New Enhanced Xbox 360 Warranty

Once you hit the jump you'll be reading a direct quote from Peter Moore, taken directly from the Xbox.com website. To find out more about the new enhanced warranty hit the jump or check out Major Nelson's blog, and download his latest show, where he interviews Peter Moore about the said warranty.

Open Letter From Peter Moore

To our Xbox Community:

You've spoken, and we’ve heard you. Good service and a good customer experience are areas of the business that we care deeply about. And frankly, we've not been doing a good enough job.

Some of you have expressed frustration with the customer experiences you have had with Xbox 360; frustration with having to return your console for service after receiving the general hardware error message on the console.

The majority of customers who own Xbox 360 consoles have had a terrific experience from their first day, and continue to, day in and day out. But when anyone questions the reliability of our product, or our commitment to our customers, it's something I take very seriously.

We have been following this issue closely, and with on-going testing have identified several factors that can cause a general hardware failure indicated by three flashing red lights on the console. To address this issue, and as part of our ongoing work, we have already made certain improvements to the console.

We are also implementing some important policy changes intended to keep you in the game, worry-free.

As of today, all Xbox 360 consoles are covered by an enhanced warranty program to address specifically the general hardware failures indicated by the three flashing red lights on the console. This applies to new and previously-sold consoles. While we will still have a general one year console warranty (two years in some countries), we are announcing today a three-year warranty that covers any console that displays a three flashing red lights error message. If a customer has an issue indicated by the three flashing red lights, Microsoft will repair the console free of charge—including shipping—for three years from the console’s purchase date. We will also retroactively reimburse any of you who paid for repairs related to problems indicated by this error message in the past. In doing so, Microsoft stands behind its products and takes responsibility to ensure that every Xbox 360 console owner continues to have a fantastic gaming experience.

If we have let any of you down in the experience you have had with your Xbox 360, we sincerely apologize. We are taking responsibility and are making these changes to ensure that every Xbox 360 owner continues to have a great experience.

This will take a few days to roll out globally, and I appreciate your continued patience as we launch this program. I've posted an FAQ that should address some additional questions, and we'll update it over the next few days.

I want to thank you, on behalf of all us at Microsoft, for your loyalty.

DS gets Camera, quirky game.

The DS is getting a rather slick looking camera that plugs into the GBA slot as you can see. I'm not sure if that image on the left is a live trace of the player, but if so it seems to be some pretty intense technology(looks like an avatar though). The game this comes packaged with is called 'Adult Face Training' Which I suppose helps paralysis victms as well as Jean Chretien...

Hit the jump for another pic of the cam, and a DS stand?

I'm not a huge fan of Camera Peripherals but I'm not totally against them...Maybe we'll get a DS printer too, since that was so successful on the GameBoy.

No More Heroes Preview on X-play

Courtesty: X-Play: The Musical

Since succumbing to societies arthritis (by that I mean , the law) and opting for a perfectly legal and hardly equipped satellite system I have been missing G4. I know many gamers cringe at the mentioning of the gaming network but I happen to love X-play and Attack of the Show. Anyways, I've had to crawl around their website and itunes to get my fix and low and behold look what they had for me. X-play has posted this preview of Suda 51's highly anticipated Wii title: No More Heroes. To get to the preview just hit 'VIDEOS' then 'X-PLAY' and then "NO MORE HEREOS PREVIEW'. Enjoy!

METROID 3 BLOW OUT!

Firstly, here are a plethora of beautiful screenshots over at neoGAF
GoNintendo has also posted this interview from GamePro which promises a very, very polished experience, no online multiplayer, and epic music. This second interview from Play Magazine
Is more of this same, but has some other interesting tidbits about the games development and what not. I could not be more excited for this game. Go out and play the other two if you haven't and slap down a pre-order for corruption because it sounds like it's going to be the best yet.

Big Japanese Devs shift focus to Nintendo hardware

It would seem that Old dogs can learn new tricks and everybody is jumping on board. The once ruler of the video game market (though always remaining the most profitable) is making a startling comeback as it's new formula proves innovation is key. Nintendo's glossy white warriors have been dominating the charts everywhere since launch. In Japan the Wii is selling out the PS3 3 to 1, while in North America that number is slightly less impressive at 2 to 1 - ya, thats still huge. Don't take my word for it though, Variety Asia entertainment is reporting that major Japanese developers are focusing on Wii and DS.

Hit the jump for a quote containing some surprising numbers.

Namco Bandai will up its Nintendo titles by 109% to 115; Sega by 96% to 49; and Capcom by 5% to 20. Meanwhile, the three majors intend to cut shipments of titles for Sony machines by 30%-40%.

Shipments of Nintendo titles will total 26.88 million units in fiscal 2007 vs. 23.29 million units of Sony game software. Capcom alone will boost its Nintendo shipments 81% to 4.7 million units.

hurts to be Sony, especially considering that Nintendo is catching up with them in overall worth aswell. Not bad for a 'games only' company.
