I randomly browse blogs on the web, and I find your article to be very informational. I’ve already bookmark it on my browser, so that I can view your weblog submit again later. Additionally, I’m questioning whether your weblog is open for link change, as I really wish to alternate hyperlinks with you. I do not usually do this, but I hope that we are able to have a mutual hyperlink exchange. Let me know and have an excellent day!

[...] before I begin, let me just say that MyBand is not a game. It’s more of a music application (Xbox Live Apps, anyone?) that has the graphics of the game. But other than that there’s nothing here for anybody [...]

Huh, really interesting. When I look at it that way, the games itself are real simplistic as well similar to the iPhone store. Wow, the whole XBLIG channel ended up a lot like it as a whole, interesting, considering I hate Apple. n_n And love MS. Though it’s true some of the “apps” are ridiculous (i.e. Yule log [hello, free on TV folks], flashlight). I guess it gives people interested in ‘breaking in’ and learning new skills a chance to showcase that, doesn’t mean it needs to be bought, but hell just saying your “learning process” or app is on the XBLIG chan, that’s impressive so by all means let ‘em!

Do we actually need Apps on the Xbox though?

Most people have an Xbox in a lit room. With a bulb. And even if the bulb is off, the TV will be giving off light. Why then would anyone use a flashlight app? I can really see people picking the TV up and pointing it under the couch searching for loose change?

A Massage App? With a 360 pad? Cant see it being comfortable or relaxing somehow.

I don’t mean to judge, everyone is free to do what they want after all.. but lets leave the silly iPhone apps to the iPhone crowd. People who value a fake coin to flip on their phone screen so they don’t have to dirty up a coin in their pocket.
