Special Edition Final Fantasy Xbox with 250GB HDD

February 10th, 2010 Nick Kortendick No comments

imageAs you can see to the right, there is a picture of the brand new, special edition Final Fantasy XIII Xbox. The bundle allegedly includes an Xbox 360 with a 250GB HDD and Final Fantasy XIII. Recently the Xbox Support Twitter announced, “Final Fantasy XIII special edition Xbox 360 (with 250GB HDD!!!) bundle coming to the US!” They immediately, after realizing it hasn’t been officially announced by Microsoft of Square Enix responded with another tweet. But with some common sense, we can all expect to see it announced at the X10 media event later this week.

Update: Surely Enough this was announced at X10, see the full release here.

Review: Konnet Power Pyramid (Controller Charging Station)

February 2nd, 2010 Kristofer Brozio No comments

Hello All! Today I’ve got another Xbox360 accessory review for you, this one though is for yourkonnet11 controllers. Buying the charge and play kits can be expensive, and it’s cheaper to just buy a battery by itself as we know. The problem here is that you’ll need at least one charging cable, and then if you’ve got four controllers you have to share that cable with all of them so charging can take quite a while.

Konnet has sent me over the Power Pyramid Xbox360 Controller Charging Station for review today. The Power Pyramid can charge four controllers at one time, and comes with a power supply so you don’t have to worry about USB ports. It’s a product that looks good, and works well, it’s great accompaniment to your Xbox360…

Review: Xbox 360 Starter Pack

December 31st, 2009 Kristofer Brozio No comments

starter3

Most of the reviews we’ve done here are games, but I think it’s time we got started with some accessory reviews as well. MobileFun is a company based out of the UK and they carry mobile stuff like phones and accessories. They also carry game related products so they sent me over a nice little, inexpensive starter kit for the Xbox360 for review. It’s aptly named the Xbox 360 Starter Pack and it includes a nice long HDMI cable, full sized headset and a remote that is similar to the Xbox one but only smaller. The price is about $30, so that’s basically $10 for each part of the pack and that’s not a bad price really. So read on to learn more…

360 Blue Blood Controller Modkit

October 5th, 2009 Allen Kim No comments

Priced at $30, XCM is selling this Blue Blood Xbox 360 Controller Modkit.  Replacing the default white color is an easy on the eyes blue shell with glowing LEDs to match.  The D-Pad is supposed to be larger with an enhanced design for easier movement too (not sure how much improvement you’ll get without testing it first).

*Update: Currently Out of Stock at Total Console, looks like you may have to wait before it’s available again.

NBA 2K10 10th Anniversary Edition

June 30th, 2009 Allen Kim No comments

In honor of their 10th anniversary, 2K Sports is rolling out a special edition package for all the ballers out there. As crazy as I am about the NBA 2K series, with a price tag of $99.99, only the most hardcore of fans (or Kobe Bryant fanatics) will probably want to buy this.  I’d be a bit more inclined to buy if a certain #3, *cough* Wade, was the cover athlete.  However, it comes with some really cool swag.  Digging the locker and fresh design on the poster.

Included in this package:

  • Copy of NBA 2k10
  • Poster of Kobe Bryant
  • Kobe Bryant figurine
  • Video about the history of the NBA 2Kfranchise
  • Access to the “Gold Room” (VIP Online Lobby)
  • Storage Locker (Capacity: 20 games)
