So!
I think Microsoft screwed up majorly with their new dashboard update coming on April 6th. Screwed up, I tell you.
It doesn’t matter how much they thought this through. The data on the USB flash drive will be accessable from the PC. This means that I will be able to modify my profile and/or save games in order to get unholy advantages in games – and this without having to modify the box itself.
I do prefer Xbox Live over PSN any day because of the way they are dealing with cheaters (even though it might take WEEKS for them to get banned) and people that modify their boxes – but this is going to really explode the number of people cheating on online games on Xbox Live.

Download the manual for this game by locating the game on http://marketplace.xbox.com and selecting “See Game Manual". Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and the new Avatar was discovered – an Airbender named Aang. And although his Airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he’s ready to save anyone. Aang has learned to Waterbend and now must master the remaining elements of Earth, then Fire. Time is running out. The race is on for Aang to master all the elements before Sozin’s comet passes the earth, increasing the strength of the Fire Nation and turning it into an unconquerable force.

It seems Major Nelson is announcing all sorts of goodies now!
What do you get when members of the Xbox LIVE team hang out with members of the Bing team? Good ideas…that’s what.
The next time your open your browser, swing over to Bing and and when you enter the magic search term, you’ll end up with the results of your search…PLUS a very special gift for your Xbox LIVE Avatar from the two teams. Grab it while you can, not sure how long it will be around.
Note: You’ll need to sign into the US version of Bing to see the gift.
Ofcourse, my Avatar will be equipped with this t-shirt later on tonight, most likely combined with the Modern Warfare 2 riot shield.
