Nintendo DS Leads Video Game Industry Growth REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- As both an entertainment and a business, Nintendo DS(TM) today is the powerhouse of the U.S. video game industry, driving nearly all industry revenue growth so far this year. Without this portable system, the video game industry growth overall would be nearly flat when compared with 2005, according to independent sales figures from the NPD Group of Port Washington, N.Y. Xbox Live is Down Today for Maintenance Microsoft has scheduled another 1 day down time for Xbox Live to do some maintenance. Apparently it is not the Fall Update for the Xbox 360. Xbox 360 Will Support 1080p, Upscale Your DVDs and Games At the Tokyo Game Show, Microsoft revealed some upcoming additions to its Xbox 360 platform, coming by way of software update. The upcoming update will enable 1080p resolution on the 360, allowing your current 360 games to be upscaled to 1080p like the way the console upscales original Xbox games to 720p/1080i. Also, HD DVD will most likely be played back at 1080p when the HDMI cable is released - or just on their component cables now, we're not sure yet. The system should also be upscaling your current DVD movies to 1080p as well, which will be a welcome addition for most households with HDTVs but no upscaling DVD Player.

The freshman's job was complete. Or so it seemed. Turns out, Tim Tebow had something else in mind. Before the Florida Gators' backup quarterback stepped off the grass at Florida Field and on to the sideline, he made like a pogo stick, bouncing up and down, waving his arms, doing his best to whip the second-largest crowd ever to pack Ben Hill Griffin Stadium into a frenzy. Good effort, kid - it just wasn't necessary. Tebow and his mates gave the boisterous sea of orange and blue plenty of reasons to keep The Swamp swaying Saturday afternoon. In a span of less than four minutes, the fifth-ranked Gators stunned the nation's top defense and dropped the hammer on special teams, resulting in Florida's 23-10 win over No. 9 LSU. Florida (6-0, 4-0 SEC) has won 13 straight home games, the sixth-longest string in program history.
