Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest

Am I missing something on the Watchmen bonus content? All that downloaded for me was a trailer for The End is Nigh, which, correct me if I'm wrong, is an XBLA game coming out....tomorrow...that will have a free trial available.

That special RE console does look pretty slick, and actually like a reasonably good deal as well.

Seeing as how I would have paid to see the movie anyways, free points for me!

THANKS! Since I had a $5 Reward Zone card I was planning on grabbing a 1600 point card. This sweetened the deal quite a bit!

Not only is that not an XBLA deal, this isn't even the XBLA thread. ;)

I put that in the NG2 thread where the people that <s>cry about</s> play it are.

Picked up a new headset, $19.99, and got the free movie passes. Thanks for the heads up.

There's a demo up for the new Riddick game we've all been waiting for, but you can't download it after you select it. Don't know what the story is there.

The Riddick demo showed up on the website as being like 638 megs. Didn't someone say it was over a gig?

Limited-time Xbox Live Gold price cut for Silver subcribers
by Randy Nelson { Mar 4th 2009 at 4:56PM }

Microsoft is offering a $10 discount off Xbox Live Gold subscriptions to those currently set up with free Silver accounts. Ads for $39.99/year Gold accounts have popped up on Xbox.com and within the Xbox 360 interface, causing some confusion as to whether this is a permanent price drop.

Contacted for comment, Microsoft told us that it is "currently running a promotion in-dash that gives Silver members a special opportunity to upgrade to the full benefits of Gold membership at a reduced price for a limited time." Specifically, it's being extended to all current and new Silver accounts, redeemable via the 360's dash and on Xbox.com, and ... doesn't have a set end date, according to MS. But it is time-limited. (Love those invisible time limits!)

Some retailers, including Amazon.com, are offering physical 12-month -- actually, 13-month -- account cards for the same $39.99 price. When asked, Microsoft said that this is no indication of a planned permanent price drop for yearly subscriptions. Sony's PSN crew just smiled.

[Thanks, Will!]

:lol: It's still cheaper on Amazon since you get the +1 bonus month.

But I bet the majority of XBox Live Silver members have no clue about the Amazon deal and many of them will jump at this deal. You know, clueless parents who want to shut their kids up! ;)

By the way, this may be one of the greatest days for demos we've had in a long time. 3 new games that I actually have interest in, plus the Watchmen arcade game.

It's the most I've ever had in my download queue.

No doubt. It sucked to upgrade but it is hella nicer now.

I haven't sold my cable on Ebay yet but some folks said they got $50+ for their cable and disc.

I sold my blanked 20 gig HDD on Amazon for 35$ so that recouped a bit of the expense of the upgrade.

I sold both of mine (1 opened/1 unopened) for over $40 ea on EBay. It is amazing how much some people will pay for these things.

I had no plans to sell mine, but I guess I'll never need it again. Might have to let it go.

About the Watchmen tickets from the Best Buy promotion, do you get actual coupons when you buy the Xbox Live points/months, or do you get a coupon code you have to redeem online and then print from home?

I put in my code for the watchmen content and only got a trailer for the game. Tell me that wasn't the exclusive content I entered a crappy code for.
