The new UI is, as previously mentioned, extremely reminiscent of the now-famous Windows Media Center. And, if you’re like me, you can [...]

Remember when I mentioned the start of McDonald’s [MCD] Monopoly game?
Well, the time has come for the game to wrap up… if you haven’t punched in all of your codes online yet, you should probably get it done ASAP.

The Extended Play Download Days is expected to wrap up today. So, hopefully you’ve been able to snag all your DLC…
