    Black Six was the first to point out a new Xbox 360 Elite Laptop from Ben Heck – he found it at Engadget. It’s Halo-newsworthy because the case design was inspired by Halo 3, and the demo movie uses Halo 3 to show off the screen. Amazing stuff!(Louis Wu 16:42:16 UTC)

    I’m sending in my XBOX 360 Elite back to Microsoft for it to be repaired. My optical drive has gone out. My consoles acts as if it has no disc in the disc drive. How prominent is this problem? Microsoft has a knowledge base article that deals with the error — so I’m not the…
