Oh well the box is grayed out where is says google checkout. They must have found out and blocked it cuz it's says google checkout is not available for this item.

xmiyux 06-29-06 12:03 PM

Weird i even just got in on the deal not 10 minutes ago through the google checkout.

Mok 06-29-06 12:17 PM

oh I see how it works, I was logged into my dvdempire account. Since I logged out now I can checkout using google. thanks.

Flay 06-29-06 03:07 PM

Looks like the gravy train is over on those points. But you can still use the discount on other Xbox 360 stuff. or DVDs or whatever.

Deftones 06-29-06 03:13 PM

Yeah, they probably got slammed on this. I'm sure it was just a stock issue, because it seemed like this was a google discount, not a DVDEmpire discount.

xmiyux 06-29-06 04:32 PM

Now i just need another offer for cheap points since i missed the overstock.com one. 1600 should cover me on the CoD maps and hopefully Street Fighter II but i still like have a few sticking around for later.

I had already purchased 1600 w/a Radio Shack GC for that reason. This is just gravy for anything that pops up later.

xmiyux 06-29-06 04:53 PM

This is of course assuming that SFII isn't just a myth. Like Bigfoot. I'm wondering if i'll ever get to see it. Then i know bloody well i will just be owned by everyone when i start playing it again. :lol:

Throw out a plate of curry, it'll come.

No. It's like the golden ticket from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Bill Gates will soon be inviting you to tour the Redmond, WA compound.

Deftones 06-30-06 01:28 AM

Played the new CoD2 maps w/ Exodus, Polekat and goLucky tonight. Good variety, a few small maps, and a few larger ones. Alot more nooks and crannies on some of them for the snipes like myself. ;)

Awesome! Does Bill Gates have his own Oompa Loompas?

Got an free hour for some downloading?

The Prey demo has been released: 1.17 GB

MasterofDVD 06-30-06 02:34 PM

So much for new content never coming out on Fridays. :)

xmiyux 06-30-06 02:39 PM

Woo hoo! Have that sucker as an active download now. And the demo is multiplayer as well :)

The demo is pretty wild so far. I have to say that no matter what the rest of the demo holds I am very impressed with one thing:

Spoiler:
When you are on the alien ship and the aliens are listening to Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell. I listen now and then and think its a pretty crazy and cool addition to the game.

Michael Ballack 06-30-06 05:18 PM

I'm downloading the prey demo now.

MasterofDVD 06-30-06 05:48 PM

After the demo I almost want to throw up. The very end of the demo took me forever and gravity was taking it's toll on me. It's a crazy game and as soon as my stomach stops turning I want to try the online part.

1998Nole 06-30-06 05:51 PM

Prey downloaded pretty quick less than a hour, it took me 30 minutes today to download the COD maps which were only 330mb or so.

Mok 06-30-06 05:58 PM

Wow this demo is awesome!

RichC2 06-30-06 06:45 PM

Graphically, the Prey demo is a bit on the muddled side, but the game is a blast to play. Not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach (namely for Motion sickness), but damn was it a fun demo. Definitely want the game now.

With all the talk of it only being 30 fps, I was a lil worried (dunno why, since 30fps is quite smooth), but if that's how the whole game ran, I'd be a very happy camper.

PalmerJoss 06-30-06 06:50 PM

Loved every second of the Prey demo. The framerate was so-so in spots but the gameplay more than made up for it. I'll be picking this up in a couple weeks when it comes out.

Blitz6Speed 06-30-06 08:18 PM

Downloading the Top Spin 2 Wimbeldon demo and Prey together through active downloads, but Prey is Pending still, weird.. But its damn apparent MS said screw any other deal they had for this demo, they needed something new to download for XBL or more hell was going to break loose. Good job listening to the consumer, even tho it took a damn long time to react.

Michael Ballack 06-30-06 10:36 PM

Played a little bit of the Prey demo, it also made me a little sick, but I've had food since then and am ready to try again.

Blitz6Speed 07-01-06 01:40 AM

I tried multiplayer first. Felt it was choppy, not smooth and felt really doomish. Didnt feel like a solid FPS shooter to me, very childish and not really into it. I then tried the single player game and was astonished how great the story was told, how it unfolded and generally really nice presentation. However, i didnt feel sick while playing, but now that i stopped i feel woozy. Doesnt feel anywhere NEAR as polished as battlefield for online. Overall, not super impressed, definetly not on my buy list.

Odd, while I agree it felt Doomish, the multiplayer didn't feel choppy at all.

That said, I'm more interested in the single-player aspect personally. Here's to hoping for an importable copy.

Zodo 07-01-06 08:27 AM

I played the SP portion of the demo first and was very impressed. It did make me feel EXTREMELY nauseous though. I had to stop for a while and come back to it.

I was prepared to buy if the MP was good, but after actually playing the MP there's no way I'm buying this game. It felt very choppy and just generally boring. I liked Q4 MP better than this crap.


Game is now a rental for me.

Flay 07-01-06 02:49 PM

I never get nauseous in FPS games, but I did get a little dizzy in Prey with those gravity changers. Didn't care much for the multi, but I really don't like deathmatch modes anyway.

maingon 07-01-06 03:21 PM

Prey demo was awesome, I was suprised. I love how it immersives you. the bar, with the being able to change music, play with the tv, play games etc. then when the aliens come its awesome great audio btw

That is the first thing I thought.

Cool single player. I have to agree on the multi though. Seemed quite uninspired and dull.

I got a kick out of that from the promo from E3.

bahgee 07-03-06 08:44 AM

Does anyone know if you can have 2 human players play against 2 computer players in the full version of UNO. My wife and I were trying to play Partner UNO (we both have xbox live gamertags and silver memberships and are on each others friends list), but only one of us can play at a time against 3 computer players. Note: we don't want to play on xbox live gold, just want to play the two of us versus two computer players. Is this possible?

Michael Corvin 07-03-06 09:02 PM

You have to have two tvs, two 360s and two Live accounts. You can't play on the same screen, you would see each others cards.

matome 07-04-06 10:52 AM

Yeah, not sure how Partner Uno works in real life, as I doubt you would know what cards your partner has (the only way to play with two real players on the same screen). The computer doesn't plays partners as if it knows the other player's cards, so it probably would consider that cheating.

1998Nole 07-04-06 11:47 PM

I have been checking xbox.com for information regarding XBLA arcade every few days and tonight on the recent additions section they listed Frogger. It has some nice features for live I was unaware of like co-op. The release date listed Summer 2006. Hopefully it will be out soon.

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/f/fr...60/default.htm


Versus speed mode: Race a friend in split screen or Xbox Live action with this exciting new mode. Take as many frogs as you need to be the first to get five across the street for a new, intense competition.
Co-op play: With a friend in the room, or on the other side of the world via Xbox Live, put your competitive nature aside and work together to push your frogs to the limit.
All new bonuses: Rescue extra frogs, discover Frogger's friends, and search out tasty insect bonuses to push your score higher. There's an all time high score for this title, and someone's gonna have to beat it.
