More space! Xbox 360 to support 2TB external drives

My patience finally pays off I can barely recall a time when my Xbox 360 hard drive wasn’t full of games and DLC. It would’ve been beforeRock Band, certainly. And the situation has only gotten more chaotic since Microsoft starting pumping out regularGames with Goldreleases. That’s console life, I suppose.

Nintendo’s NX console could be a phone, a dud, or a return to form

What is Nintendo’s NX and do we already want it? Though it’s slowly opening up, the videogame industry is still pretty closed to anyone over a certain age. Most console games are firmly targeted people aged 10-to-30, and that’s the way its been for a long time.
