Peter Moore resigns

Just taken a look on my Google Reader to see that Engadget are reporting that Peter Moore, the head guy at Microsoft, has resigned.

It’s hard to call the Xbox 360 anything but a success, but having missed some sales numbers, ringing up an extra unexpected $1b on the corporate card because of warranty issues, and still generally failing to make a profit, it looks like Peter Moore, who we just sat down with a few days ago, has stepped down from his embattled position as the ringleader of Microsoft’s Xbox group.

It seems that he’s not leaving the gaming industry completely though, he’s to become President of EA Sports. Maybe not quite the same calibre as being Vice President of Microsoft, but a pretty darn decent job.

Cool Simpsons Ltd Ed Soundtrack

Once again, I’ve been looking through the Tag Surfer here on WordPress and one of the blog entries posted by bricksb was about the upcoming Limited Edition soundtrack of The Simpsons Movie.

It seems they brought Hans Zimmer in to reproduce the old classic theme tune originally created by Danny Elfman. Fifteen tracks adorn the soundtrack with notable track names like Clap for Alaska, Thank You Boob Lady and His Big Fat Butt Could Shield Us All.

It’s due for release at the end of the month, so I’ll be sure to place my order soon!
