With news being quite scarce this morning I have nothing interesting to blog about. But I remembered that last night Joystiq started their 48 hour, non-stop, Xbox 360 marathon. They have a retail version of the 360 to try out and play with. They will, step by step, build up their entertainment centre where the 360 will ‘live’ for this 48 hours. I have made a list of the posts they have so far. seen below.

This is all they have so far, but it has been interesting to read all the posts and see the good’s and bad’s of the 360 that they have found so far. I, for one, didn’t know that the special media remote in the 360 is only limited. I thought that came as a part of the premium pack. That was quite interesting to find out.
