Welcome to Joystiq Xbox!
Well, here it is. The ascension has been completed: Xbox 360 Fanboy has become Joystiq Xbox. Aside from the new look, you'll notice that much more content is readily available. It's all up in your face. But, in a good way. Like a "hey, here's a bunch of gaming news if you want to read it, maybe" sort of way. If you scroll down some on the right side, you'll see the Xbox 360 Fancast has a module which streams the latest episode for you, allowing you to listen to the sweet sounds of Richard, Xav, Dustin, and Alexander while you read up on the latest Xbox 360 news. Episode 101 will drop sometime on Tuesday and the entire cast will discuss the new changes and why you should be excited.
The podcast archive and streaming version has been fixed in the side module. Feeds should continue to work properly but you may experience a hiccup or two, the Zune podcast feed may experience issues for example. If you have trouble just leave us a comment. We're here to serve!
The most important thing to keep in mind is that, while the name and look has changed, the spirit of Xbox 360 Fanboy lives on. This new, streamlined version of Joystiq Xbox has been developed to give you the best, up-to-date news on your favorite console with new and exciting content. You may notice other writers from within the network poking their heads in to drop in some news, so treat them with respect. After all, they are here to serve you, too!
To recap, our look and name may have changed, but you're going to get the same experience here at Joystiq Xbox. We hope you like the new coat of paint and please tell us what you think in the comments!

offday @ Jan 27th 2009 7:59AM
wtf indeed.
This is going to take some getting used to.
bioadam @ Jan 27th 2009 9:22AM
The name "Xbox 360 Fanboy" was so honest and descrptive. I will miss it.
x silence x @ Jan 27th 2009 12:27PM
Looks better and taking away the Fanboy term is a plus.
Joystiq>XXXXFanboy

One step closer to becoming IGN?
I hope not. I came here to avoid IGN and Gamespot.
yolarrydabomb @ Jan 27th 2009 1:57PM
I try to ignore them too.
makes me feel like I don't want to come back.
ZeroCorpse @ Jan 28th 2009 3:02PM
I do want to point out that your naming is kind of frakked up.
The URL is xbox.joystiq
the site name is Joystiq Xbox
Why are they reversed? If the site's called Joystiq Xbox, then why isn't the URL joystiq.xbox instead of the reverse?!?!
Nick @ Jan 28th 2009 6:17PM
@ZeroCorpse
Uh. Because joystiq.xbox doesn't work? The site is joystiq.com, not xbox.com
Domain name fail :P
TomeOne @ Jan 27th 2009 2:52AM
Oh so this is why my feeds went nuts.
L4MB @ Jan 27th 2009 9:31PM
True nuff. I checked it and was like "Too Much, TOO MUCH!"
derektgreen @ Jan 27th 2009 2:55AM
Is there still a mobile version?
Xav de Matos @ Jan 27th 2009 3:01AM
Yes: http://m.xbox.joystiq.com/
PP @ Jan 27th 2009 3:45AM
There still isn't a mobile site that works ?
I wrote in 1 month ago, to tell them that their mobile site linked to the normal joystiq page, and this is still the case..
Xav de Matos @ Jan 27th 2009 3:47AM
http://m.xbox.joystiq.com/ works fine.
We had a dedicated iPhone site for ages... i.xbox360fanboy.com, that is in the process of being changed over.
Fafhrdd @ Jan 27th 2009 7:53AM
The mobile site works GREAT. I have been using the mobile version of the old site for about 6 months now (and it worked all last month too) and the new one works just as well.
Maybe something wrong with your mobile device? It seems to be working for everyone else.
TORO @ Jan 27th 2009 11:13AM
Change is always good ;) I never knew there was a mobile version, I'll be checking this website more often now especially when I'm in the _____
PP @ Jan 27th 2009 1:25PM
Either something is wrong with every single one of my 4 mobile and 4 desktop browsers, or the links given on the mobile site are wrong.
They all point to the regular joystiq page, instead of having a m. in front.. ?
Hence sending me to the full layout page..
Are everyone else really being sent to the mobile version of the articles ?
The links are wrong: http://pastebin.com/m7cb89420 ??
john paul @ Jan 27th 2009 2:44PM
Could you write a post when the iphone version is ready?
Donalds5 @ Jan 27th 2009 3:05PM
all of the old stories are still on the mobile site, none of the new ones are displayed =O !!!!!!!!!! i hate this change >:[
Xav de Matos @ Jan 27th 2009 4:50PM
Our dev is working on a list of issues that will be fixed. We've only been live for a day, less than really. It'll take a little time.
We're working on it.
dade all nite @ Jan 27th 2009 2:56AM
this is pretty damn neat! :)
haukke @ Jan 27th 2009 2:57AM
i like the look i hate change but i will get used to it
Jon @ Jan 27th 2009 10:13AM
Agreed.
SourNotHardcore @ Jan 27th 2009 2:57AM
Joystiq Xbox = my new lover
Richard Mitchell @ Jan 27th 2009 8:59AM
I prefer Xbox.Joystiq over Joystiq Xbox. Maybe that's just me...
sgf_ @ Jan 27th 2009 2:04PM
lol, it's that guy from the gamer spotlight.
but yeah, gg xbox joystiq. :D
SourNotHardcore @ Jan 27th 2009 2:07PM
@sgt_ Nooo... Yeeess. ;]
john paul @ Jan 27th 2009 7:48PM
hey you're on community closeup..nice
john paul @ Jan 27th 2009 10:53PM
wait someone else said it...wait you a guy or a girl?...
pibs @ Jan 27th 2009 2:58AM
Its more grand, I like it!
AshTR @ Jan 27th 2009 2:59AM
I rather liked the X3F name, but oh well. This does look nicer, I guess.
This is because of the recession, isn't it....
a ham sandwich @ Jan 27th 2009 3:07AM
you know, it's funny. usually i hate name changes, but i think this one works well. it does a good job of communicating the fact that it's a "daughter-site" of joystiq while not sounding lame or inferior. i approve.
+1 internet xav!
Xav de Matos @ Jan 27th 2009 3:13AM
Quite the opposite. We've actually expanded.
ryan @ Jan 27th 2009 3:39AM
I miss the 360 globes. Now it's all hearts. Ah, well.
AshTR @ Jan 27th 2009 3:00AM
It got cut off from my comment, but http://m.xbox.joystiq.com/ appears to work for mobiles.
davidkenobi @ Jan 27th 2009 3:01AM
Cool stuff, my put on favorites.
Xav de Matos @ Jan 27th 2009 3:02AM
Post has been updated: Side module updated, podcast archive and streaming episode now working properly.
erisandra @ Jan 27th 2009 3:05AM

This is great! Love the look and all the new functionality, top notch indeed!
Really like this. The organization of the comments are great too. Really BIG plus there.
Works very well. Thanks guys!
NukeAssault @ Jan 27th 2009 3:07AM
I shall now refer to you as Joybox. =D
Xav de Matos @ Jan 27th 2009 3:27AM
It's actually JX. Believe.
xxTHE D0CT0Rxx @ Jan 27th 2009 8:46AM
@XAV
How about JX3F. Kind of like JRPG but the J means Joystiq in this case. Ha ha
ScreamoUK @ Jan 27th 2009 3:08AM
Great job guys! I really like the look and feel of the new site.
I'm looking forward to seeing the benefits of the new integration.
Congrats.
Xav de Matos @ Jan 27th 2009 3:15AM
You'll see even more content and features throughout the network, soonish!
ScreamoUK @ Jan 27th 2009 3:17AM
I'm sure the majority of us understand that these things take time. :-)
Xav de Matos @ Jan 27th 2009 3:20AM
I'd hope.
Jorge @ Jan 27th 2009 3:09AM
im going to miss xbox 360 fanboy :(
