Biohazard 5 Demo hit's XBOX live (Japan)


The highly anticipated Biohazard 5 demo has recently been released on the XBOX live network in Japan. In the past, it was once possible to create a Japanese hotmail account and connect to the XBOX live network in Japan to download the game demos. Unfortunately, this is not so for the Biohazard demo as Capcom are well aware of the facade Japanese account technique and placed a region-lock down on the demo. This has been confirmed, so do not waste your precious bandwidth on a demo that will not work on any other region specific system other than NTSC-J.


However, for those of you interested: NeoGaf has promised to deliver here:

Console + Web Browser

Well it's a new year and hopefully some of you guys are still enjoying the long awaited Christmas/New Years Break of 2008. I know I certainly have, and soon it will be back to 9-6 working days :(

I was just using my PS3's web browser capability and my, do I think it's impressive. Saved my bacon from having to power-up my Pc just to check something as simple as today's forecast. This leads to my next question, as to why the xbox 360 oversaw the capability of an inbuilt web browser?

I know all the fanboys will say that it is not a necessity and that browsing should be left to the PC, but hey..sorry, the added convenience and the sheer fact of a present browser in your next-gen console is at the very least a nice feature. Especially if your PC inadvertently hangs on you and you don't have the dime to replace it just yet. I could give a rat's a$$ if MS had previously mentioned that they would also like to keep the xbox as far apart from the PC as possible, that is not a legitimate excuse to leave such a feature out, where it is existent on other next-gen consoles.

After a dead powerbrick, and a slew of crappy features on the new dashboard. I'm doubting the integrity of this product and can't help but feel short-changed side by side with my PS3.
