Probably most players have security worry about their consolers, and developers do all they could to help players with this. Recently, something new has shown on the net, that’s the Security Lock and Cable Kit for the 360.

The kit is basically a bike lock, but with a special piece that you place on the back of your 360 so you can attach the wire. But thieves can still take your hard drive off pretty easy, and this isn’t going to protect any of your games. Then they may fall on the floor and laugh so hard about the lock’s no use and the owner’s daftness. And then, when he gets up from the floor, the cops will have come. That’s the essence!

Of course, above is just a joke. Personally, I think there’s no need to buy those relatively useless locks. Lock your door will be enough. If they choose your house and break in, well, it’s a bad day for you. But you can do some basic protection by replacing with some extra console cases.

Halo

The Halo series has been highly successful both commercially and critically ever since the first Halo: Combat Evolved on July 1, 1999. Recently Microsoft has announced that a new Xbox Live feature coming this fall called Halo: Waypoint. It will be a hub for all things about Halo by informing fans of the latest Halo news and activities, and granting access to content ranging from podcasts, trailers and screenshots, to exclusive video footage you won’t find anywhere else. It will also provide a new challenge for Halo gamers with a career system and player rankings tied to both in-game and out-of-game accomplishments related to Halo.

This exciting news must inspire Halo fans’ interest to play some warm-up rounds in advance. But pay attention to your beloved Xbox 360, too much warm-up exercises might get it overheating problems, especially for some Xbox launched before 2007.8. Because they don’t have the 2ND heatsink Microsoft has added to the new ones, which can provide additional cooling for the Xenos GPU. So always lead to system halted, because the temperature can’t down by Cooling FAN and intrinsic heat sink. However, this heat sink can down the temperature around 10 degree.
