New movie-themed Elite bundles for the UK

October 29th, 2009 at 07:00am Under Xbox 360

VideoGamer.com is reporting that a supplement in this week’s issue of MCV is advertising two new Xbox 360 Elite bundles. Both bundles are themed around recent movie releases, specifically Star Trek and Transformers 2. The Star Trek bundle comes with an extra controller, a copy of J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek stored on a USB drive — shaped like the Star Fleet logo — as well as 800 with which to buy “Star Trek PDLC.” Let’s just hope you don’t have to waste those points on Star Trek D-A-C. A Transformers 2 bundle is in the works as well, featuring an extra controller, a copy of the movie on a Bumblebee-shaped USB drive and the Transformers 2 game.

Release date, pricing, and the size of the included hard drive (120GB or “Super Elite” 250GB) are not specified in the ad. However, as MCV is a UK magazine, it’s possible these are only destined for that region. We’d be hard-pressed to tell potential buyers which one bundle is the better but, but we will say that only one of them goes where no one has gone before. And the other one is Transformers.

Transform and roll out against Luxoflux this Friday

September 2nd, 2009 at 06:00pm Under Xbox 360

Following an apparently successful Game with Fame session with actress Megan Fox, Activision has announced that the developers behind Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will take on the community themselves this Friday. Excited? Well, there’s a catch: The devs at Luxoflux will only be online playing the recently released Character & Map Pack Plus DLC, meaning interested gamers will have to throw down 800 ($10) to square off against the team.

Of course, if you already own the DLC you’re welcome to jump in this Friday, September 4, from 5PM to 9PM (Eastern) and participate in punching giant robots in the face. You know, kind of the same way Michael Bay punched our soul by making those two terrible movies. Check out the official Xbox.com page for a listing of Gamertags to friend request for the event.

Megan Fox appearing on Xbox Live’s Game With Fame (GOLD MEMBERS ONLY)

August 26th, 2009 at 08:00pm Under Xbox 360

Only those who rose (sigh) up to Microsoft’s annual $50 multiplayer fee will find themselves in the online company of Megan Fox next week, when she plays Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen exclusively against Xbox Live Gold subscribers. The actress, self-outed Wii fan and professional runner-from-explosions will expect you to promptly log in by 5:30PM ET on Saturday, August 29 — the session kicks off at 6PM sharp!

In the meantime, you’ll want to send a friend request to the following very real Gamertag: Megan Fox 2009. Please, don’t be upset if you don’t hear back right away. She probably needs to trim her friends list a bit to make room for you.

Oh no! Megan Fox is totally into the Wii

June 24th, 2009 at 05:30pm Under Wii / Nintendo

It seems as though there are dissenting voices coming from the cast of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen regarding Nintendo’s Wii console. Why, just the other day, Shia LaBeouf expressed to the world his discontent with the system and those employing it for gaming — that group of people apparently including his cast mate, Megan Fox.

In an interview with WhatTheyPlay.com, Fox said, “I’m totally a fan of the Wii, I’m just not good at it.” As LaBeouf (S. Beef to us) noted in his interview with Joystiq sister site Big Download, the two were playing LEGO Star Wars most recently, though Fox has some rather specific complaints about the game, telling the interviewer, “One thing I don’t like about that game is that if one person is lagging behind and wants to check something out, and you’re running ahead, you drag the screen with you — you can’t stay separate when you’re playing on a team together … that becomes annoying.” Point taken! Apparently the lady knows her games, eh? Care for a guest column, Ms. Fox?
