The latest “Inside Xbox” video for this week is another video overview of the latest Modern Warfare 2 DLC content coming to Xbox Live. The same video avenue was used to show off the Stimulus Map Pack with Robert Bowling briefly going over each of the “new” maps. In the latest video you’ll get a peek at the 3 new maps and the 2 “throwback” maps from COD4. You can expect to pick up the Resurgence Map Pack on Xbox Live starting June 3rd.

Earlier in the week Microsoft made a change to their MS Points structure which allowed points to be purchased in increments of 400 rather than the standard 500 point increment through the Xbox 360. Microsoft has been constantly hounded by people since this system was implemented, leaving many people with left-over points (wasted money) after making purchases that fell short of their purchased amount. You will now be able to buy points in the following denominations: 400, 800, 1600, 4000.

Ubisoft just announced that they will be providing free weekly downloadable-content for Splinter Cell: Conviction on Xbox Live starting tomorrow, April 15th. Tomorrow you’ll be able to pick up the MP7A1 machine pistol via the game’s “Extras” in-game menu and eventually more weapons, skins and even a new Deniable Ops map. Ubisoft has not said how long this weekly DLC will go on for, but my guess would be one to two months.

Microsoft recently sent out an e-mail detailing the new Xbox Live content that will be coming out in the next few weeks, which includes some Just Cause 2 DLC. According to the e-mail the DLC coming to JC2  will be called “Chevalier Ice Breaker” and will be released on April 7th, just a few days from now.

Furthermore, some DLC details were uncovered in the JC2 demo which lays out a lot of upcoming content, included a new jet fighter and even some new weapons. According to this list the “Chevailer Ice Breaker” will most likely feature a “pimped-out” ice cream truck.

FourZeroTwo, Robert Bowling, just tweeted out that MW2 will be receiving a “Double XP Weekend” on April 2nd running until the 5th on Xbox Live. This is the first weekend following the release of the map pack, so be sure to clear your schedules. Be sure to take advantage of this event and further your progression to that elusive 10th prestige, I know i will be.

At a recent presentation given by Bizarre Creations and Activision discussing their latest creation, Blur, details have been unveiled as to how Twitter would be integrated into the game.

According to the developers, players will be able to “challenge” other players based upon single player accomplishments and stats via Twitter. This will allow for cross-platform challenge support as well as giving Xbox Live Silver users the ability to challenge and accept challenges from other Xbox Live members (gold or silver).

However, Xbox 360 users will still need a Gold account to experience simultaneous online multiplayer (head-to-head). Blur is scheduled to begin in a “closed” beta next Monday and will be released on the 25th in the US and 28th in the UK.

In a recent study by the NPD Group it was found that the Xbox 360 is the most played video game console online per week, averaging at 7.3 hours a week. The PC follows in second place with an average of 6.6 hours per week with the PS3 closing in around 5.8 hours. While the 360 sees the most game time per week online, the PC still holds the title for the “most-used system for online gaming, with 85% of online gamers reporting using a PC for online gaming activities”.

This survey was completed by 18,872 individuals ranging from various age groups. While I find this study’s results unsurprising in one sense, I just wonder if they included all those WoW players in the world and Farmville addicts, I’m sure they rack up well over the recommended time spent playing games online (whatever that number may be). It’s also important to note that online gaming, overall, has increased 10% since 2009 and DLC continues to rise as well.

Press release after the break!

Xbox LIVE's Major Nelson recently updated his blog with a list of the top 20 LIVE games for all of 2009 based on unique users and games purchased. The list spans not only full Xbox 360 games, but also arcade games, indie titles, and Games for Windows LIVE titles. Halo 3 remains king for Xbox 360 unique users and after only one month of being on store shelves, Modern Warfare 2 trumps Call of Duty: World at War. (Sorry Treyarch)

Follow the break for the full list:

With an onslaught of classics in the pipeline primed for re-release, Namco Bandai is preparing to ramp up its presence in the digital market next year.

The latest issue of Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has revealed the unsurprising revelation that Capcom's retro-fitted Mega Man 10 is indeed a multiplatform title. Decked in 8-bit pixels, it's due out on both PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade alongside the already announced WiiWare release. There's not much else to deduce from the scan, other than the fact Mega Man's brother Protoman will once again be making an appearance in this one.

Still no word on a date, but we'll keep you posted.
