Fuck that. Call them, ask to speak to a CS for digital sales. They're well aware of the problem and pulled the games later in the day. They issued me a refund right away and they'll do the same to you. It's way too easy to deny requests by email. Click the Contact Me By Phone button at Amazon's Help site and you'll be talking to a rep in a couple of minutes.

I played Winterbottom some more tonight and didn't even realize an hour had gone by when I checked the clock for the first time. Some of the stuff you have to do is tricky, like record yourself falling at the correct angle to get the pie.
The time challenges are nuts, but the reel challenges are pretty easy. It's easily worth 800 pts IMO.

I played part of the Winterbottom demo and liked it as well, but not enough to buy it right now. Too many other games waiting to be played. It seemed very Braid-ish to me.

If ever a game needed to be expanded and put on XBLA...

That is how it works, but the question is: can you still unlock access? The Amazon code fiasco says no.

Looks like Perfect Dark XBLA will bring in a whole bunch of Goldeneye 007 stuff:
n March, an hi-def port of Perfect Dark will be released on Xbox LIVE Arcade. The port will feature much more than tarted up graphics.
Ken Lobb from Microsoft Game Studios has told Kotaku that players can use weapons from Nintendo 64 game GoldenEye 007. That game was developed by Rare, the same studio behind Perfect Dark, which has been called GoldenEye's "spiritual successor". GoldenEye 007-style weapons were also unlockable in Perfect Dark, but with slightly different names.
Lobb also confirmed to Kotaku that the upcoming Perfect Dark port will feature GoldenEye levels in the multiplayer.
Felicity, Temple and Complex, the GoldenEye levels that were in the original Perfect Dark have made the jump to the XBLA version as well.

That being said, is Perfect Dark Zero worth seeking out and playing for $5-$10? I avoided it because some people said it was awful. How does it stack up against the original though in terms of gameplay and story?

I didn't care for PDZ all that much, very generic shooter. You may get $5 of enjoyment out of it, though. As an XBLA title it would be hailed

Looks like Duke Nukem 3D will be the next deal of the week for 400 points; 50% off the normal price.
I was ready to pull the trigger on this one today and blindly stumbled across the info.

I'm sure the game is getting over-hyped by Goldeneye fans from the N64 days, but at the same time, this looks pretty fun and there's NO WAY this game won't be worth at least the paltry 800 points they're asking. This is an insta-buy for me. Expect it to be on sale for 400 points by mid-July.

Since it's been playable from the first day the 360 debuted and until this April, and since it's been on demand since the launch of that program, I don't imagine there's really that a big demand for that particular title in HD.

Only problem with the remake is the dialogue was censored in places.

XBLM Deal of the week:
I'm seriously considering picking this up. Since Doom II is still MIA after it was announced last March at GDC, if I recall correctly, I'm feeling the need for a nice old school FPS fix.
On MN's show, they also said that Battleship (Family Game Night) would be 50% off.
Duke Nukem 3D, 400
(50% off), 85MB

Oh for anybody is curious to my Paperboy incident last week, I did finally get a promotional credit of $5 on my account. Had to finally call because they were content on bouncing me around email after email until I did something more to the point. Lesson learned I suppose.

I'd venture on the side of no. Others can correct me if I'm wrong, but it downloads a small access file when you confirm your purchase. My guess is that they would take that away once they delisted it. *sigh*, off to play my copy of Midway Arcade Classics for PS2. Silly achievements.




Dammit, how are any of us supposed to get a deal if you don't take one for the team?
Agreed.
