360GameSaves Announces GameSave Resigner – Bypass Revocation List
Xbox-Scene :: Friday, June 15, 2007
We received this news from Team 360GS (http://www.360gamesaves.com/ ): [QUOTE] The GameSave Resigner is currently a webscript that will allow our users to insert their own unique ID’s into the save file so that save isn’t reported as corrupted to the console. The resigner is based off of one console’s own unique keys used in the resigning process. Each console has it’s own keypair that it uses. Microsoft implemented in the Spring Dashboard Update a Console Revocation List that it updates regularly. The contents of the list were that of every user who uploaded a gamesave to 360GameSaves.com in the past. Such update renders gamesaves to report as corrupted which were signed by those particular consoles. Therefore, if you are on the list, your saves will continue to work only on your console. You cannot move them to another or even move your own profile file to another console if you wish to do so. With this Revocation List implemented, Microsoft can and will most likely blacklist the console/keypair used for the Resigner. Therefore, it will be only available for a small window of time to users wishing to stay connected to XBOX Live. However, it does allow for one to take a console offline and use the resigner as much as they desire. The script will hopefully get updated with every Dashboard Update with a new keypair so that a user may upgrade their system software and still retain resigning ability. [/QUOTE] Note that the GameSave Resigner is NOT online atm as 360GameSaves is being moved to a new server to handle the processing power needed to handle the online resigner. The current ETA is ‘within 1 week’, but we’ll let you know here once it’s online of course! Official Site: www.360gamesaves.com (http://www.360gamesaves.com )

Xbox 360 vs PlayStation 3 GFX comparison Round2
Xbox-Scene :: Thursday, June 14, 2007
From gamespot.com (http://www.gamespot.com/features/6171831/p-1.html ): [QUOTE] It’s been more than six months since we published our first Xbox 360 versus PlayStation 3 graphics comparison feature. Games on both systems looked great, but the Xbox 360 games had more polish. We found that the Xbox 360 edged out the PlayStation 3 with higher-resolution textures and better lighting. The result of the first comparison wasn’t surprising–the Xbox 360 had been available for a year and developers were already cranking out second-generation games, while the PlayStation 3 had just arrived in retail with its first-generation games. We decided to check on a few games released in recent months to see if the PlayStation 3 has caught up to or overtaken the Xbox 360. Our quick seven-game tour has shown that the PlayStation 3’s game graphics are getting closer to the Xbox 360’s. The Xbox 360 had an edge in texture quality and antialiasing in many of the games, but we didn’t see any nasty lighting deficiencies like the ones we found in Fight Night Round 3 in the original comparison feature. Additionally, in what may be a hint of things to come, Bethesda’s Oblivion proved that there can be a PS3 game port with better textures than the Xbox 360 version. The PS3’s graphics win in Oblivion gives us hope that game developers will be able to produce competitive graphics if given enough time to work with the hardware. We can’t wait to see how the games compare this holiday season! [/QUOTE] Full Story: gamespot.com (http://www.gamespot.com/features/6171831/p-1.html ) (with comparion images for 7games)
