Yeah, specially after this update "Preview". The people that were going to be at 10 am, or whenever the upgrade is released, already signed for the Preview Program and already have the patch.

But yeah, we are talking about Live here.

There you go with your anti-Microsoft bias again.

Major Nelson's tweet:

Splosion Man is supposed to. Not sure if it's actually working yet or if the game needs to be patched first.

They did say there'd be a patch for 'Splosion Man. I should fire that up today and see what's what.

I believe Twisted Pixel also said that if you already met the requirements of the Rewards then you would get the rewards after the update is applied. How that'll work out is yet to be seen.

You should mosey your ass out of your office and go do that, right about now.

Overall the new update seems to run smoother, i can load my friend's avatars faster instead of waiting 45 seconds for all of them to load.

I am getting a kick out of all the avatar props now, though. I still can't see myself spending $5 on a lightsaber or $2 on pom-poms (no matter how awesome they are )

More news from across the pond, so don't shoot the messenger: http://www.computerandvideogames.com....php?id=221159

Microsoft has passed over word that the latest Xbox Live Deal of the Week will be non-other than Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned. The original price for the GTA IV add-on was 1600 MS points but for next week only you can grab it for 1200, making a not-that-massive saving of 400 points if our GCSE in maths is still worth anything.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest

If you have a prop does it show up in things like 1 vs. 100? Or does it show up in Kingdom for Kelflings?

I think our resident podcaster should test this for us.... Superfro.

It allows people with too much money on their hands to alleviate that problem.
