<title><![CDATA[Netflix Content Coming in 'True HD' to Xbox 360 and PS3 Soon]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[

It was only a matter of time before Netflix sought to match the level of quality the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace offers with their movies and TV shows.  The mega movie distribution company announced today that streaming Netflix content from your console will soon support 1080p resolution as well as 5.1 surround sound support.

As of right now, all we know is that it will be coming later this year and while only 6% of Netflix's library supports true HD content, that number is sure to increase in the future.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[HDTV vs. SNES]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[I lost my HDTV virginity in 2006. It came at a time when I was starting the process of breaking ties with Nintendo console exclusivity, something I should have done far sooner. Considering the fact that I was a recovering Nintendo fanboy coming off the slow and agonizing death of GameCube in 2005, and the bone dry Nintendo console game drought in 2006, I was more than happy to "Jump In" with the Xbox 360 and spend the next year enjoying the awesomeness of Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo, Oblivion, and Gears of War in glorious HD. Immediately upon nabbing my 360, I swooped out the door and picked up a brand new 27" Samsung starter HDTV. Joyous with anticipation of the entrancing moment of liquid crystal ecstasy I was about to immerse myself in; I immediately placed that beautiful display in the middle of my entertainment shelf and hooked up all of my consoles to it. I spent the next week playing my new purchase like a mad man. At the end of the next week I decided it was time to mix things up and give the 360 a little break. I wanted to fire up the SNES (my favorite console of all time) and see how she looked on my new 720p beauty. Hoo boy, was I was in for a rotten surprise. ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Gran Turismo Series Reaches 55 Million Sold]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[

Sony and Polyphony Digital have updated the lifetime sales of the Gran Turismo series, revealing combined and individual sales of the games both worldwide and by region.

As of December 2009, the Gran Turismo series has sold around 55.4 million copies, putting it firmly within the top 20 console game franchises of all time.

The only two games in the franchises probably still affecting sales for Sony are Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Gran Turismo for the PSP. The latter is a low point for the franchise but the former is a high point for the Playstation 3.

Gamers who might doubt Gran Turismo 5's importance to the PS3 need only look to Prologue's numbers.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Molyneux Fears People Will Get "Super Pissed Off" at Fable III Reveal]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[You are going to kill Peter Molyneux.

At least, it seems that may be a fear the creator of Fable has, as he explained to Gamereactor during an interview that "There's some very, very big things happening in Fable III, and it's really going to upset people. I'm really scared when I go out and tell people what it is [that] they're going to get super pissed off. They really are."

But even then, he adds that "it's the right thing to do, man. I'm sure it's the right thing to do."

It has already been confirmed that the third Fable will somehow implement Project Natal, which could be what Molyneux feels may anger fans of the series... especially if it is a requirement for play, Destructoid guesses.

The Natal-utilizing Fable game will be shown at X10 this Thursday in San Francisco, so we might get to find out sooner than later if that is indeed what is feared to "piss off" gamers.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Do U Wii - December 09 & January 2010 Video Game Release Montage]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[It has been a little while since we last heard from TheWon's "Do U Wii," which was last seen in a two-part Christmas Shopping Showcase last month just before the holidays.  But now he's back, to wrap up not only the rest of December 2009, but give us the lowdown on January 2010's Wii offerings as well.

Part of the reason for the delay is that TheWon was upgrading his computer and editing tools; as a result, you can now view the following edition of Do U Wii in 360p, 480p, or 720p.  And now, without further ado:



I believe it was our own Daniel Sims who recommended The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces to me not that long ago, but I've not had the chance (nor the money) to check that (or anything else) out yet.  Seems like it definitely fills a niche in the Wii lineup that people have been asking for, though I think they expected Pilotwings or Star Fox to get there first.

And of course, No More Heroes 2 and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom just had to round things off.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Microsoft Registration Error Gets in the Way of Transferring Xbox HD Data to New Unit]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[It all began so simply: Ben purchased one of the new Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360's which include a 250 GB hard drive so that he could transfer his old game saves and downloads to the new unit.

Unfortunately, however, he ran into a problem with a Microsoft customer service representative named "Patrick," who would not let him purchase one of the company's data transfer kits.  The reason?  The registration information in Microsoft's system was not matching what Ben told them.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Cox Hatches Free PS3 Plan for Arizonans, Backfires]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[If both you and a friend were signed up for the same broadband service deal from the same company, you would probably expect that an offer he received would be just as applicable to you, right?

Well, that does not seem to be the case with Cox in Arizona.  They began offering a free slim PlayStation 3 to anyone who either signed up for a new account or upgraded their existing account for a 12-month contract.  Unfortunately, as one Cox subscriber learned, it doesn't quite work that way.  And as Cox learned, word-of-mouth advertising can backfire on you just as easily as it can help you.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[A Hamster's Influence on Super Mario Galaxy]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Nintendo is working on new hardware.  And EAD General Manager Shigeru Miyamoto is working on a new game (or possibly games) which utilize the Wii MotionPlus, and are not Zelda.

Neither of these statements, which came from Miyamoto's own mouth at the 13th Annual Japan Media Arts Festival on Saturday, really come as any surprise.  Nor does the fact that he was there to be awarded a "Special Achievement Prize" from the Agency of Cultural Affairs.

The biggest surprise, naturally, came through some of the developer's anecdotes, which include the influence a hamster had on his creation, the Nintendo icon we call "Mario."]]></description>
