When we bought the kids an X-box this Christmas, we were frustrated with the games on offer and the rather macho image of the X-box. We managed to get a bundle which we could adapt to include something for the seventeen year old daughter and the 11 year old son and even the son in between - but it wasn't easy. And we thought long and hard about whether the shoot-em-up domination of X-box games was really suitable.
So now I was intrigued that X-box Live - the internet based add on if you pay for it for Xbox (with the rather expensive network adapter unless you can bridge connect from a laptop which I learnt to do over New Year) - is going to have its own digital Bible. Ruth Gledhill gave a heads up on this and there is more at the Times Technology Blog.
I wonder whether Ian Metcalfe can persuade the good people at Hodder to get GLO into the same game console market - GLO for XBox, GLO for WII? I went on Hodder's site and noted that there are intending to bring out 'device and web-based' versions of GLO in the second half of next year as well as a Mac version. More on this here - and some tips for Mac-based theologs to get GLO going now...although looks like stocks are low because of its popularity.'
BTW, more on view from the pew later...
