Joost 1.0 beta: new features, open for everyone
The video service Joost has finally reached 1.0 beta. As one of the people who were in on the Joost for Friends alpha testing, I decided to download the latest client to see what was new in the latest version. So far my experience has been that the new 1.0 beta isn’t as stable as the 0.19 alpha I used to have installed.
Halo 3 - The Website (AAA Game meets Social Network)
So I (and apparently a few million other people) picked up my copy of Halo 3 on Tuesday (about 11am if you must know). I beat the campaign last, and although it does start off a little slow I can say that it is by far the best Halo of the three.
Something has surprised me more than the twists and turns of the plot though, and that is Bungie’s Halo 3 website. It is a whole new level of game and interweb integration. Dare I say it, it is almost a social network.
Review: Using Vongo with the Xbox 360
This is the second installment for my series on video rental options that work with Xbox 360 (or set top boxes in general). Vongo recently announced support for the Xbox 360, and with a 14-day free trial I thought I ‘d try it out.
Vongo is a download video service owned by Starz Entertainment that can best be described as a video subscription service similar to Netflix meets CinemaNow. For $9.99/month you get all the movies you can download from their current selection of movies. While the selection of movies (2,500 titles) isn’t as large as Amazon’s Unbox, there are more current mainstream movies (The Queen, Stranger than Fiction, Bridge to Terabithia, etc) than can be found on Netflix’s “Watch Instantly” service.
