Even though there is no officially announced Bungie title in the works at the moment, it's a safe assumption that there will one day be a Bungie title for the Xbox360, or at the very least Bungie titles that run on it. That's the line of logic we've been running with in covering so much about the Xbox 360, and in the absence of more specific information about any Bungie title, info about Microsoft's second gaming console keeps pouring in. Here's some more:

Newsweek seems to think that Sony's strong-but-silent approach won over E3 attendees, opposed to Microsoft's MTV extravaganza. Thanks Major Nelson.

Worth pointing out is one major gaffe in the article, in the following quote:

The second in Ars Technica's series of pieces on the Xbox 360's hardware specs focuses on the "Xenon" CPU.

• The Xbox 360 is currently beating the PlayStation 3 in Voodoo Extreme's poll.
• Joe "Dyslexia" Renaud wrote a review of the Xbox 360's MTV unveiling two weeks ago, but we missed it.

• Frankie's What's What Update for May 27 still doesn't answer the questions on everyone's minds, namely if and when Bungie is making Halo 3. It does say that Marathon for the Xbox is "next door to impossible" and that Bungie is busy on its next project.

A few Xbox 360-related notes for today:

Ryan "Mhaddy" Matthews of The Junkyard writes that Dan Chosich of 2070Films (who is clearly trying to make this Dan Choisch Day) inquired with the makers of Monster Cables about whether they'd be making DVI or HDMI cables for the hi-def, next-gen consoles. So far the answer seems to be that there are no such plans. Thanks vector40 for the link.

GameDaily interviewed Peter Moore of Microsoft about the Xbox 360; Halo and Halo 2 get mentioned in the usual backwards-compatibility context. Thanks HBO.

Microsoft programmer and Mac user Michael Brundage is working on making the Xbox 360 backwards compatible. He's opened something he says is not a blog, but does contain some information about Xbox 360 backwards compatibility. Thanks Kiziko.

RTX Telecom has announced that Microsoft has chosen them to help develop the wireless interface for the Xbox 360's controllers. Thanks BDGamer.

Short of time today, so just a few quick Halo news notes:

Major Nelson has linked to A Gamers' Manifesto at Pointlesswasteoftime.com; it's a nicely-done but adult-language rant asking for game companies to make better AI, stop exaggerating graphics and ruining immersion, among other things.

According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Microsoft senior vice president and chief Xbox officer Robbie Bach all but says that Bill Gates misspoke himself at E3 when he referred to Halo 3 being used to blunt Sony's launch of the PlayStation 3.

Wired has a piece up on the "patch" that Bungie provided for Halo 2, known to most of us as the 1.1 AutoUpdate. Not much new here for anyone who has followed the cheat fixes so far, but it's worth pointing out that they've covered it.
