For those of you who might not know, I am a super fan of racing games. More precisely good racing games. And more precisely still, online awesome racing games. The original Test Drive Unlimited was a dream for me. You started off with a sucky Ford Mustang or whatever you could buy with 5,000 dollars, then you had thousands of miles of Oahu, Hawaii to your pleasure. You could free roam, buy new houses at a real estate office, get chased by advanced cops, and play online and organize the coolest races ever. There was even one race that allowed you to grand tour the whole island for 2 hours. And that’s why Atari has its first customer.
Test Drive Unlimited 2 will also a seamless experience as Atari puts it and “is always live”, meaning that unlike the original which had offline and online modes, there’s a single narrative mode that can be progressed on online or offline, either on the Xbox 360, PS3, or PC this Fall. Good stuff. Press release after the break.

If you want to have a few more hours of Halo 2 on your Xbox then now is the time. All Live service for the original Xbox will disappear on April 15th and this also affects original Xbox games played on your newer Xbox 360. Same goes for an Xbox Original title that you downloaded through your 360; on the 15th of April there will be no LIVE service.
The advantage of cutting off these old games is allowing Xbox LIVE to expand, and as Microsoft put it “in the next few weeks” more functionality and flexibility will be available on LIVE. [Via Gamerscoreblog]

So here’s the Xbox 360 Wireless N Adapter. It lets you pick up Wireless N signals on your Xbox 360. The adapter is coming out November 3, for $100 according to Gamestop. Now just to make this very clear.
I have to pay $100 to get wireless on my Xbox?
Oh, and just for you to know, $80 is the new price of the previous wireless adapter.

A modder called Bandit5317 has created the best Xbox mod ever. Using the guts of an Xbox (the original Xbox), he squeezed a 320GB hard drive inside the 4 panels of black polycarbonate. According to the modder, it took six months to build.
The only drawback though is that this mod has DVD drive to play games, and it gets hot due to being in such a small case. But none of that matters with a cool looking Xbox like this! Right Microsoft?
The Xbox 360 is probably yelling for a slimmer version of itself, especially the PS3..
Comments anyone?

UPDATE: The listing seems to have been removed from Ebay. It makes the story even more interesting doesn’t it?
That’s right Republicans. Sarah Palin has her signature on an Xbox 360 that’s on Ebay. We don’t know if it’s an authentic signature, but it looks real enough. It is on Ebay for a whopping $1.1 million dollars. It’s a Pro model (normally it should cost $299.99). Shipping is another slap in the face: $75. The Ebay listing states that it was signed by Palin at the Wasilla Governor’s Picnic on July 24, 2009, which was 2 days before her resignation. Take a close look at the pictures. It looks real right? Right??
Here’s a line from the listing:
“You can own this 60GB, perfect-condition, one-of-a-kind item before her expected run for president of the United States of America in 2012.”
A very smart seller. We’ll see if it can be sold…
