The Mole: Spring Break Edition


Extreme Makeover: Console Edition - According to Game Informer magazine the Xbox 360 is getting a Star Jones-sized makeover. A new edition of Microsoft's next-gen (Or is it now current-gen? Someone needs to make a ruling on this.) console will be available sometime this summer and will eventually phase out the current Xbox 360 model.
.
The new Xbox 360 Elite will have an HDMI output for faster multi-media downloads and come in a black case that contains a 120GB hard drive (something it should have had in the first place). It will also come with an HDMI cable, a black controller and is tentatively priced at $479. Gamers who already own a 360 will be able to buy the new hard drive but the price hasn't been confirmed yet.

Dan Marino loves his new figure - Speaking of makeovers, has anyone noticed the new and improved www.bungie.net? It appears Bungie is streamlining its website for its Halo 3 release. I thought the old sight was great but now its like remembering those conversations 4 years ago about Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Everyone was wondering who would come out on top and now we're laughing about that same discussion after seeing Britney's shaved head all over the internet. But I digress.
.
Etc. - Nintendo recently announced its Opera web browser for the Wii that was set to be released this month has been pushed back to an as yet undetermined date in April...New content for Marvel Ultimate Alliance will soon be available. Next month gamers will be able to buy hero and villain expansion packs letting them play as old favorites such as the Incredible Hulk, Cyclops, Hawkeye, Nightcrawler, Magneto, Sabretooth, Venom and Doctor Doom...The PSP recently "celebrated" its 2 year anniversary. And by celebrated I mean hanging its head in shame at a birthday party no one showed up to because it consistently has its hat handed to it by the DS.
