New Xbox? "Durango" rumors about price and features.
Some rumors seem to crop up repeatedly, leading to speculation of an inside source or leak: Multiple sources are talking about the possibility that the new Xbox may require an "always on" internet connection, which is problematic for some users. Stack.com says the latest reports suggest that fans may not have anything to worry about. A source recently told Ubergizmo, "You are not required to be connected to the Internet in order to play Durango games." Take this and all unverified reports with a grain of salt, but what a gamer will be able to do offline is still a question.
According to engadget.com multiple unnamed sources suggest the plan is to include an HDMI passthrough and guide overlay, similar to the method used by Google TV. There's no word on any possible IR blaster (or IR GamePad, Wii U-style) integration, but thanks to Microsoft's partnerships with cable TV providers, it's trying to provide integration that goes a "step further" than what we've seen so far. That includes Kinect control, with next generation hardware that can recognize when viewers have turned their heads away and pause video automatically.
Many sites are talking about the hardware, and when decoded, it seems the Durango will not have as much graphic processing power as the PS4: Reports say that Xbox 720 will be released with a graphics chip comparable to the AMD Radeon 7790, vs. PS4's custom 1.84 TFlops, AMD Radeon Graphics Core Next Engine. Durango is also rumored to come with 8GB GDDR5 RAM and 32 MB of ESRAM, compared to the PlayStation's unified 8GB GDDR5 RAM. The Kinect 2.0 will also reportedly get a major boost to help cut down on lag. But the controller is expected to remain essentially the same.
As always, the excitement will build when we find out more about new or revamped games, and actually get a look at the thing! May 21st is the day Microsoft is supposed to officially unveil the 720 or Durango, or whatever it gets called. Check back for updates on the specs and features as we find them out.
Still in love with the Xbox 360? The rumor mill says there will be a $99 version released this Christmas. If you just want to hand down your 360 to a friend or relative, don't forget to add a great looking Xbox 360 skin, it will add both a cool design but also make it look just like new! And, we even make controller skins to match the console skins.

Autumn is here - time to buy a new laptop skin from videogame-skins.com!
An extra layer of protection
Plus, a portable device needs a skin - being taken everywhere means your iPad is exposed to being bumped, dinged, and scratched, but an iPad skin can help protect it. The skin itself is manufactured from a premium, tough vinyl material, and with the extra layer of laminate to keep the image fresh, it adds further protection to the outside. If you already have a laptop skin or iPad skin you know how many scratches your device could have had on it without a skin to protect it. If you don't, you will be convinced. Plus, the design you choose will add interest and style, and make your iPad or laptop easy to find! Personalization and protection, in one easy step.
Easy to remove with no gooey mess
The high quality vinyl we print on is made with a patented adhesive that removes leaving no sticky, gooey residue behind. This means if you are selling or trading in your iPad, you will get a higher price for it - it will look like new with the skin removed. It also means that when you want to change laptop skins to put a new fresh image on your laptop, it is easy to do with no special tools or adhesive removers required. The most you would need would be a soft cloth and some ordinary household rubbing alcohol, or in most cases - soapy water. Easy installation and easy removal - what a great product!

Traveling around can add unsightly scratches, dings and gouges to your laptop - protect it with a skin. Portability is great, but every time you stow it away in a case, satchel or backpack you risk damage. A skin adds a thin layer of beauty that also protects against bumps and dings.
iPads are becoming more common, but with the high initial cost, it is even more crucial to protect your tablet. Even if you use a case or stand, a skin will still be a visible layer of protection that will make your iPad readily identifiable as yours!

Get a new iPad cover for Spring!
What is an iPad cover? Some people call them iPad skins, iPad stickers, or iPad decals - whatever you call it, it is an essential accessory for your iPad! A cover, or skin, for your iPad consists of a colorful vinyl decal that sticks to the outside of your iPad. An iPad skin (or cover, or sticker) helps to protect the surface of the iPad, helping to keep the device looking great for a long time.
An iPad cover also adds a design element, and since you pick which design to install, it is a reflection of your personality, too. Your iPad will look great, and with the iPad cover you will always be able to pick your iPad out of the crowd.
An iPad sticker starts with a great digital image. This high definition image is printed on the highest quality 3M brand vinyl available. This vinyl is thin, but tough - and the adhesive on the back is also removable with no mess left behind. So you can change designs every season if you want to, and keep your iPad cover fresh. We add a thin layer of lamination to the iPad cover to protect the image, and add another layer of scratch-proofing.
Some people think they don't need an iPad cover if they already have a case, but a cover keeps the outside of the iPad brand new, NOTHING can scratch the surface through the iPad cover! So when it's time to upgrade and trade in or sell your iPad, it will be worth more, because it will look brand new. And we even email you the design to add a matching wallpaper for your home screen!
iPad covers are easy to put on, and there is guidance available on our website - we have written instructions and even a video to show you how to install it, step by step.
So it's time to spring clean, and that includes putting a new cover on your iPad. Whether you are replacing an old cover or skin, or putting on your first one, browse the selection of great looking images on our website, and remember - if you have any questions, email, livehelp! or call us for answers.
