It was but was pulled because it did not work properly don't know the specifics though. I guess they felt it was not worth fixing?

I bought a few thousand points the first day the system came out. I still have 3300 or so left. I think I've bought 2 arcade games, a few themes/gamerpics and the Tower for Oblivion.

I'm certainly going to keep a fair amount on hand since you never know what it going to go pop up in the Marketplace.

I really wish the point mistake MS made during the latest service period would of given me free points like so many others are reporting. I guess I have to pay like all the other "suckers".

So, is this any better than the first FIFA game? I may have to try the demo out. Not a big soccer fan anymore.

I bought a few points to get the tower for Oblivion. A spent a few on a Denver Brocos theme too. I don't have much left. I'll need more to get the maps for COD2.

I've been playing Hexic HD. It's addicting, even if it is a Tetris knockoff. I really love the new gamerpoints you get for completing acheivments, it makes games that you wouldn't other wise try things in fresh again.

I signed up with that a few days ago. But I've been busy playing Kingdom Hearts that I haven't turned on my 360 in a few days. Other then the 5 minutes on Tuesday to look at it after the long Live outtage.

I also recently signed up so i'm curious what mine will say in a few days when it collects the info needed. Granted this is probably just an amusing way for us to consent to Microsoft harvesting data from us.

Although this sounds dangerous for those of us who tend to talk to inanimate objects already. I would hate to start feeling guilty because my Xbox is talking poorly about me online.

It would be good if it would recognize certain things likes "miyu played some Halo last night. His deaths doubled his number of kills, i wonder if he needs to recharge his wireless controller or something."

I'd take a sledgehammer to any electronic device that used that "word," $400 or not.

You and me both, but I do think if you opened a game store using that as the name, you would probably make a shit-ton of money.

The blogs are creepy good fun, glad you guys liked it.


I think my Xbox is questioning my sexuality at this point though.


Tenacious Dave's Xbox - 05/02/06

Tenacious Dave held the Xbox button on his controller down for a few seconds and our adventure began! A gamer score of 6665 is lighting the way. He played Marble Blast Ultra, and then he almost hugged me, but I was like back off dude.


Tenacious Dave's Xbox - 05/04/06

It has been far too long since I felt the sweet spin of a game in my drive. Tenacious Dave is the only one that can give me what I need!
