Wanna buy a Xbox Live account?

Want lots of gamersocore with out playing games to get it? Want a twitter account that already has a few 100 followers? Well if you do I have the site for you. It's called Assetize. It is a website where you can buy and sell different type of internet accounts. The list of accounts includes Xbox Live, PSN, twitter, plus other email and social networking sites. There really is no limit to what type of account you can sell. I think the idea of paying money for any type of account is just stupid. I am kind of surprised that this site is still around because I know that it is against Microsoft's TOS to transfer a Xbox Live account, and I am quite sure that it is the same way for many other sites who's accounts that are being bought and sold on this site. One problem with this site is that it could lead to a larger amount of account theft. But I'm not saying the site should be shut down, as long as the web sites do not have a problem with their accounts being sold. Then I see no reason why this site should be closed.

Thanks to Samir for the tip

Well It Finally Happened

My 360 has officially red ringed. First time with me as the owner, second time in the consoles life.

Halo 3 Beta

So as many of you know the halo 3 beta is ending tonight. I am sad to say that I did not get a chance to play the beta, but at the same time I will be all the more surprised on September 25. My reasoning for this post is what happened during the time the beta was active. You might have heard that people used some sort of a network glitch to get into custom games. Bungie why did you even have the code there to allow custom games. Why not just release the beta with out any of the text, menus, and even the options that were not used in the Matching Making part of the Beta. One other thing why did you (Bungie) leave in all the references to the Single player levels, why not replace the names of the levels with level 1, level 2... and that way the hackers would find out how many levels are in the game. And while your changing the names switch it so that they only find a reference too one level. After this Beta if in the final game there better not be any glitches in the game. Also why did you use Crackdown as a way in too the Beta. Ether let everyone in or make it exclusive. Don't force bunch of people to buy or rent a game just to play a DEMO of a game. It's a beta for crying out loud, you should want to get the most number of people as you can. But know this is Bungie, Microsoft's slave. I have to say from a business point of view it was genius. But I don't think that should be your goal. Your goal should to make a great game, if you do that then you should have no problem making money.

Letter to Microsoft

Dear Microsoft,
First off I have to say great start with the 360, but you getting close to messing it up. Why are you release a new 360 SKU? Your new system can not compete with the PS3, I see why you are releasing a new Hard drive, but why not just make all portable hard drives compatible with the 360. Or make a bigger one but ad it to the current SKU. If you think you must make a new SKU, put the new 65nm chip, HDMI 3.0, a larger hard drive and the HD-DVD drive. And let it all go for under $550. I know it's crazy but if you want to compete with the PS3 for the hard-core and Techies you gotta do it.
Next up Japan. All I can say is stop trying. It's a waste of money. The people over there are to loyal to Nintendo and Sony. It's easier to sell to first time buyers then to people that have bought a console from the same company for that last 3 consoles cycles. Focus all your resources on the US and Europe. You could maybe start thinking on China, it's only a matter of time before that market explodes.
I have to say I like what your doing with digital distribution. I think it's the wave of the future. I hope you stick by it for the long haul. One thing I think you should ad to the Video Marketplace is more Movies and T.V. shows obviously and maybe more of a Netflix way of rentals. Say $10 a month (twice that of Netflix) but say unlimited downloads per month. You have much less cost then Netflix because you don't have to pay for the DVDs or the shipping or anything else, just licensing.

I hate the original song but it's still kinda catchy. Here is a better version for all the Microsoft fanboys out there.
