We are at this time working with H-ZONE Media to bring XBO back and get it running again. Stats show that our readers have not lost hope that XboxNowOnline will once again go live, and I as the XBO Editor in Chief have not lost that hope either. H-ZONE Media is working hard to get the 2010 budget to support XBO's return and as of this moment, it looks like we will be reporting gaming news in no time. I will keep you posted and I hope that you stick with us as we bring XBO back up to speed.
We are looking for volunteer staff writers, please do email me at hamza@xboxnowonline.com if you are interested.
The Xbox 360 Console is getting some more new software upgrades as Microsoft has announced that they are going to bring Silverlight (their version of Flash) to the Xbox 360. With Silverlight, video could be presented through Xbox LIVE with 1080p HD and full 5.1 Surround Sound. Not only that, but advertisers would also have a whole new platform to work with in bringing you ads on the Xbox 360 (...), also in high definition. The ads, according to Sean Alexander (Director of MS Advertising Business Group) will allow for user interactivity, which seems like cool thing. Not really sure how I feel about all the advertisements though. The Silverlight technology is set to hit the Xbox 360 sometime within this year.
Well, here is some good news for all those who experienced the E74 error on their Xbox 360 consoles. In the case that you ended up paying for the repair, you should have a fresh check from Microsoft by now*. If you still don't have a check yet, be sure to contact Microsoft before November 1st of this year to make a claim via Xbox Support.
