However you may look at things, the fact is that 20GB of storage space for your average 360 gamer is just not enough. Talismoon have long kept their prying eyes on the situation at hand and have developed two innovative solutions to the problem described. Both the Minispy and its bigger brother, the Minispy USB, allow you to free up space on a 360 hard drive via acting as a bridge between the drive and a PC.

In conjunction with powerful free file management software currently available such as Xplorer 360, the Minispy will allow you to transfer game saves, mp3’s, demos and other media as required. The possibility of all your drive information being backed up safely on an everyday home PC is now a reality. This not only gives you extra security for your files, but also allows you to squeeze out every amount of 360 hard drive storage space available as and when you need it! The Minispy is so simple to use, just pop your hard drive off your 360 and plug it into the Minispy, you will now be ready to begin your journey on the quest for mass storage capacity.

Specifications & extra information

If you’re looking for an even more advanced version which will work with SATA or Parallel drives via USB connectivity, then the Minispy USB is for you! The USB can be used with either Xbox 1 or 360 drives, with the supplied software supporting both formats. The Minispy USB of course allows data transfer from your original Microsoft Xbox in addition to the newer Xbox 360. The beauty of the USB connection is that it will not be necessary to open your computer case at any moment in time. All necessary cabling and software is included. ...

Bungie continues to drip-feed Halo fans morsels on the progress of super-hotly anticipated Halo 3, and despite last week's July 4 celebrations in the US meaning "limited platytests" with the sequel, a brief bit of news still managed to make it into the dev's most recent weekly update.

What's new? Well, after quick mention of a brief but exciting encounter with the Halo 3 campaign that involved "lots of driving" in the update, the developer's gone on to focus on Halo 3's user interface, which has "come on in leaps and bounds". Formerly worked on independently of the actual game, the user interface has now been incorporated "so you can use it like a regular game interface for most things", Bungie's explained.

As it stands now, the interface is designed to make it very simple to get to a 'lobby' and make all necessary changes from there - so that you can customize your experience, appearance, and more importantly, really specific game types from anywhere," the developer's added. "Folks who've played a lot of custom games know that it is very frustrating when the 'Quick Options' selection just isn't enough to get all the options you want in a game type. You won't have to worry about that from now on. And you can also change your controller setting from anywhere, at any time. That one was a given, right?"

Apparently, this is all "the barest kernel of what to expect from the new UI", Bungie saying that lots of goodies will be added to it. It's a new user interface that won't be immediately familiar to fans of the Halo series, but the developer's ensuring that the UI's intuitive and as such its operation will quickly become second nature.

More titbits on Halo 3 in Bungie's next weekly update, no doubt. ...

While the whole 360 HD-DVD internal-external debate has been gathering pace in recent weeks, new pictures currently wending their way across the internet seem to show that Microsoft may be planning a HDMI connector built into the motherboard of future 360s, with this 'alleged' connector providing a serious challenge to one of the PS3's key differentiators.

The pics themselves are hardly conclusive, being of the blurry what-the-hell-is-that? variety, but further whispers have also circulated with some claimants saying they'd actually seen three versions of a 360 motherboard with the connector in place. Never has a piece of news been so deserving of the Microsoft standard response "we do not comment on rumour and speculation". So we didn't ask them.

HDMI actually stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface and, as you probably know, it's a key output for Sony's higher end PS3 giving you a hi-def uncompressed digital audio-video stream between your console and HDTVs.

However, our 360 experts are more than a little sceptical over the existence of this bit of kit for future 360 iterations. Fishier than a trawler captain's waders is probably a fair summary of their feelings.

Still, the rumour refuses to die, so what do you think? Would the 360 benefit from an in-built HDMI output, would a simple connecting lead suffice or are you really that bothered about HDMI at all? Tell us what you think in the comments field below. ...

Pandemic's hotly anticipated sequel Mercenaries 2: World In Flames may not remain a title exclusive to PS3 in the next-gen. Hell, hell no. It's emerged, you see, that the follow-up to the hit open-play-style shooter Mercenaries could well blast onto Microsoft's Xbox 360 too.

It's news that's come straight from the horse's mouth. During conversation with IGN on Mercs 2, a representative for Pandemic commented that the developer is "definitely considering Xbox 360" for the game, although stated that the PS3 version is the only outing that remains confirmed to date. However, they went on to say that "There is still a lot of time" and "we haven't ruled the Xbox 360 out", concluding: "We'll have some news to announce in the next couple of months."

Precisely what "some news" will turn out to be is open to speculation - it's suggested it could simply be an announcement on a publisher for Mercenaries 2 on PS3, as the game is currently, er, publisher-less.

But, an Xbox 360 version is looking likely, and in fact our colleagues on the official Xbox 360 magazine (UK) say they have it "on very good authority" that Mercenaries 2 is 360-bound, although the PS3 may witness a short exclusivity period with the sequel. They add that whoever the publisher turns out to be, it won't be LucasArts or Activision, who published Mercenaries.

Well, let's just wait and see what happens. And keep an eye out for a Mercs 2 360 preview gracing these pages soon.

Pandemic describes Mercenaries 2 as "an explosive open-world action game set in a massive, highly reactive, war-torn world". Events centre around a power-hungry tyrant who screws around with Venezuela's oil supply, which is the catalyst for an invasion that turns the country into a battle zone. Whoops. You play a merc for hire, doing dirty work for world powers coughing up cash and if it lives up to the original game, we should be in for a belting next-gen dog of war on all fronts. ...

Our eyeballs are firmly fixed on Microsoft's forthcoming X06 event for decent, chewable information on Fable 2, but in the meantime - and going a little way to satiate our 'Albion sequel' appetite - a minor titbit on the RPG follow-up has slipped out the corner of Lionhead's gob.

An update on Fable 2, appearing on Lionhead's website, that's announced a new milestone in the sequel's development has been reached -which involves showing the latest build to Microsoft and everyone being happy with the game's progress - reveals... that the Fable 2 story has been nailed down. Wahey.

Unfortunately, there're no stunning plot-related divulgements. However it is mentioned that the storyline in Fable 2, which is set around 500 years after the events in Fable, will be longer than Fable's plotline and "a little bit more mature". Apparently, some players may be shocked by what Lionhead has cooked up for the sequel's story, which the developer describes as "a slightly different approach... it has some rather cool twists to it".

Well, in that case here's hoping that Fable 2's storyline won't reek of fantasy cheese. And any fear of a stinker has already been partially assuaged with Lionhead assuring that one plot dynamic we certainly won't be seeing in Fable 2 is "someone who rescues you at first and then betrays you". Phewee. ...
