Halo 3 podría hacer la division XBOX rentable

No me extrañaría que terminara sindo rentable por las ventas de Halo 3, sabiendo el Hype que hay tras este título y que la gente está esperando que salga cuanto antes.
Yo seguiré esperando a GTAIV... que no es poco.

Evil Avatar - Halo 3 could make Xbox division profitable: "While Halo 3 is releasing right at the end of Microsoft's first fiscal 2008 quarter (which runs from July through September), Goldman-Sach's industry watchers are expecting the game to contribute about $170 million in revenue for the quarter, with more than 4.2 million copies shipped into the retail channel. That's nearly one copy for every three Xbox 360s in the world, going by the analysts' projections of an installed user base of 13.2 million by September."

La Union hace la fuerza en el Silent Hunter 4

Si la gente se organiza, es capaz de "obligar" a sacar un parche a una empresa como Ubi.
Bien hecho!.

Evil Avatar - Silent Hunter 4 will get a 1.3 patch thanks to fans.: "Silent Hunter 4 will get a 1.3 patch thanks to fans.
Silent Hunter 4 was release with a myriad of bugs. These bugs were attempted to be fixed via 2 different patches, however the game remained very buggy and unstable. Ubisoft was on the fence about continuing to support SH4, ready to jump ship and leave it to slowly sink beneath the problems. That is until the forum community got involved.

Silent Hunter Patch 1.3 officially announced.

As anyone familiar with the sim community knows, there are some very dedicated and demanding fans in that genre. Bug lists were formed and sent to Ubisoft, yet the official response was that a 1.3 patch was very unlikely. that is when a few dedicated SH4 fans over at the Ubisoft forums began organizing.

They formed polls and the typical forum threads to get Ubisoft's attention. Finally, krazyfrenchman over at the forums organized a 2-day call in to the Ubisoft support lines. Apparently Ubisoft received so many calls that memos were distributed to all the techs and a few days later Ubi announced that they would continue to support SH4 and try to clean up the mess that currently is Silent Hunter 4.

Some good news for the sub sim community and for all gamers who think that publishers never listen to the customer."

16 procesadores de AMD dan menos rendimiento que 8 de Intel

Una Mala noticia para AMD, que ve como Intel le gana la mano. Pot lo que parece 8 procesadores de Intel tienen mayor desempeño que 16 de AMD... veremos mas sobre esto en adelante.

TechAmok - Independent Technology News: "Intel is demonstrating a dual quad-core Xeon system at the Microprocessor Forum that is supposedly faster than four quad-core Barcelona processors. The machine is equipped with Intel's Workstation Board S5000XVN, 2 quad-core Xeons 5365, clocked at 3GHz and 16GB RAM. And the results are simply impressive: Intel scored over 4,900 pixels per seconds versus a little bit over 4,000 for AMD's 4 sockets quad-core (Barcelona) system. Again, this is an AMD 16 cores system versus Intel's 8 cores V8 machine."
