  • Xbox update is up

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Includes full games on demand, some avatar shit, and probably other little things.

I don't know what the American prices are for the GOD, but every game they have up there now can be found here new at retail for upwards of 50% cheaper.

I got all excited that the GOD had prices listed in REAL CURRENCY... but no, everything else is still in stupid microsoft points :(

You're right Blotus, $30 for Bioshock is not any savings... but I don't see anything as being 50% more expensive. It looks like these prices are in line with what it would cost new at a store.

He said 50% cheaper.

I more or less have settled comfortably in love with my 360 as my all-purpose entertainment box. Coupled with my love for XNA and the fact that they actually let me program for it too, and Microsoft basically owns me as a consumer.

It is a spectacular arrangement for me to almost completely ignore because I'm in a rut working too hard and when I take breaks the only thing I seem to want to play is Warcraft 3, probably because I don't have to think anymore for that game and can just idle on instinct.

The way I read his wording, he was saying that he could find the same titles at a store for 50% less than what GOD was offering.
