Recording Capabilities Included In The Xbox 720?

06 Jan 2012 | GamerTech Newz

More Xbox 720 rumours have come to light with sources suggesting the next Xbox could feature some sort of DVR capabilities, allowing users to record the video on their console. 

This feature would be welcomed by those who record their gameplay, with users able to record while playing or when the Xbox console is turned off. 

Microsoft has listed Games, Music, DVD’s and even TV as some of the possibilities that the DVR could be used to record. It is also believed that users will be able to switch between the type of media they are viewing, whilst the console is recording. 

Although such rumours seem far-fetched, they could suggest that Microsoft is proposing to enter the TV on-demand market.

Microsoft Working To Fix Xbox Live Profile Error

22 Dec 2011 | GamerTech Newz

Since last week a lot of players on XBox Live have not been able to login because of a profile  error which has just been found by Microsoft. The error shows ‘Error 801540B7′ and stops players  from accessing their online profiles and purchased content.

It is believed that this error may be a result of the dashboard overhaul that was implemented  earlier this month but no-one is entirely sure. Microsoft have told Joystiq that they are aware  of the problem and are currently working to fix it. Microsoft’s statement to Joystiq read:

“We have recently identified an Xbox Live profile data error that results in Error Code ’801540B7′  for a small number of Xbox Live members. The error instructs users to attempt to re-download their  Xbox Live profile and directs them to customer service support for further assistance. We apologize  for the inconvenience this has caused to our loyal Xbox Live members and are working to resolve the  issue as soon as possible.
