There you have it; your resident 360 fanboy commenting on the the Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD format war. I should probably blog to the world my true feelings on the matter, and why I think we should all go home. Much ado has been made regarding the recent Paramount HD-DVD exclusivity deal, and while I do agree this will string out the battle for quite a bit longer, there are two major points that I don’t think HD-DVD supporters like to think about:
There’s a new way to share your files today, and its name is Skydrive (beta). Microsoft announced the public beta today of their new Windows Live service. The application currently offers 500mb of online storage through Windows Live.
While other services exist that give you remote storage, Skydrive offers a slick interface and a couple of nice features. First, with Skydrive you can share your files with specific Live users, the public, or nobody at all. Second, for bloggers and web developers, you can embed access to those files through HTML. Finally, Skydrive gives you the option of drag-and-drop uploading into your browser, so you can dump heaps of precious documents photos, etc… into your Skydrive at a time. The interface also offers a thumbnail view, which makes this service ideal for sharing and storing photos and media.
More information on the beta is available at the SkyDrive team’s blog: http://skydriveteam.spaces.live.com/
So far, my impression is: "neat." I don’t really have too much more to say about it just yet. It seems like the limited storage is the only downside at this point. Anyone have any public folders they’d care to share with the wide world of Interscription?

My recent writers/image posting block has been temporarily been lifted to bring you this Amazing video of awesome.. It Answers the Burning question if it is in fact possible to have the ability to play Your favorite 360 games with the WiiMote. . That question has indeed been answered with the XIM (Xbox 360 Input Machine). It is the brain child of some resourceful lad and demonstrated for you with the Magic of YouTube. While this Item is a MacGuyver-esque home brewed invention it does indeed prove that the impossible can be made possible. Yes Virgina, there is a Santa Claus and He’s playing Halo 2.
