The Cheap Televisions blogging team are big fans of console gaming especially in full HD. So as you can imagine we are extremely excited about Assassin’s Creed: Revelations which is due to be released later this year on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Just look at the amazing high definition visuals from the game on the Assassin’s Creed: Revelations screenshots below! We can’t wait until this is released and see it in it’s full glory on out HD TVs.

The new cheap televisions design has also been implemented which makes it much better for images of computer games and other media like videos as we can now use a much bigger size. More, much more, coming soon.

Assassin’s Creed II Video Review.

November isn’t just about Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the high definition games consoles. Although most titles have distanced themselves from the biggest release of 2009 there is another potentially triple A title coming to the Sony PS3 and Xbox 360 in the shape of Assassin’s Creed II. I was going to do a pictures post with screen shots for Assassin’s Creed II but have found something much better below. A video review. So is this a computer game we should all be rushing out to buy this Christmas and play on our large HD televisions?

Well just from the gameplay images and video I think Assassin’s Creed II looks like a visual feast. Gamespot gave it an editors choice review score of 9 out of ten and described Assassin’s Creed II as: “Assassin’s Creed II is what you’d want an action sequel to be: bigger, better, and more beautiful.”

The IGN Assassin’s Creed II video review above also gives it a glowing review with a score of 9.2. Their actual site review finished with “This is one case where the sequel has triumphed over the original by catching the gameplay up to the already excellent visuals. No matter what your preconceptions are about Assassin’s Creed II, the game is well worth your time and money.”

After watching Assassins Creed 2 video review it looks like another title that should be on everyones wish list this Christmas.

Television X For The Xbox 360?

Television X For The Xbox 360? As cheap televisions previously reported the Xbox 360 now has the Sky Player service but it is missing some boob flashing and nakedness of the adult themed channels (ok yes the sex channels). But this doesn’t mean the likes of Television X, Playboy and the Adult channel wont be making an appearance on the Xbox eventually.

Griff Parry from Sky On Demand apparently said “The general idea is we’re reassembling the set-top box proposition. Those channels are part of that. But I think they would be among the last things we would look to add. The focus is a mainstream proposition.”. If there’s a market and demand for those television channels like Television X and Sky to make some money I’m pretty sure they will roll it out. I think the main thing holding them back would be Microsoft which is still trying to portray it’s Xbox 360 as a family entertainment console to compete with the Nintendo Wii.

Xbox 360 X Factor television advert

Well here goes me trying to write a cheap television post about the Xbox 360 taking out and entire TV advertising break during the X Factor on my iPhone wordpress app whilst sitting in the back of an Audi A6. Microsoft are splashing the cash this Christmas and doing something American on UK television by taking up a whole TV advert slot to promote their Xbox 360.

Xbox 360 X Factor TV Advert

They will apparently do this on the X Factor show due to be shown on television on the 14th of November and will promote gaming titles similar to the tv singing show. It’s also a good way of trying to make the Xbox 360 popular this Christmas as it’s a family TV show so children can pester their parents about wanting one straight away.

Some dud from Microsoft apparently said “We believe that the X Factor provides us with the perfect opportunity to communicate directly with our target audience and is the ideal time to educate them about the new games and services on the Xbox console. By taking up the entire ad break, we can really help to capture the imagination of both potential and existing Xbox users.”

Not a bad for a first cheap television post being in a car and on the iPhone on my way home from work but the Audi A6 is bloody bumpy.

Sky TV Player on The Xbox 360 This Month.

Good news for all UK Xbox 360 owners (including cheap televisions) the deal to bring the Sky Player to the Microsoft Xbox 360 games console on the 27h of October! Apparently it will only be in standard definition (why all these HD Ready and Full HD televisions when there’s no free HD content, not the best marketing!) to start off with, and may include Premier League Football and boring boring Cricket.

Sky Player Xbox 360

I’m going to try and find out more information about the Sky Player on the Xbox 360 tomorrow. But for any cheap television readers in the USA I also read this on one of the Xbox 360 forums “For any US users that are annoyed, this is pretty much exactly like Netflix, apart from we need an additional monthly subscription and a whole load less content. But yes, we do get live streaming TV too, apparently. I wouldn’t be surprised if thats a ‘Coming soon’ feature”.

To be fair if you already have a TV and Sky and an Xbox I don;t really see the point.

Xbox 360 Price Cut

admin — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 20:38:47 +0000

Finally it looks like the UK is about to get a price cut on Microsoft’s Xbox 360 games console (yay lol). In a trade report it claims that the price of an Xbox 360 should be around £30 cheaper than the current price which is the kind of thing we here at cheap TVs like to hear. Part of Microsoft’s move is in no doubt aggressive move towards the Nintendo Wii which currently has the more family computer games market sewn up! Not sure if the price cut will affect the Premium and Elite Xbox 360 consoles yet, but now all we want from Microsoft is more cheap Xbox 360 games (decent games anyway).

The trade report says “MCV has it on very good authority that Microsoft is planning an Xbox 360 price cut later this month. That would mean a dip from Arcade’s current price of £199.99 to something closer to £170. A few publishers have confirmed the news to us, and we’re aware that some price movement is coming. The major chain retailers have all been told”.
