Microsoft has decided that if you want to make an Xbox Live app for the iPhone, you will have to give it away for free.

 

The coders behind the 1337pwn Friends List were contacted by Microsoft and were told they could keep their app on the App Store -- but only by reducing the price to Zero.

 

We have looked at a similar previously, and were fairly unimpressed, so perhaps this is a quality-verus-branding issue for Microsoft and they just don't want people to be charged for limited functionality.

 

It is just possible, though, that this is merely leading up to the announcement of an official Live Anywhere iPhone app. Oh, and the Zune, obviously. We wouldn't want to forget the Zune.

 

Of corse, they had to say this after I spent £0.59 on this app

Its official, the end of the world is nigh!

 

We still don’t believe it either; but thanks to Tales of Vesperia’s hand-over-foot money grabbing techniques, there are no more Xbox 360s on Japanese shelves. None.

 

Just to drive the point home, Microsoft has released a statement about the newly Xbox-bereft nation, which Kotaku translated:

 

“Currently, the Xbox 360 is sold out, and retailers are unable to restock their supply,†reads the statement. “This is a result of our own sales targets being exceeded by the actual customer sales. We deeply apologize for this inconvenience to our customers, retailers and business partners.â€

 

Additionally, Microsoft notes that Xboxes of all varieties and flavors will sequentially populate the shelves once September rolls around. Until then, though, Vesperian hopefuls are on their own.

 

Expect a second statement concerning hell’s scarf shortage in the coming days.

Microsoft have confirmed that they are releasing a special limited edition controller for the 360 with an improved D-Pad to coincide with the release of PES 2009. Apparently this new more 'loose' feeling D-Pad will also work with SF IV.

That looks exactly the same as the normal one...?

Apparently its 'rockier' (???) than the old one according to IGN and has a deeper base allowing the pad to roll more easily. I'm quite intrigued by it cos if there's one thing I hate about the 360 pad its that god-awful D-pad.

Its more the fact that its a "circular" D-pad and more that it feels like a sort of weird analogue stick/D-pad cross bred thing.

Haha - never read it described quite like that before!:heh:

But I agree, it just doesn't recognise movement accurately enough for me especially when I press down on it, it always seems to think I'm pressing left:shakehead

Some good games Haden. I found it funny when I accidentally Lasered a friendly Banshee. To be fair, the Banshee got in the way - the laser only just missed it's intended target.
