A lot of games sell themselves by promising to deliver the technology of tomorrow - today! SingStar, on the other hand, has just earned a big round of applause from party-game addicts by delivering the technology of, um, today - after a significant delay. Perhaps in response to criticism, perhaps because the release of Microsoft's challenger, Lips, has broken the complacent mood over at Sony, the PS3 edition of SingStar will see a much needed update this April with the release of wireless microphones.

Just in time for Christmas, Microsoft have today announced that they're slashing the price of the Xbox 360 in Australia - to a base price of AU$299 (RRP) - less than half the price of its hi-definition rival, the PlayStation 3. This is the second major price drop in less than six months - and comes just before the launch of "the new Xbox experience", the overhauled downloadable interface due next week.
To further sweeten the deal, for a limited time, every Xbox console sold will come with complimentary games, if you buy it from the right place. While the Pro and Elite both come bundled with LEGO Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda, the Arcade doesn't miss out, happily packaged up with SEGA Superstars Tennis and five Live Arcade titles.

Way back during E3 this year, Microsoft announced what appears to be their version of the Singstar franchise, Lips. Today, Microsoft have announced the entire set list for Lips which includes a total of forty tracks.
It is a bit of an odd selection of tracks, but there seems to be something for most music lovers - though I don't think metal heads (such as myself) will be overly impressed. All up, it is a pretty "safe" track listing, and includes the likes of Queen, Depeche Mode, Beyoncé, The Cure, Dido and many more.

Okay guys - I hate to be the one to remind you, but - speaking of Xbox 360, Xbox LIVE is now offline for the next 24 hours. It'll be back at 4:29pm (Adelaide time) tomorrow, September 30th - and, I must remind you, there won't be any obvious changes for you to play with, after the time away. It's all just a preparation for the New Xbox Experience, which is due to arrive later this Spring (Fall in the northern hemisphere!).
To keep yourselves occupied for the next 24 hours, the guys at Xbox have taken the time to prepare a list of 10 Things to Do While Xbox LIVE is Offline for Maintenance - and we've got all ten, right here.
UPDATED TO ADD: Maintenance is taking longer than expected, we'll keep you posted when we know an expected time for services to resume.

The Holiday flood begins this Thursday with the release of an ungodly amount of games, including Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway, Crysis Warhead and Wipeout HD, and doesn’t stop until the week before Christmas. To save you all a bit of time, I like to run through the release list at the start of a given quarter, and make sweeping generalisations as to the quality of upcoming games.
Last week’s Warp Pipe covered the games of October, so this week we’re looking at November’s big hitters, including Gears of War 2, Left 4 Dead and Mirror’s Edge.

So the 2008 E3 Media and Business Summit has wrapped up. Bitter fanboys are sure to have run out of tears, at least temporarily, while tired journalists are no doubt catching up on some much needed sleep. I have no doubt that many of you have long lists of games you're now salivating over even more than before – better start putting those pennies aside. On the other hand, those of us on the reviewing side of things are currently wondering how on Earth we're going to manage to cover all of the fourth quarter's games without going insane.
This week, we'll reflect on the events that transpired during the three manufacturer press conferences and discuss our thoughts and any potential ramifications, and we'll also look at a few of the best games that were on show.
