Xbox 360 Portable Concept Introduced
I’m sure Microsoft is planning a portable Xbox 360 device; after all, if Sony can develop one, Redmond can do it as well. Meanwhile, until it happens, we have a chance to look at an interesting portable concept that was emerged on T3 magazine, opening our appetite and our gaming imagination. This handheld concept features an all-in-one device, including a Microsoft Zune, XBox 360 and a mobile phone, packed in a sexy slim and sleek case, with gaming buttons on the right side and directions pad to the left. Honestly, I will be stoked having only an Xbox 360 portable device without the phone or the Zune included, so if people from Microsoft are listening, we do yearn for one of those.

Xbox 360 Gets a Glowing Green Case
I must admit, i’m not a modding aficionados, but this new glowing green Xbox 360 neon case from XCM looks great, specially with the semi-translucent look that provides inner glance at the console itself. There’s no word on price but it should be available soon, so if you’re looking for a unique design for your gaming box, this might be a nice solution.

Is Microsoft Planning To Open Unique Retail Stores?
Headstrong rumors claiming that Microsoft considers the opening of unique retail stores that will conspicuously market its own products. There is no doubt that Microsoft managers jealously squint at Apple’s success, thinking they can do the same, if not better. The only problem is that Apple has more hardware products to sell rather than Microsoft’s dominant software-based assortment. I mean, it’s not that Microsoft doesn’t have tangible things to offer, after all it does sell some great products like the Xbox 360 console, the Zune player, or complementary goods like video games and the accessories involved, not to mention the other peripherals such as webcam, keyboard or mouse. In addition, Microsoft sell retail software like Windows Vista and Microsoft Office, via affiliate partners and retailers. However, I’m not so sure it is the same variety as Apple’s products, including Mac, iPod and iPhone, with all the assorted accessories. Still, these are just rumors and I haven’t seen some major steps, coming from Microsoft direction, to carry out this project, but I am more than sure it crossed some Redmond minds. True or false, great or wrong, only time would tell.

PlayStation 3 GTA IV Package Hits Europe
Remember the Xbox 360 limited-edition version, bundled with Grand Theft Auto IV? Turns out Sony has the same thing, as a 40GB PS3 console, packed with the desired game, has popped up in a Swedish retailer’s website, offering a nice designed GTA IV case along with all the required accessories. Price is extremely high, since the Scandinavian market is very expensive, but even though, 4,499 SEK ($755) won’t deter fanatic gamers from purchasing it. No details when this special edition is set to be released in the US, but be sure it will, for a much cheaper price.

XCM Introduces a Chrome Cover Shell For Xbox 360
I don’t really like this whitish Xbox 360 color, i think it’s dull and pale. To serve my desires (and others), XCM has created a really cool chrome Xbox 360 case, compatible with the HDMI ports. This new metallic mirrored shell will shine on your desk for merely $60, but if you want a matchable skin for your controllers, it should be $25 each, which makes this escapade a bit expensive and very smudgy.

Acer To Penetrate The Game Consoles Market?
I received a twitter message last night, stating there’s a rumor that Acer is planning to get into the games console market. Personally, i embrace any new player, coming into a jammed territory, i really think it can contribute to the competition and provide us, the gamers, more game titles, better graphics and advanced accessories. However, Acer need to create something really good in order to deflect our attention from PS3, Wii or XBOX 360 consoles. According to Acer Senior Vice President, James T.Wong, the company plans to create sort of an open platform console, based on “game machine” PC technology, and take this advantage to compete with all other closed and proprietary systems. Regretfully, there’s nothing more to say other then this dull info, so stay tuned.

Microsoft Xbox 360 HD DVD Drive Gets Official Price
Microsoft published the official price for the latest Xbox 360 HD DVD drive, so you can snatch one for 129.99$ though it is a manufacturer’s suggested retail price only. Therefor, you might find it cheaper on the shelves, but i’m not sure it will hit big time in view of the HD DVD gloomy situation.
