Xbox Portable - just a dream...or is it?

I saw this on a users profile over at Roosterteeth.com and thought i'd post it seeing as it just seemed like such an awesome concept.

Why settle for a PSP when you could have a screen mounted in an xbox controller. Of course this is never goin to be possible, and this is just a visualisation.

Then over at Hackaday i came across an actual portable Xbox360.

Created by Ben Heck, he stripped down an Xbox360 and built it inside a laptop style casing. So wherever you are, you can lift the lid and play. The version pictured was built using water cooling, but hackaday have a three post tutorial on how to build your own portable xbox360 with a fan based cooling system.

Whilst i have no doubt this is real, and it looks like it works a treat, I still wont be giving this a try though. Too much cost and hard work for something which it really just a fold up screen (which is already on sale)

Its my Birthday!

Today is my birthday,

Just felt like i should post something to mark the event.

I got an ipod nano. I'm so happy with it, i've wanted an ipod for years and have never been able to justify buying myself one, but now finally i have one!

My girlfriend Han and my parents went in on it for me, and an 8gb model too, best of all it does video.

Maybe i'll have to do a post dedicated to talking just bout the ipod.

I got another cool present too, my friends Ben and Leigh watch Heroes with me whenever we can get together and they bought me the eclipse poster printed on canvas.

Cant wait to move into my new flat and get this up on the wall, will look awesome!

We're goin out for a few drinks tonight, then 2moro we've organised a bit of a poker night which has been titled 'the burger party' as Hans making homemade burgers for everyone, gona be fun fun fun

Xbox Surround sound

I had my xbox360 hooked up to my surround system using the red and white phonos and relied on Dolby ProLogic II to provide me with surround sound in my games.

Games i want...

Im just building a list (mainly so i dont forget) of games i really wana get, on the xbox 360 of course.

But if you have any comments please feel free to share your opinions

My First Ebay Listing!

I've been using ebay for years, but strangely only for buying.

I've got plenty of junk lying around so thought it was bout time i learnt how to list my stuff online.

Thankfully it's easy.

Online DVD rental

The weathers changing, the Winters drawing in.

Suddenly the beach doesn't seem so appealing, i'd rather chill out with some movies.

Facebook shaken to its core.

There's something terribly addictive about what is essentially quite a basic website. I guess that's the beauty of it, being able spend hours browsing through random peoples lives.

The County Council! Grrrr

Im getting really frustrated with these people!

Hans Birthday

Last Thursday (the 11th) was Hans birthday

Cross Country

I went to a friends wedding this weekend.

At first i was a little daunted by the long drive, from Cornwall to Bury St Edmonds.

It turned out to be a beautiful weekend, and friends of the bride put us up for a couple of nights, they were so kind, i woke up to breakfast layed out both days!

Such a special time though seeing to of my good friends get married and they couldnt be better suited.

The driving has now taken its toll though and after covering 850miles im pretty tired.

Starting Business

On April 1st 07 i officially started my website design business Pure Blue Media.

Starting a business is tough. Mainly as there's no-one to tell you how to do it. Sure big companies/banks say they'll send you 'all you need' to start a business, but those huge packs of info dont help at all.

Sssh, its a secret

i have a big secret tucked away, can't write bout it yet, but when i can, i will.

Gears of War

one of the best co-op rpg's in a long time, this will definatley push them to make Halo3 awesome.

limitations

Ah ok so im quickly realising all the limitations of having a free blog with wordpress, such as not being able to edit the Css myself, or load plug-ins. Ah well it'll do for now n i'll set myself up some proper space and load it there soon!

Rainbow Six - Vegas (xbox360)

as a keen supporter of the Tom Clancy range, i can highly recommend this as his best game yet!

Dual Monitor

Ever fancied that sweet dual-monitor setup? Its not half as hard as you'd thought.
