Rockets On Prisoner Respawns Again
The official website for the Rockets On Prisoner 2005 video contest is up; awards for Halo and Halo 2 videos produced using the Xbox or PC versions of the game may now be nominated in one of nine categories.
Crawling Underneath The Xbox 360 Dashboard
Major Nelson has posted a link in his blog to an eight-page article at Design Interact about the process used to develop the Xbox 360's color-coded user interface.
Digital Thoughts On Xbox 360 Media Features
Jason Dunn at Digital Media Thoughts has put up a hands-on review of the Xbox 360, focused mainly on its features as an entertainment system.
The original Xbox required you to buy a separately packaged Xbox Media Extender in order to view audio and video from a Windows Media Center Edition PC. The Xbox 360 has this feature built-in, and also-- apparently-- there will be a version of the Media Connect software that can be installed on "any PC". Not sure if that means "any PC running Media Center Edition" as I've read elsewhere, or any PC running Windows.
(Personally, I hope it doesn't require MCE; being able to watch my collection of Halo movies on a big screen without having to install a new version of Windows would be nice--Ed.)
I Need A Crowbar
Ross Mills pointed out the Antlion Deuce single-player mod for Half-Life 2, which features music from the Halo 2 soundtrack. Ross pointed it out in the HBO forum.
Looking For Halo-Themed Aural Pleasure?
HBO has a couple of audio-related Halo updates today; Captain Spark has added to the Halo 2 Dialogue Databank. This newest collection is Sergeant Stacker comments collected while using the hard-to-get IWHBYD skull. They're available for download from Spark's newly redesigned website.
Another site, called WannyPartyUp.com, is making MP3 recordings of postgame lobby conversations on Xbox Live.
Thanks to Louis Wu for giving heads-up.

More Like Hot Cocoa
Cullen in the #hbo channel of irc.bungie.org pointed out the Halo 2 references in the latest VG Cats comic; the theme was hidden sexual content. (Before you ask, no, you cannot have hot coffee with Cortana--Ed.)
Microsoft Confirms 2005 Launch Window, 20Gb HD
Yahoo is reporting that Microsoft has stated at its Tokyo, Japan Xbox Summit today that the Xbox 360 will launch in the US, Europe and Japan in time for the 2005 holiday season. The Reuters report says that previously a six week delay was expected for those territories, and other news outlets, including SPOnG, are still saying this delay will occur.
Meanwhile, SPOnG also says that Microsoft has confirmed that every Xbox, in every territory, will come bundled with a 20Gb hard drive.
The Xbox Summit event has allowed Microsoft to show off the support they have from Japanese developers. In addition to getting a port of Square Enix's Final Fantasy for the new Xbox, games from Namco, Taito and Konami are being announced as well.
