I’m back this week, after being told I’m going to be fired if I don’t do another bad news. I told him I don’t like bringing people down. But who am I kidding, I love it. Ha ha ha. So this week isn’t much, some X-Box news and Some bad business moves. So lets get started.
Here is a bit of info on THQ and the UFC that bothers me a little. There was a fighter that got dropped by the UFC’s Dana White for not signing an agreement to use his likeness and name forever for the upcoming UFC games. He just didn’t want to sign up for ever. The fighter, Jon Fitch, had this to say about it “I’m more than willing to work with them, but I don’t see why we have to give up our whole lives for this. Why not a time limit? If we did a 10-year deal with them, is that that unreasonable? I don’t understand how this happened, honestly. It’s tough”. Isn’t that just a little harsh. I can’t believe that because a guy does not want to be apart of a video game the rest of his life you kick him out of what he loves to do. It wasn’t even just him. Another fighter named Christian Wellisch also got the ax. On a brighter note, Jon Fitch did end up signing the deal, though I do not know about Christian Wellisch. I guess you will do what ever it takes to do what you really want to do. I boo Dana White for his bad reasoning skills. If you want to see the trailer to of game click here.

Moving along with the X-box, just few things with them. As you already know the NXE is doing great. I had a chance to play with it, but there are some problems. Installing the games to the hard drive is a good idea but here is just some games that won’t install. The list is small at the moment, as six games have been found so far. Big Bumpin’, College Hoops 2k7, Pocket Bike, RacersSneak King, Crackdown, and Dead or Alive Xtreme 2. The worst one in the list has to be DOAx2.

This NXE piece of news is also X-Box related, but it’s Sony’s doing. You all know that you can watch movies on x-box with Netflix, but there are a lot of movies that you can’t watch on the X-box that are still available in Netflix. Well over a hundred titles, all of which are Columbia Pictures, which is owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment, are unavailble in the 360’s Netflix area. This is the most retarded thing I have heard. You can still watch those moves on your PC or TV, but just can’t get them throught the X-Box? This little war between Sony and X-box is getting old. I think Sony is now just being selfish. This is one war that really should stop. There can be no gain from petty fighting. If they were kids, I would spank them both and make them apolgize to each other. However, it seems that this is not something that is specifically affecting 360 users. Sony’s official statement is as follows: “This issue is not specific to Xbox or any other individual platform, Sony Pictures is currently in discussions with the relevant parties to resolve certain licensing matters related to the distribution of its motion pictures. Given the ongoing nature of these discussions, we don’t think it is appropriate to comment further at this time.”
