Is the HD DVD remote going to be like the one that came with both my 360s? I don't need a third one.(or 4th one if I get two HD DVD drives)

[WormholeXtreme]

Will Halo 3 will be the first game to run natively on 1080p?

Keep your eyes on the RSS feed of Major Nelson's blog at the bottom of the forum. He should be blogging as announcements are made.

Excellent!

Somehow Microsoft, Activision and id Software managed to keep this bombshell under their hats: DOOM will arrive on Xbox Live Arcade today for 800 Microsoft points.

The XBLA version is the full four-episode horror shooter that ruined the social lives of so many, alongside some great multiplayer additions: four-player split screen co-op and deathmatch and online four-player co-op and deathmatch.
