The Xbox 360 has changed since its launch in 2005.
That much is transparently clear from the updated version that debuted in 2010.
The
Xbox 360 S is smaller, sleeker and quieter than the previous model and
designed to banish the infamous 'Red Ring of Death' hardware failure
that forced Microsoft to extend its warranty on the system.
Likewise
the arrival of Kinect, which has gone on to sell over 10 million units,
has transformed the machine from solely the preserve of hardcore gamers
to a casual gamer friendly environment.
While some of the novelty
of Kinect may have worn off, if anything the games are improving –
finding new ways to take advantage of what is still fascinating
technology.
But Microsoft is and always has been a software
company first and foremost and, fittingly, that's where the Xbox 360 has
changed the most. The NXE update of 2008 binned the old 'blades' system
for an interface that was more welcoming to multimedia content and 2011
has seen another major update to the console's operating system. One so
substantial, we've felt it necessary to update this review to reflect
what a different machine it is.
Whether it's the old model or the
new one, the Xbox 360 has now comprehensively changed from a machine
primarily about playing games, with a modest selection of online content
attached, to a fully featured entertainment and media hub. The
majority of forms of digital entertainment are catered for, there are
extensive social networking features available and a new TV tab aims to
replace traditional digital boxes with IPTV and catch up services.
The
new dashboard, based around the Metro design language that also
features in Windows 8 and Windows Phone 7, is a far busier interface,
but it's reflective of the huge amounts of content now available within
the walled garden of Xbox Live.
Getting to it all has always been
the challenge and Microsoft has made admirable steps towards making that
a straightforward process.
Apple iPhone 8 specifications may not have been finalized yet Initially, there were many reports suggesting the iPhone 8 launch would get delayed due to some manufacturing issue. Proving all the speculations wrong, last week Apple sent out invites for the launch event that is to take place on September 12. As usual, the name of the product was not mentioned in the official invite. However, judging from the company's past launching pattern, we are quite sure the iPhone 8 will get launched at the event. Now, with just 4 days left until the launch date, a report by The Investors has revealed a shocking piece of information. According to the publication, the specs line up of the iPhone 8 is not finalized yet. The website claims to have obtained the information from an anonymous representative from Apple's local supplier. The supplier says that the shipments of the 2017 iPhones started only from late August. He further added that its firms are yet to get exact details on t...
Qualcomm confirms: Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 will boast Snapdragon 835 Soc Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is only a week away from an official launch and after the release of several videos and poster teasers from Xiaomi it has now been confirmed by Qualcomm that the upcoming device will indeed house Snapdragon 835 chipset for advanced processing. The release of all of this information is quite a proof that Xiaomi is trying to gain as much attention as possible for the successful launch of its flagship device. Chinese division of the world's most popular mobile processor manufacturer published on its Weibo Page that Mi Mix 2 will boast the best processor from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 835. Mi Mix 2's predecessor Mi Mix was equipped with Snapdragon 821 which was the best processor from Qualcomm when the Mi Mix was released. Mi Mix 2 boasting the Snapdragon 835 is not much of a surprise since the device will retail in high-mid price segment. However, it is quite conclusive that Xiaomi does n...
HTC One E8 Review Introduction Not long after HTC made the aluminum-clad HTC One M8 public, we started hearing about a lookalike One device that would copy the M8's look and internals, but forgo metal altogether, and instead opt for a cheaper, polycarbonate shell. Subsequently released as the One E8 , it seems to us that HTC's plastic flagship likely has one purpose: to allow the company to experiment with a different approach towards the flagship model, and perhaps even make a few new fans in the process. Apart from the body, however, and the inclusion of a higher resolution, 13-megapixel camera, much everything else about the E8 mirrors the M8's spec sheet. But is that a recipe for success or disaster? Time to find out. Design It is what it is: the One E8 is simply the One M8 re-done in polycarbonate....
