This news broke last week, so I’m a little late. But it’s important news, so I’ll post it anyway.

The Content License Transfer Tool (aka DRM Tool) is now available for use. This tool will allow you to consolidate licenses to a single console. What exactly does this mean? Well, a lot of sites reporting on this don’t seem to have a full understanding of what this is and exactly how it works. Even the official FAQ doesn’t make everything entirely clear, so I’ll do my best to what this is and why we have it. Hit the jump for the best explanation I can come up with.

[Insert witty image about CoD4/Halo3 here.]

Major Nelson has just posted his weekly Xbox LIVE stats for last week and for the third week in a row Call of Duty 4 gets to waive the foam finger.

Now one must wonder if Halo 3 will ever make a triumphant return to reclaim it’s throne.

I guess we can no more call it a fluke as Call of Duty 4 has held the top spot on Xbox LIVE for the second week in a row, according to Major Nelson’s weekly Xbox LIVE stats. Once again, Halo 3 has to be satisfied with a silver medal as CoD4 continues to dominate Xbox LIVE.

I must say, many of my friends have been playing CoD4 a lot recently, choosing to play it over Halo 3. If Infinity Ward can provide the long-time support to CoD4 that Bungie has shown to the Halo series, CoD4 could be here for a long, long time.

And what game won? Call of Duty 4. Major Nelson reports that the top spot is once again CoD’s after last week’s move back to the top by Halo 3.

On a more personal note, if you see me playing either game, just know that I’m an easy kill. I suck at FPSes if I don’t have my trusty keyboard and mouse.

After being defeated for the first time since it’s release, Halo 3 has bounced back to reclaim the #1 spot on Xbox LIVE. Major Nelson has posted the Xbox LIVE stats for last week, and it appears that Master Chief wasn’t about to stay at the #2 spot for long. It will be interesting to see if Call of Duty 4 simply had a lucky week or if it will fight back to regain the crown. What say you?

Australia, Europe, and New Zealand have had the demo available for awhile now. Today Major Nelson reported that the demo of The Club is now available in North America too.

I’ve been waiting for a good demo for the last couple of weeks, so I’m looking forward to checking this out.
