Cringely asks, is the X-box a Trojan Horse?
Kudos to Aaron Sommer, who pointed out a Robert Cringely article on our forum. It's 5 months old... but still quite relevant, especially if he's right. The theory's not new, but Cringely presents it convincingly. If he's right, will Bungie end up as a casualty of war? (Louis Wu 20:45:34 UTC) (permalink)
bungie.net server relocation at the weekend
bungie.net server relocation at the weekend says Yeroen, Here's the details:
We're tentatively planning on moving the web and gaming servers to Redmond this weekend. This means that if all goes well we'll shut them down Friday morning, ship 'em in cold storage, thaw them out and set them up again early next week. However, there are a lot of technical and ISP issues with this move, and I can't promise specific dates or times.
Sometime before we're back up we'll release a preferences patch via this web site that will allow the game clients to communicate with the relocated servers.
Finally, although we're relocating the Myth and Myth II gaming servers, we will no longer be maintaining the Myth II demo server. Sorry.
Hey no Myth II demo server. :( (Ding 18:06:55 UTC) (permalink)

GameStar asks "How bad d'you want it?"
Massa writes to let us know that GameStar has a poll asking "Would you buy an Xbox just to play Halo?" While a resounding 74% (at this point) say "NO!", a surprising 367 (5%) say "Clearly." The poll's in german, but Babelfish can translate well enough for you to understand what you're voting... (Louis Wu 00:34:39 UTC) (permalink)
