Xbox360 now outselling PS3 2:1 per week!

In what must be one of the biggest comebacks of all time - Microsoft's Xbox360 console, in the wake of worldwide price cuts and big software releases such as Fable II and Gears of War 2, is now selling around twice as fast as HD competitor PS3 (which was winning the battle earlier in the year). Seems PS3 is in need of a price cut to fight back.

NXE Screwed my Xbox360

Of all the wait and anticipation i had for NXE which i installed on 22nd Nov on my Xbox 360, yesterday 26 Nov my console started flashing RRoD, creating troubled lines on my forehead, luckily it's just 3 rings of death which have occured to my console yet, so i carried out a hard disk maintainance activity on my Xbox 360, in the meantime i logged a complaint on the Xbox website as well, the problem is quite strange, where my console freezed up like a PC freezes during boot time, else it does not boot at all and flashes 3 red lights, other wise it does load the dashboard and then goes kaput during gameplay.

I feel Microsoft could land up in another round of controvery here like Vista, which looked good before launch, but faced heavy criticism post launch, because all's not with just the looks, performance cannot be compromised, the only thing i can hope is my console should not go for replacement at least during the new year around, with so many new game titles arriving on the block.
