NEWS:

1. Signs revealed (hex168.com)

So, the ARG I mentioned yesterday has been revealed, and it's a contest.

If you go to www.hex168.com, you'll find an Roswell-esque dossier of "Hex sightings" compiled by "Dr. Jason Lutz" -- basically, the weird, the bizarre, the unusual -- that are supposed to be the result of the Hex effect".

If you submit something equally bizarre (photo with caption, video, etc.) you might be one of 360 people to net an Xbox 360 early. Other prizes include three Xbox 360 games (Perfect Dark Zero, Project Gotham Racing 3 and Kameo: Elements of Power), a one year GOLD Xbox LIVE membership, and a three day/two night trip for the winner to an Xbox 360 event.

The rules?

"Researchers should keep in mind the Priciples of the Hex:

"Some of These Things Are Not Like the Others."
"Some of You People Are Not Like the Others."

Anything else, Dr. Lutz?

"usually emits its strongest vibrations in groupings of 1, 6, or 30."

"Truly, the beginning is nigh."

2. Fable redux ships

Fable: The Lost Chapters (Microsoft Game Studios and Lionhead Studios) shipped to stores today as a Platinum Hits (MSRP of only $19.99) title for Xbox.

The expanded title includes the original game, with added new areas to explore, new weapons, new spells, and new quests.

3. National Instruments to test Xbox 360 controllers

Microsoft has picked Austin-based National Instruments LabVIEW and PXI-based test solution for its Xbox 360 controllers. This is a virtual instrumentation solution (developed in Microsoft's design validation lab) is now part of the production line to functionaly test every Xbox 360 controller.
