Wow. Has it really been over a year since the last time I shared some small interesting facts about this place? I blame it on being busy trying to keep you all happy. Interesting Facts, for those of you who weren’t around during the last one, is when I share a little bit about the behind-the-scenes of U360.
I’m using a few different programs to track the most popular pages, keywords and other things that come through the site. With that said and because of the limits of my current program, I can’t share most of what I used to. I don’t have access to the complete view via cPanel because I’m at work so I’ll just use this basic program that I have access to currently. One of the fun things to do is run the search strings to see where the article pops up.
Let’s look at the top 5 of some Interesting Facts shall we?
I’m sure plenty of you have been waiting for the new DRM Tool from Microsoft to properly transfer your content license to another console so that you don’t have to be connected to Xbox Live in order to play your purchased content. Well, Microsoft released that tool today. You don’t have to worry about getting punked by DRM it seems.
I give you the Content License Transfer Tool. One thing I wanted to point from the video below is that movie licenses will not be transferred and you’ll only be able to do this once a year. Yep, that’s one time per 12 months. Those of you getting refurbished consoles should have your licenses transferred for you from now on.
Click here for detailed instructions on using the DRM Tool
Two Part Process
It’s a simple two-part process.
First, you must transfer your authorized licenses on Xbox.com.
Second, you must download the transferred licenses onto your new Xbox 360.

The Behemoth and their highly anticipated Xbox Live Arcade title, Castle Crashers, are getting into the survey business. The most interesting thing about this particular survey is one of the categories included a certain place that you might be familiar with. There’s a category asking how much one reads a particular website and one of the listed sites is your favorite hangout, Unscripted 360. I expect you all to be honest and select “Read All The Time”. It adds the needed spice and flare to the survey I think.
The Behemoth just made their way onto my Christmas list. I hope the game finds its way to the Xbox Live Arcade soon. It’s currently going through the motions in the certification process so cross your fingers that it won’t be long until it releases. And to make the survey even better, I added a little humor to one of the Castle Crashers wallpaper.

It’s madness I tell ya the cost of maintaining a good old fashioned geek lifestyle. I mean who knew that pounds of cheetos and numerous pints of soda would amount to so much.
GameStrata, the leading online community for gamers, today released results from a survey of North American video game enthusiasts showing that over their peak gaming years of 18-48 the average gamer spends more than $30,500 on games and gaming hardware. Just ask Rick Chapelle.
It’s time to cross the finish line. Day 4’s hints proved to be the most challenging of them all yesterday. There were literally only 4 or 5 of you who got them all right.

Today is the day that the Five Days of Kane Giveaway begins! It’s time to count down to the June 23rd release of Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath for the Xbox 360 and do it in style! Behold the debut of the first theme-inspired style for U360. Thanks to my good friend ZaaM It for the coding magic! I’ll be using the Kane’s Wrath theme for the duration of the giveaway.
Everyone should be familiar with treasure hunts here or in this case, word hunts. The last hunt went extremely well so I decided to bring back the hunting fun. Each day through Friday I’ll hide 5 words inspired by Command & Conquer. Each word will be Kane Red. When you find the word, send me an email or message via Xbox Live. I’ll tally up the day’s correct answers and pick the winner amongst the top hunters.
Are you ready to hunt?
Each day this week, someone will win! 5 days. 5 winners. Each winner gets the game, a Nod T-shirt and Nod mug. Thanks to EA for the goodies.
