Xbox 360 Weekend Warrior: We’ve got plans, we’ve got price cuts, we’ve got PayPal and we’ve got movies
There’s a lot that went on for Microsoft this week. Not only did they game assets/ data revealed, they also have movie adaptations of their games to look forward to, as well as new online features for the XBL. And what’s this?

But in the meantime, catch all of that and more in this issue of the Xbox 360 Weekend Warrior.
