On another topic - do Japanese 360s play North American games? I seem to remember reading that they did.

From what I've read, it depends on the game.

Find someone else's mom and say the same thing.

Hmm...
I once went to Harrisburg, PA with a friend's mom, maybe I should look into that.

I want an Xbox 360 too but yeah $499 Canadian is steep. Especially since I'm only really interested in Fight Night 3 for it right now.

I was able to download the Lost Planet demo but I can't download the Uno trial. WTF.

I played Uno at Chux place today. It's the new XBLA killer app.




And where is my Geometry Wars 2 announcement?

They have a mini article on joystiq about the new camera:

After the Microsoft keynote we managed to spend some time with one of the games supporting the 360's camera peripheral, World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions. In this game, the camera is used to take a frontal and sideways shot of the player's head, which is then turned into a 3D representation of the player.

The process takes about three minutes, and is a little rough around the edges, but the immersiveness from seeing your opponents' faces both in 3D and in a superimposed webcam display is undeniable. The PMS Clan ladies demonstrating the game were impressed, describing it as a way to increase the addictiveness and realism of online poker, and wondering when they'd see their own faces in their favourite FPS. However, we find the concept of seeing our own dead bodies disturbing enough without adding our faces to it.

There was an eyetoy tool that let you do this on PS2, but it never really worked too well, do to the difficulty of getting good lighting in a living room environment, and the low-res nature of the camera. Hopefully, this turns out better.

Uno supports the camera, it's under options.
