SouthEnd has been green lit by Microsoft to develop a new Xbox 360 Live Arcade title based on a SouthEnd IP. More information about this title will be revealed as launch gets closer, but speculations are that SouthEnd might be working on an XBLA version of its 2002 multiplayer enabled, although splitscreen only, Xbox brutal fighting sport title DeathRow.

It seems at least one X360 fan got lucky as he was able to purchase Microsoft's Xbox Live Vision camera, a month ahead of its scheduled Sept. 19 release date, at his local Toys 'R' Us. The package includes a headset, the camera, 1 month of Live Gold, and a registration key for fan-fave Uno. Whether this is a across the board occurance at Toys 'R' Us is not yet known, as it looks now this is merely a stocking error, but it does mean the cameras are already in stores, albeit get in the back.
