well, I was able to sign up for the license on my 360, i figured id be able to cancel it in the same manner.

honestly, i think they put those extra steps in there on purpose, knowing that people like me would either forget about it, or put it off for a month or two...


fuk it. Im trading the game in today, and getting 60 dollars of credit for Lost Planet. That should easily make up for this BS

"Fail a song on easy". Looks like they are starting to just give achievements away.

I did chuckle at this achievement.

I still cannot stream videos using Tversity. I think that I have deleted all of my video codecs, but is there a way to see what codecs are installed on your computer? I installed the K-Lite Mega Pack and still had the issue, so I am thinking that maybe I missed deleting a codec?

What ever happened to Frame City Killer? I noticed this game was due in november but it was still not available at gamenflix. Then I start searching online and it's like the game was never really being made.

Hey, I just read an article explaining why HD-DVD has officially won the format war. The adult film industry has chosen their new format and just like VHS versus Beta, they chose the non-Sony format.

Wasn't the porn industry among the early adopters of the dvd format and the first to take advantage of special features like multi-angles and other stuff? People may not want to admit it but porn is often ahead of the game.

Yes, if I remember correctly there were really 2 things that made DVD take off. 1. Porn 2. the PS2 playing DVDs.

You think that's bad...they don't even carry F.E.A.R.

Actually they have it. You just have to search for F.E.A.R in the 360 section. The site sucks so they don't have all their games listed.

I've done that, quite a few times.

EDIT: I've even emailed a CSR about it. Apparently, I'm a dumbass, and the CSR is a lazyass, because you're right...it's there.

perhaps you didn't type it in as F.E.A.R since I didn't try typing it without the ... I don't know if it would make a difference. Oh, and their CSRs are lazy. Every month atleast one of my games is bad and I keep emailing them to get them to send me a new one and they just respond to send it back and the next movie in my queue will be sent. Well, that's great and all except it takes them a week to get me a game, so by the time I get another game it's two weeks later and I went half the month with no game. Plus I have to re-add the broken game and wait again...

Is this a one entry per day or one entry overall thing?

while that is a factor, it will not have anywhere near the effect it did in the vhs-betamax war. at the time home video was one of, if not the only, source of porn without going to a seedy theater. today obviously it is hard not to find porn everywhere online at the click of a button. the home video market doesn't have nearly the power it did 20 years ago. good discussion on this over a thedigitalbits

It is unclear. From the wording on the site it seems to be first come first serve yet the link is still active, which is odd since normally these would have been snatched up in minutes. Speculation is leading towards a drawing because of that. I would assume you could do one for every day but you will probably only net one.

On the other hand if it is first come, first serve and they aren't getting through all of them do to a lack of promotion or whatever, I guess they could say screw it and send you one for each day if you sign up for them.

Yeah, I read the T&C. They don't seem all that clear as what they are doing.

Possible stupid question, but I will ask regardless. Can you link two profiles to one Live account? Or if you have multiple people playing in the house, you must pay for each separately?
