Title: New Xbox Update Fail
Post by: demi on July 28, 2009, 11:09:15 PM
The section that shows what games you 100% only lists the last 12 games you completed. Yet I can scroll down the damn hallway and see every fucking game I've played.

Too bad. I only have 1 game listed and that's NBA 2K6 or something.

Also the colors are VERY dark now compared to before. That's weird. Guess I better re-tweak my settings.

the update makes everything a lot faster.  There are a few times when it hands still, but it's never more than 2 seconds compared to 30+ before the update.

other than that and rating games, don't really care about other changes.  The current people previewing it think Fallout 3 is the best game on the 360 :rock

If you have the new update, you might want to reinstall your games.  Alot of people at GAF are saying that the install sizes are smaller now.  I know that Rock Band 2 went from 6.4 gigs to 4.3 :o

Viva Pinata Trouble In Paradise is available for DL, it's 5GB and $30, but if you change it to MS points its listed as FREE. But it won't let me download it  :'(
Title: Re: New Xbox Update Fail
Post by: Eel O'Brian on August 04, 2009, 07:22:18 PM
$30?  That game is $20 brand new at Gamestop.  If that's any indication of the pricing of the games, they probably aren't going to sell very many through that service.  Like installing games to the HDD, this is just another step toward getting people used to the idea of having full games installed on the system itself.  I predict by next Fall they'll be offering some games for download day and date with the disc release.

You can now use PayPal to buy MS points from Xbox.com

This is very good for people who already have an account and don't want to deal with putting your info on your XBL account.

Mass Effect is $50nzd tops here in stores, $50nz gets around 3000 MS points... I kinda knew this service was going to blow dick

it will be nice when/if publishers and console makers didn't have to worry about retail stores.  though I think MS would still charge this much just for the convenience.
