Are all Xbox Live "kits" the same/equal now.
Meaning can this be considered a 12-Month Live Gold Membership by Microsoft?

Thanks for the info!

Kinda strange though, considering you can currently buy a 12-Month Xbox Live card from Amazon for $43, but they charge $50 for a 12-Month Xbox 360 Live Gold Membership card.

Funny how they are the same thing!

The way some people are with gamerscores, Microsoft should start selling rediculusly easy games for a hefty price that are worth a ton of points:

PONG - Price - 8000 markeplace points

ACHIEVEMENTS

Turn on 360 via Controller: 2,000 points
Start Game: 3,000 points
Make contact with one ball: 5,000 points

DAMN!! I lost my 360 for the second time! I had a bad drive in March, and now I turned it on and it froze up, got all staticy and when I restarted I got the three red lights on the RoL showing a hardware failure. The CSR manager was cool and said he was flagging my account since this is my second incident and hopefully we will not have another.

I tried Galaga....it was tolerable, but I will not purchase. I noticed the OUTFIT SKirmish Map Pack is FREE now. Too bad I traded it in...oh well.

Microsoft announced today that “Fuzion Frenzy 2” will make its way to store shelves in the United States this holiday. Published by Microsoft and developed by Hudson, “Fuzion Frenzy 2” is a party game for Xbox 360 set in space that combines futuristic arcade action, superior mini-games, tournament modes, and custom tailored games with online features such as multiplayer and customizable tournaments.



Players are able to create their own unique tournaments that can be shared on Xbox Live while building achievement points. Radical themes and characters utilize the visual HD technology of the Xbox 360. Gamers can also use tournament cards that are either won or given out to defeat their opponents in rank, select the next mini-game to be played, or choose their next destination planet.



“Fuzion Frenzy 2” offers a variety of 40 mini games that a wide audience can play. Players battle new tournaments on seven different planets by competing in games such as the Collision Collusion, Turbine Jumper, and Super Slam Dunk which is a advanced slam dunk shootout played in low gravity where players try to steal the ball from their challengers to score a slam dunk.

See, now that sounds fun.

It sounds like a bit of a Mario Party type game with online multiplayer. That is one thing I wish mario party had. I love to play the game, but I don't always have 3 other people to play it with.

I think FF2 will sell really well as long as it doesn't come with a $59 price tag. I can't imagine many people paying that much for a party game like that...although it has happened with games like Donkey Konga so who knows. The first one was a blast.

FF2 does sound like a good deal of fun. Does 40 mini-games sound like a decent amount though? How many did games like Mario Party 7 have?

I'm also having problems with my replacement 360. Over the past few days (playing Burnout Revenge), the screen locks and goes all pixelated and blocky. I can only power off and back on again.

Looks like I'll be calling (again) as well.

That is what mine did, but then when I restarted I had the red ring. I do not think customer service will do anything before you get the red ring.

I remember Fusion Frenzy on the Playstation. I liked it, but I didn't like the controls on it. So I didn't play much.

But between FF2 and Bomberman coming soon, this should be a good 2nd half of 4 player games.

Why do you think they made him a mod? One of the pre requisites is that you cannot be funny!

See, I for one, enjoy our Liver&Onions Mod. even if I wouldn't eat the dish he gets his username from.

I think its that dirty Martini that doesn't have a sense of humor.


Ok.. not really. But its fun to say.

Hell, I wouldn't touch the meal with a 10 foot pole. I hate the stuff.

But yeah, that kaka/martini guy is a little odd.

This is GREAT news, myself and a ton of my friends still to this day love the original fuzion frenzy (although it plays horribly on my 360)

Thanks for the info!!!!
