    0 starscraighal | Shared With: Everyone - Oct 05 2007 | microsoft, xbox, xbox 360

    The timing of this seems very strange. Why do this right after the release of Halo 3? Is there some way to construe this as a good thing for Microsoft?

    Quoted: Microsoft Corp said on Friday that Bungie, the crown jewel of its video game unit behind the hit Halo; franchise, will become a separate company, opening the possibility that it could make titles for Microsoft rivals.

    Quoted: "As far as anybody should be concerned, it's business as usual with Bungie. The only difference is that they are now employees of Bungie, not employees of Microsoft," Shane Kim, head of Microsoft Game Studios, told Reuters.

    Are you an Elitist?

    Quoted: The Xbox 360 has gone Elite, as Microsoft launched yesterday the high-end version of its video game console. With a larger storage capacity, a sleek matte-black look and a high-definition video port, the Xbox 360 Elite will retail for $479.

    In general, (Gartenberg) said he found the Elite to be "a nice evolution for the console. It adds HDMI and a larger hard drive," which supports the console's growing profile as a hub for entertainment beyond games. "If you look at the whole Xbox line," he said, "it's laid out pretty well, from low to high."
