Its official - XBOX ROCKS!

Hey gang,

Some quick hits -

Kitchen is going good - check out the photo gallery in the links section to the right side for some pics.

Chris is almost 10 months old! He is so funny and awesome :D I could not be more proud of my family with a loving wife and wonderful son.

and XBOX ROCKS! Lets summarize

+ Netflix on xbox
+ download games to HDD and not run the DVD drive every time
+ New menus
+ Cheaper price.. and if my xbox happens to break after they run out of the 20GB versions, the only other ones are the 60gb and the 120gb versions... darn.


Datails below:
"The second year of the pared down E3 Business and Media Summit in L.A. kicked off this week with Microsoft making some big announcements for the Xbox 360. Microsoft announced a new partnership with Netflix that allows the Xbox 360 to stream movies and TV shows from Netflix directly to your TV.

The new service is designed to complement the existing Xbox Live Video Marketplace says Kotaku, not replace it. One of the best features of the Netflix streaming service is that Xbox 360 owners who already subscribe to Netflix and have an Xbox LIVE Gold account will pay nothing more for the service

The Xbox 360 will get the ability to play games from the hard drive. That means players can rip disc-based games to the hard drive, the catch is that the original game disc has to be in the drive to play them. That means the only benefit is that the games are said to load faster."
