The poor buggers behind Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning really can’t catch a break. After being rescued from redundancy by Epic Games, their new studio has just been closed down as well…

Not a Gold subscriber to Xbox Live? Then get your 360 online this weekend and make the most of the benefits – Microsoft is unlocking all Gold-based privileges for three days starting Friday (that's tomorrow!), meaning Silver members can bask in the multiplayer love that's usually locked off to them. And that's not all Microsoft has planned…

Seems like Microsoft's going all out to make sure that people know the Xbox 360 is now all about entertainment, rather than just gaming – this weekend sees a slew of video and music apps becoming available for all Xbox Live users, not just those who subscribe to Gold. That means free online multiplayer too, right? Er, no… actually, it doesn't. Sorry.

We all know how much you love your movies, but how about if we told you that you can now access a whole bunch of movies and television shows for free as long as you have a Gold subscription on Xbox Live? You’d say we’re crazy but we're not, thanks to the Crackle and CinemaNow video streaming apps now being available to download in the UK and US respectively. Of course, we never said they were any good or showing anything you've heard of...

If you've checked the 360 dashboard today, chances are you spotted the huge red square that awaited you on the very front - that's there to tell you that as of today, you can get Netflix on your Xbox 360. And not only that, but you can also get yourself a 30-day free trial just by signing up today. Should LOVEFiLM be quaking in its boots? We'll have to wait and see...

Got a subscription to LOVEFiLM that you use through your 360? Then you'll be pleased to hear about some additional content that you'll be getting in the very near future, thanks to a deal done between LOVEFiLM, ITV and the BBC for classic shows to be made available through the service.

Last week, the video page of your 360 dashboard was a little bare - today, it's got four more goodies to add to it in the form of YouTube, MSN, Blinkbox and MuZu.TV. And if you're keen to turn your Xbox into a full-on media hub, they're all actually worth getting…

Ever wanted to control your 360 with your phone? Nope, us neither. But if you’ve got a mobile with Windows Phone 7 on it, you’ll be able to soon.

Yes folks, we’ve officially hit treble figures – the 100th issue of 360 Gamer magazine is on sale now!
