[h1]Xbox Germany Says New 360 Update Supports 1000 Friends[/h1]
Posted on October 14, 2010 by Dac



According to Xbox DE on Facebook, Microsoft is preparing a new Xbox 360 update which bumps the number of allowed Xbox Live friends from 100 to a whooping 1000.

Xbox DE writes via Facebook:

Eine von vielen langjährigen Xbox LIVE Usern gewünschte Änderung war das Limit der 100 Freunde. Mit dem Update könnt ihr jetzt bis zu 1.000 Freunde eurer Freundesliste hinzufügen. Wie viele Freunde habt ihr? Nicht genug? Dann sucht euch neue über den Freunde-Finder-Reiter!


Which roughly translates to:

A lot of long-term changes were desired by Xbox LIVE users considering the limit of 100 friends. With the [new] update, you can now have up to 1,000 friends of your friends list. How many friends do you have? Not enough? Then look for new friends on the Finder tab!


We’re hoping Xbox Germany is spot-on with this one. Of course, the idea of having the notification bar pop up every few seconds is a little discouraging.

No need for more than 100... OD if you ask me.

[h2]Halo: Reach Noble Map Pack coming Nov. 30 [/h2]
by Justin McElroy (5 hours ago)

True story: Just yesterday we were saying, "Huh, not as many people seem to be talking about Halo: Reach lately." Then, this morning we wake up to find that Bungie will be stoking the flames on November 30 with the downloadable Noble Map Pack. Get out of our heads, creeps!

Ten bucks gets you access to three new environments. The first is Tempest (pictured), an abandoned shoreline facility featuring two symmetrical bases for 8 – 16 player fights. Anchor 9, an orbital dry-dock controlled by the UNSC, is a more intimate 2-8 player affair. Finally, there's Breakpoint, a series of frozen, modular archaeological labs for 8-16 players fracases. Oh, and there are 250 more Achievement points to be had, which we know is all you really care about. Monster.

If that's still not enough new Halo, Bungie's challenging fans to make some of their own with the "Forgetacular Map Design Contest," the full details of which are right here. We'd love to participate, but we'll be too busy making foil hats to protect our precious thought waves.

quick question,

I just picked up a 4GIG xbox 360 slim. On the box it says it comes with a 1 month xbox live gold membership. Is there supposed to be a code somewhere in the box? Because right now i am currently still a silver member.

3 maps for 10 bucks. 3 maps. THREE MAPS?

Go fk yourself bungie.

 

[steve cash]

those maps are probably gonna suck

 

[xblaze23]

Three Maps? I LOVE Halo but c'mon son. I had a great time with the Mythic map pack for Halo 3 but I couldn't help but feel violated after I paid $10 for those three maps.

[h2]Xbox holiday bundle with Forza 3, downloadable Alan Wake headed to multiple territories [/h2]
by Richard Mitchell (5 hours ago)

Just in case you were worried that there weren't quite enough Xbox 360 bundles to choose from, it looks like Microsoft has another one headed down the pike. The bundle in question includes a 250GB Xbox 360 S console as well as Alan Wake and the eternal pack-in, Forza Motorsport 3. The image above -- pulled directly from one of Microsoft's retailer resource services -- is denoted as a Canadian bundle.

Siliconera also reports that the bundle has been announced for South Korea at a price of 398,000 won ($356). A tipster has informed Kotaku that the bundle is available in Europe as well, retailing for €250 ($34. We've contacted Microsoft to find out if the bundle is coming stateside as well.

One intriguing note about the bundle: It doesn't actually include a physical copy of Alan Wake, instead offering a code to download the game in its entirety (see a close-up image in the gallery below). While it's likely to be a Games on Demand title in the near future, it's also worth noting that Remedy has expressed interest in releasing the game in downloadable episodes, a la Fable 2.

[h1]Xbox 360 4GB bundle deal featured on Microsoft Store[/h1]

The Microsoft Store has launched a decent deal on an Xbox 360 S 4GB bundle. For $250, the bundle includes the 4GB system, two wireless controllers, a year of Xbox Live Gold and 4000 Microsoft Points (a.k.a. $50 worth of Xbox bucks). All of these items purchased separately would normally cost $350, so you're technically saving $100. However, we'd be remiss not to point out that if you ever want a hard drive, it'll run you another $130.

Of course, you could stave off the inevitable with a liberal dose of flash drives, or, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, you could always mod that old Xbox hard drive.
