Xbox 360 titles given next-gen barcodes
>> From mcvuk.com:
[QUOTE]
Microsoft is to introduce a new barcode onto Xbox 360 games this year, which can hold double the amount of data than the commonplace black and white stripes.

Microsoft engineering director Gavin Jancke, who developed the new High Capacity Color Barcode (HCCB), said the aim was not to replace the current barcode system, reports the BBC.
"It's more of a 'partner' barcode," he said. "The UPC barcodes will always be there. Ours is more of a niche barcode where you want to put a lot of information in a small space."
Because the barcode can be read by mobile phone cameras, Microsoft claims that it can be used to go online.
