| Has Microsoft gimped 3rd party video on purpose? | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 9th, 2012 | Not long after the release of the new, Kinect-driven “Metro” dashboard for the Xbox 360, people noticed a degradation of video playback quality.

If it worked.Last Friday, UFC 141 was meant to be available to watch - as ... [»] |

| FFD: Why Do We Support Game Companies That Don’t Care About Us? | 
Nick de Bruyne - December 15th, 2011 | Being South African means you get a good grip on what it feels like to be left out.
I take DICE and EA for example, who are happy to take full price from us for Battlefield 3 in South Africa, with absolutely no intentions of hosting dedicated console servers for us, something that the rest of the world gets quite happily. MWEB (local ... [»] |

Gavin Mannion - December 9th, 2011 | So I was messing around with the new dashboard interface last night to see how it works with Kinect and if there was anything that really blew me away and I noticed that in the bottom corner there was a microphone and a little speech bubble that said “Say Xbox”
