New Asian Xbox 360 Bundle


Just found news on a new Asian Halo 3 Xbox 360 bundle:

http://asia.cnet.com/crave/2008/01/31/microsoft-ushers-in-cny-with-festive-xbox-bundle/

"Microsoft is back teasing gamers with yet another festive Xbox 360 promotion. This time round, the Redmond company is offering its 20GB Xbox 360 Pro console, two wireless controllers, hot-selling Halo 3 and one-month Xbox Live gold subscription all for S$669 (US$440.13). Compared to the previous S$649 (US$426.97) Xmas Vinva Pinta and Forza Motorsport 2 bundle, this Chinese New Year package offers even better bang-for-the-buck with the controllers and game alone worth a total of S$226.70 (US$149.14).

If you have been holding back a purchase so far, this is probably a good opportunity to give the HD console a second thought. Afterall, you will certainly need some form of entertainment to keep your guests (especially the restless little ones) occupied during the festive holidays. And just in case you have this burning question back in your mind, the consoles are neither auspiciously dressed in tasty mandarin orange nor feminine red packet hues. Yup, too bad!

The above-mentioned pricing is meant for the Singapore market. Pricings for Hong Kong and Taiwan are HK$3,199 and NT$13,680, respectively. "

Gamers based in the Philippines: How to get in Xbox Live

NOTE: This article has recently been updated (as of August 12, 2006). Singapore no longer lets you input '00000' as your zip code. Please see below for alternate zip codes. So you're a Filipino living in the Philippines with a brand-spanking new Xbox 360. You've heard about all the wonderful stories on Xbox Live. You happen to have a pretty good broadband connection. One day, you try out the Xbox Live sign-up options on your 360, and you find out to your dismay that your country is NOT listed. What do you do? Now, you can probably enjoy your 360 without live at all, but I have to tell you: YOU ARE MISSING OUT. As Peter Moore said in the recent MS Press Conference: "Having your 360 connected to Xbox Live is as vital as having your computer connected to the Internet". He is so damned right. I've been playing on Xbox Live for almost a year now (both on my original Xbox and the Xbox 360). Essentially I found out all of this with a little bit of research, a lit...

Lost Odyssey Theme Song - "What You Are" by Sheena Easton

I've uploaded the theme song for Lost Odyssey in YouTube. Check out the video below: At first, I wasn't so into the song but when I heard it in full it grows on you. The song is actually quite beautiful. It was sung by Sheena Easton. With the lyrics from Hironobu Sakaguchi and the composition by Nobuo Uematsu. Very moving song, specially once you understand the lyrics. Below are the lyrics for the song "What You Are" by Sheena Easton When you touch me It feels just like a dream With the warmth that's in your eyes When you look at me I hear your voice beside me It whispers to me I can't hide how it makes me feel The shyness you see I may never Understand how deep it goes But I know how I feel What I hold deep in my heart There's just no way to stop this It's hopeless but true I feel this love More than anything So what more can I do You know I thought I would be much stronger than I am But then I feel the boldness that's inside my heart Just melt aw...

Soulcalibur IV CPU AI in Versus Mode...

...is quite fun to play against. Set it to 'VERY HARD' difficulty and you've got a virtual sparring partner to play against if no local players are online to play against. The difficulty levels in VERSUS MODE for the AI are Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, and Edge Master. "Very Hard" difficulty puts up a good fight, though since it is a CPU opponent it won't pull any surprises or weird tricks that human players usually do. I haven't gotten around to playing against 'Edge Master' difficulty but that's a personal decision because I don't want to get too stressed out playing the game. Practicing in VERSUS MODE against the AI is a great way to test out your own tricks and figure out some new ways to play. Of course, the best test of your own skills in Soulcalibur IV is to play against a human opponent, but when you can't find one (whether online or off), VERSUS MODE against AI is a nice alternative. To play against AI, choose 'VERSUS MOD...
