Richard is gone this week, so Josh is joined again by Chris Barnes to cover the latest Microsoft entertainment technology news. They kick off the show with some good news for European Windows Media Center users who might be looking to watch Amazon Instant Video. Then they get into a plethora of Windows Phone news. A new device from Samsung is on the horizon, but not before Nokia makes an announcement. It even looks like HTC might make a new Windows Phone! On the Windows 8 front it looks as if Microsoft is killing off the Surface Wireless Keyboard Adapter. In the land of Xbox Microsoft looks to be taking steps toward getting players to be a little nicer to each other, or at least not as mean. There’s also a great bargain to be had on an Xbox One Titanfall bundle. More media apps are coming to both the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One, and the next gen console finally sees a sale on a couple of games. The guys wrap up the show by discussing the implications of Facebook buying Oculus VR. If you’re not listening live you’re missing a lot of fun, so make sure to join Josh and Richard for the live recording of episode 271 on Wednesday, April 2nd at 8:00pm ET!
