World of Warcraft

Are you fed up with your faction on World of Warcraft? Do you have friends that play the opposite faction and you want to play with them but don’t want to lose your level 80 that you’ve worked so hard on? If you’ve ever wanted to change sides just to see how they operate, then you won’t have to wait much longer. Blizzard has just announced that players that want to change factions will be able to do so sometime in the future with an upcoming patch.

While they’re not giving many details on exactly how they’re going to implement the change we can only speculate that it will be much like their other change systems. Right now World of Warcraft players have the chance to change their name, their realm and even completely re-customize their appearance. All of these changes can be made from your account settings and cost just a little bit of money.

At the E3 Video game convention, Microsoft unveiled its Xbox 360 Games on Demand service. This service will provide people a way to download games without being forced to camp out at stores for midnight launches late at night. Each Xbox 360 system will log your credit card information to make it easy for every gamer to purchase new game downloads by only pressing a few buttons. One of the best parts of this service is that you can play one game that you have already downloaded while another one downloads at the same time.

In the past, gamers were only allowed to download small mini games via the Xbox Live Marketplace. With Xbox 360 Games on Demand gamers will now be able to download full length games instead of just mini games. This is truly a revolutionary innovation from Xbox because it has provided gamers with a way to make large purchases without being forced to go to a store and purchase a CD. It’s also a big marketing move by Xbox because they realize people will be more inclined to make purchases if they can do it from the comfort of their own home.

If you’ve purchased an Xbox game before then you’ve probably had to deal with scratched disks from time to time. As a result, you might have even had to purchase a brand new disk in order to play your favorite game. With the Xbox 360 Games on Demand service gamers won’t have to worry about scratched disks any longer. Instead of the files for their disk being located on the disk, they will be located on the hard drive of the Xbox. At this point, some gamers may be thinking that they will lose all of the money they invested in those games if their Xbox breaks.

When you download a game via the Xbox 360 Games on Demand service you will be linking the purchase to your Xbox Live account. If your Xbox breaks, you will still be able to download your games onto another Xbox. Microsoft keeps a record of which games you have paid for associated with each account and they realize that Xbox consoles can break from time to time. Either way, the Xbox 360 Games on Demand service will provide gamers with a way to play their favorite Xbox games without being forced to worry about a scratched disk.
