Killer Instinct 3 May Be Xbox 360 Exclusive
It's been rumored by EGM that Killer Instinct 3 is in the works and headed exclusively to the Xbox 360. Rare's popular fighting series that once appeared on the SNES and N64, may also be in 3D.
This is coming off a string of hits for Rare such as Perfect Dark Zero, Viva Pinata, and Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise. However, with the upcoming Banjo Kazooie appearing to be drastically different than it's N64 BJ Kazooie predecessors, many are speculating that KI3 may be geared more towards homosexuals. We'll keep you posted!

No Blu-ray for Xbox 360
For awhile now, there have been some rumors of an Xbox 360 coming equipped with a Blu-ray player in the near future. Of course, this wouldn't be for game purposes, but for watching movies.
Well, thankfully, Microsoft's Shane Kim has laid those ridiculous rumors to rest. Kim, the head of Microsoft Games Studios, was quoted in an article on Home Media Magazine as saying that while Blu-ray “provides some visual boost for people who want a physical HD format”, Microsoft does not see “that format taking off, in general.” He also stated that Microsoft is not working on any kind of Blu-ray add-on for the 360.
I for one would much rather have games on a few different disks, than on one Blu-ray. Ever heard of file compression?

Red Hulk Exclusive to Xbox 360!
Another big blow against Sony today. Gamestop has stated that if you buy the Xbox 360 version of The Incredible Hulk video game from their store on June 6th, you will be able to unlock the Red Hulk, exclusive only to the 360! Looks like Sony gets another inferior version of a multi-platform video game.

One of the great things on the LIVE and only community is that we are working hard to ensure a level playing field for all players and have no tolerance policy towards inappropriate behavior like hacking or cheating. As part of our commitment to our members, we are not allowing people we have found that mod their console to connect to live. This is an important part of our efforts to try to create an environment for fair play the vast majority of players who play by the rules. This issue is more important than ever given the recent release of the beta of Halo 3rd As a result, some consumers who try to connect to LIVE that illegally modified their console, will receive an error code (Status Code: Z: 8015 - 190D) tries to connect to the service. These users are not automatically banned from live, but they are no longer able to access the service at the console.
