It's been a busy - and good - week for Microsoft. Not only did they successfully implement the price drops, they've also successfully reaped in the benefits. Too early to say, yes, I know, but with a strong number of 43% up in sales (even if it's just for the Xbox 360 Elite), it's no wonder there's more bounce in their steps as of late. After all, they're not at the bottom of the pile when it comes to hardware sales, if you catch my drift.

But hardware is not the only thing that went on this week, especially not when another gaming event is going on - PAX 2009. Announcements, debuts rumors and rumor-breakers all abound in this Weekend Warrior for the Xbox 360 blog. Jump right in!
