If you are a Xbox 360 owner then you already know what next-gen gaming is all about. If you are a member of Xbox Live, then you are really cooking with gas. But there is one service that, in my opinion, is an absolute MUST to get the most out of your 360. I urge you to head over to the good folks at 360voice.com and setup your own blog today. Best of all? It requires no work at all! You sign up, and 360voice takes care of the rest.
The clever folks at 360v have found a way to scrape the data that Microsoft collects on your gaming habits from Xbox Live. Everyday, this data is translated into humorous blog entries for the world to see. If you don't play for a day, your Xbox is sad. If you skip a week of gaming, you might have a very testy 360 blogging about your (lack of) gaming habits. Conversely if you spend everyday gaming your 360 will be very happy with you, and your blog will reflect this. In addition you can earn "badges" that reward you for certain milestones like completing a certain number of games or gaming for 30 days in a row. I even got my wife in on it. She loves checking her blog everyday. When she doesn't fire up the 360 for a day, she always tells me that her 360 "will not be happy with her".
On a personal note I want to say thank you to the excellent staff at 360 Voice. I recently switched my Gamertag on Xbox Live and I had a few questions to ask of them over email. They got back to me super quick, and were very patient as I asked a few more questions. The migration went smoothly and my blog is still perfectly in tact. Just last weekend these guys released four huge upgrades that make the site load lightning quick.
Overall, 360 Voice is a great service run by some truly nice people. If you have a 360 and a Xbox Live subscription, there is no excuse, go setup your 360 blog today!
