is it just a rental? Might be cool to see in HD.

The Bus 12-12-07 12:36 PM

It wouldn't be in HD.

Raul3 12-12-07 12:53 PM

It's not in HD. And it's not a rental, it's forever, or whatever Microsoft thinks is a movie you purchase and can play anytime.

I was in TRU yesterday, and I was suprised to see that the 2 Arcade bundles they had on the shelf listed the higher power (203W), but the one Pro bundle had the lower power (175W). It will be interesting to see what Amazon sends me.

The 2 pack-ins, PGR3, Tiger Woods 08 and Madden 08 (from my memory). So I suppose it's $100 worth of extra games.

Yep, you are correct on the pack-ins. Not a bad deal...it was $340 shipped for a Elite with the 3 extra games basically.

Madden may still fetch a decent price....so I can trade that in since I already own it. I wanted TW08 and never played Marvel. I just found it odd they offered PGR3 rather than PGR4. Still, I'm happy.

I thought I had read that all their movies are 2 week "rentals" or something like that.

That's why I asked. AFAIK, there hasn't been a single movie you could keep. Only TV shows.

Also kinda silly to pack in a code for a SD film with an HD purchase.

Wasn't there a small download for ipod compatibility a long time ago? I can't get my ipod to work with my 360 anymore, and I can't find where that download would be.

Gromit 12-12-07 08:18 PM

AFAIK, it's not a rental. It probably is SD though.

FusionX 12-12-07 08:25 PM

Animatrix download is SD, its even SD in the HD box set.

Burnout demo now available. Seems pretty sweet so far...

Giantrobo 12-13-07 08:30 AM

I downloaded the Frontlines:Fuel of War DEMO and it was kinda cool.

Gotta download that before I head out to my final. Will enjoy it this afternoon after the final.

Michael Corvin 12-13-07 10:25 AM

I think I'm going to time the 360 download vs. the PS3 download for Burnout.

Decadance 12-13-07 11:07 AM

So whats the general opinion on the Burnout demo. I get the feeling those who loved Revenge will dislike it in general. I hard an electronic hardon for revenge so after briefly playing the demo, I am a little iffy about it.

lotsofdvds 12-13-07 11:13 AM

I like that they've done away with that idiotic "Slam into the back of a car and send it flying through the air" nonsense. If you slam into the back of a van you should get crushed. It adds to the strategy, not being able to just bully your way through the game.

RichC2 12-13-07 11:26 AM

Yeah, Revenge lost a lot of the charm that #3 had when it added that bumper car BS. Glad its gone.

What Amex Wishlist? Dammit - I guess I should read all the junk mail I get from them.

Yeah - I missed it this year. It's an online thing sorta like the Amazon deal from a few weeks ago.

fumanstan 12-13-07 02:09 PM

I missed it this year too. I got a Zune last year and totally forgot to check on the deals this year.

jonw9 12-13-07 02:40 PM

I have not been on much lately, but just got my dashboard update last night.

I thought there was a way to remove "demo" games from your played list, was this option added and I am missing it?

Michael Corvin 12-13-07 02:46 PM

Demo games from this point on won't appear on your list. Anything that's already there is there to stay.

Spiderbite 12-13-07 02:54 PM

And to me that is bullshit. Why can't them make a button when you click on that old demo you played to delete it from "played games."
