In two years and nine months, XboxMB has grown from nothing to the most well-known Xbox 360 modding site on the Internet. Anybody who has modded games for their console in the past 3 years has, without a doubt, downloaded Horizon for themselves and shared its functionality with their friends and fellow online buddies who probably now hate them for having special weapons, unlimited ammo, and god mode in online games 
It has truly been one of the greatest learning experiences of our lives: to develop an application that's used by millions of people around the world and to manage a community that is now one million members strong. Horizon is downloaded by 100,000+ unique people each month, and that number is growing day-by-day!
Below you will find a list of people who have taken time out of their lives to help shape this community into what it is today. But they are not the only ones who have to be thanked! Everybody who has participated in discussions on XboxMB or has contributed to the 360 scene, on any site, in any way has, altogether, shaped the scene into the abysmal pool of technological knowledge that we all have a common desire for.

PS4 was the focus of the second night of 'Video Game Week' on Tuesday's episode of US chat show Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.Mark Cerny, lead system architect on the console, used the four-and-a-half-minute slot to show off the console and offer a hands-on demo of Knack, the PS4 launch game he's directing.Knack is a story-driven family game in which mankind turns to an unlikely hero to protect them from invading goblins. Knack is only three feet tall, bt he grows and transforms based on the items he picks up and smashes in levels.Cerny described it as "kind of a mash-up between a Pixar-style animated movie and a character action game".He also said of PS4: "It's the most powerful videogame console ever made. We were targeting about ten times the performance of any previous system."

Jun 19, 2013 - 6:30 PM - by XboxMB News |  Quote: |
GameStop has "applauded" Microsoft for ditching its Xbox One used game DRM policies and mandatory online checks.Microsoft today announced the complete withdrawal of the Xbox One's controversial restrictions on used games and the requirement of an internet connection for license checks once every 24 hours."GameStop welcomes today's announcement from Microsoft about changes in functionality for its next-generation console, the Xbox One," said a GameStop rep in an official statement to Polygon in response to the announcement."This is great news for gamers and we applaud Microsoft for understanding consumers and the importance of the pre-owned market," they added.The console's previously proposed DRM measures would have restricted the sale of used games between gamers, and would allegedly have saw Microsoft and publishers take a cut of profits made from used game sales at retail. This would have had huge implications for major organizations like GameStop, which rely heavily on profits from the used games market.But GameStop had said in May that it would commit to support of Xbox One despite used game policy concerns. "I think what is important to note is that all three of the console companies that have launched have now come back and they say, 'I realise the value of the buy-sell-trade model,' and they have built that into their new consoles moving forward," said GameStop president Tony Bartel at the time.

Microsoft's major Xbox One DRM policy revisions announced today come with one significant drawback - the loss of a previously-proposed 'family game sharing' feature.One of Microsoft's more popular announcements for Xbox One's digital policy was the ability for a player to designate 10 'family' members' accounts, all of whom would then have full access to that players' games library.This feature would have been governed by the console's tight control over game license ownership via strict DRM policies.But with the relaxing of the console's DRM control, the firm has also withdrawn plans for the game sharing feature, among other benefits.Microsoft's president of interactive entertainment business Don Mattrick explained in a statement, "The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold."Marc Whitten, VP of Xbox Live clarified to Kotaku, "There's a few things we won't be able to deliver as a result of [the DRM policy changes]."One of the things we were very excited about was 'wherever we go my games are always with me.' Now, of course your physical games won't show up that way. The games you bought digitally will. You'll have to bring your discs with you to have your games with you," he confirmed."Similarly, the sharing library [is something] we won't be able to deliver at launch," said Whitten.Microsoft today officially ditched Xbox One's previously proposed and hugely controversial used game DRM policies and the need for the console to log in | | |

Last week at E3, the excitement, creativity and future of our industry was on display for a global audience.
For us, the future comes in the form of Xbox One, a system designed to be the best place to play games this year and for many years to come. As is our heritage with Xbox, we designed a system that could take full advantage of advances in technology in order to deliver a breakthrough in game play and entertainment. We imagined a new set of benefits such as easier roaming, family sharing, and new ways to try and buy games. We believe in the benefits of a connected, digital future.
Since unveiling our plans for Xbox One, my team and I have heard directly from many of you, read your comments and listened to your feedback. I would like to take the opportunity today to thank you for your assistance in helping us to reshape the future of Xbox One.
You told us how much you loved the flexibility you have today with games delivered on disc. The ability to lend, share, and resell these games at your discretion is of incredible importance to you. Also important to you is the freedom to play offline, for any length of time, anywhere in the world.
So, today I am announcing the following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360. Here is what that means:
An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games - After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your | ... [Read More] | |
