox 360 HD DVD Player becomes official at last! As a matter of fact you can see it and buy it on the Xbox website. The price is set at $129.99 and includes a free HD DVD of King Kong and an offer for five free HD DVDs by mail. To make the device work you don’t have to spend hour trying to understand what to do. Just plug it into your Xbox and start watching your preferred movies! For those people who are not into HD technology I would like to remind that to watch HD movies it is not suficient to buy the mentioned Xbox HD player. Actually you need to own a HD ready flat screen.
