I didn't download the demo, hence I have no idea.

The screensaver is very soothing, but it's not amazingly realistic. It is definitely better than the Feeding Frenzy screensaver. It could also use more fish as well, which requires unlocking achievements or buying 62 cent fish packs.

There is an selection in the Options menu that takes you directly into the screensaver, but you can't turn off the wireless controller. A controller would have to stay connected while the screensaver ran.

You have to launch Tetris Splash.

Is it worth the 800 points? I also can't view @ work.

There is a screen saver in Feeding Frenzy? I bought the game and never realized it had something like that.

My 360 is on the UPS truck :banana:

Straight from the PR:


Available for 300 Microsoft points, players can download the five-tile expansion that gives a bonus to the player who has the biggest city, and the player that has the longest road. The bonus is represented by avatars of a portly King and the crafty Robber Baron characters. The five bonus tiles are interesting configurations of Town pieces that can make Town construction even more dynamic and fun.

Along with the new tiles, come additional rule sets:
* The player with the largest completed Town will get the ‘King’ icon next to their Gamertag/Avatar. The player with the King icon at the end of the game will receive one point for each completed city in the game.
* The player with the longest completed Road will get the ‘Baron’ icon next to their Gamertag/Avatar. The player with the Baron icon at the end of the game will receive one point for each completed road in the game.

I just added you as a friend and I noticed that you've already played 11 XBLA games already!! :)

GatorDeb 10-03-07 04:01 PM

I turned on the option to download ALL arcade games :D

I own full versions of:
Bomberman
Time Pilot
Astropop
Frogger

Sorry I can't add you unless you buy Pac Man: CE.

Has Live been wonky for anyone else?

I played H3 last night no problems. I can surf the net with no speed issues. The marketplace blade to look for new downloads is ridiculously slow. Is Live just screwed now with Halo 3 or is it something going on tonight?

Does this mean I can delete 'GatorDeb' from my friends list, been there ever since the original Xbox. :)

Sorry for the noob question but I tried searching through the other threads and, well, they're pretty long.

I got a HD DVD add-on and want to play Halo 3 and HD DVDs. Don't expect to do a lot of online stuff. Do I need the Elite or will the premium HDMI do?

lordwow 10-03-07 10:15 PM

The Carcassonne expansions are very disappointing to me. There are some great ones included in the actual board game big box, and I fear they'd be much more than 300 points, considering 300 points gets you about 7 tiles.

PopcornTreeCt 10-03-07 11:40 PM

I can't believe you have to go through a fucking tutorial before you can start playing fucking tetris. It's fucking tetris!! Who the fuck hasn't played tetris before?! Fuck!

How about you press the B button and skip the tutorial?

From what I have read and been told, you should be just fine with the premium. I got the 20GB and once I cleared out a bunch of junk, I have plenty of room for saving games and some arcade live stuff.

I bought mine just for Halo 3, though I will likely get some other games eventually. I only plan to download demos and have no interest in downloading/renting movies (does anyone else feel that is a waste of points like I do?).

I've posted this before : What kills you with the 20GB space (well, besides the pre-partitioned 7 GB for BC) is map packs. It's nice to get free map packs for games like Lost Planet, R6 Vegas and Gears, but my god do they take up a lot of space. I'm also pissed that I need 1.5 GB to load the expansion material from Oblivion that came on an othewise useless second disc in the GOTY vesion. I kind of wish I had more space, even with very few videos. Still I think the Elite is a rip-off.

GatorDeb 10-04-07 09:39 AM

My humor was not received well online :( When I said "hey there's three of us left, I'm sure I can get third place" no one laughed... sigh :( It seems I landed into a group of friends because they kept ignoring me and talking to each other.... so I'm there waiting for the host to start and after 4 minutes they come back "Oh you're still here" "Oh I fell asleep" "Hey I played yesterday and they didn't start until I left, like he didn't want to play with me"

GatorDeb 10-04-07 09:49 AM

Then they start talking about how of them gets achievements for other people and offers his friend to do all achievements for a game while he's in school. "Ok off to smoke some weed" "Before school dude? Huh Huh" "The Japs are the only ones that rule" "That game is so gay" "Eternal Sonata sucked, that game is so boring dude" "hahahahaha"

Decker 10-04-07 10:33 AM

Welcome to Live. :rolleyes:

PixyJunket 10-04-07 10:38 AM

:lol:

Unless you're a twelve year old boy, just don't play random matches on Live.. it's detrimental to your mental health I've found (and detrimental to your opinion of the human race). Actually, random matches on WARTECH: Senko no Ronde are pretty good.
