So how does this work, sounds like it could be neat.

[CYRiX]

everytime something new comes up in xblm you'll be sent a message telling you what it is, a quick description, and the price.

[kensterdotnet]

Is this bot going to be you?

I've got a setup I'm going to try to use where it will be automated, otherwise it'll be me.

[kensterdotnet]

Added and thanks for your contributions to the community :)

Can't you only have like 99 people on your list or some shit?

[CYRiX]

if enough ppl add me i'll make more gt's xblm newsbot1, xblm news bot2, etc.

[Scorch]

if enough ppl add me i'll make more gt's xblm newsbot1, xblm news bot2, etc.

but why? it's not worth it

[JimmieMac]

But what do you get out of this? The joy of doing it? There's gotta be a reason besides "I want everyone playing their 360 to know the SECOND shit goes down". What is it that drives you?

OR you could check www.majornelson.com (http://www.majornelson.com) on a regular basis

or LinkinPrime's monthly XBLM thread that is always stickied up there with all the latest info.

[magiic]

maybe he is trying to gain face after about 30 people ripped him a new over his complaint about his speeding ticket

[radjago]

Any chance this could be a messenger bot instead?

[CYRiX]

I'm doing it test out a program.

[CYRiX]

plus some of my friends want me to do it and there paying me so :D

[Z-Saber]

Added just to see how this goes.

[Vulcan2422]

Sounds Cool! Gonna add ya! You should also put in ALL the Free stuff thats going down. Themes, Movies, Videos and stuff!

[Logg]

Liking Prime anit shit

[CYRiX]

Alright heres the current layout I use to post the new content:
Date ~ GameTitle (Content:Price), GameTitle (Content:Price, Content:Price)

Like? Dislike? Any other ideas on how I should do this?

[ryanbph]

i signed up to see how it goes

[ryanbph]

I really wouldn't care about the date...the price, the format (ie theme,gamerpic,demo) and then the title is good for me :)

[ananag112]

Don't you need Xbox Live Gold to send messages?

[CYRiX]

usb keyboard :D, anyways unless people wanted to donate money for a gold account I think I'll just keeping typing it in on a usb keyboard. Also I'm not sure if you can mass message on xbox.com

EDIT: Hot damn you can mass message on xbox.com

[elsnow77]

i like this thing, its pretty convenient. It told me about that one racing game demo that i wasn't aware of.

[CYRiX]

just posted todays content

[Graystone]

plus some of my friends want me to do it and there paying me so :D

:spam:

[lilboo]

I signed up, however... how many are you gonna do a day? I really don't want to come on everyday and there be like 10 msgs waiting..

[PyroGamer]

As long as you just give us one round-up per day (basically the Major Nelson roundup), I'm happy with this.

I added you.

[greyzieoriental]

tagged

[CYRiX]

spam? well I'm goin to post around 4-6 so hopefully they don't add much more content after that, and there good about not making more than 2 posts on new content.

oh yeah I'm going to be on vacation, be back saturday (sorry), dont worry its going to be the only time ill be on vacation until next summer (IF I go on vacation next summer).

[Z-Saber]

So far, it's pretty decent. Now, I usually check the entire Marketplace every time I get on anyway, but I'll assume for now that you check it thoroughly enough so when you do message me, I'll save a few minutes here and there.

[CYRiX]

Alright I'm back from vacation and will resume posting new content info

[GizmoGC]

Hurray! Ive had you on my pending list forever.

[help1]

WT....F. Why would you want to do this if its you actually typing it out?

[CYRiX]

usb keyboard my friend

[help1]

usb keyboard my friend

What do you do on a keyboard? You type!

Also, you can mass message on XBOX.com, just hold control while selecting all the names and then click add.

[CYRiX]

that would require money out of my pocket

[help1]

that would require money out of my pocket

Oh, only gold can do that?

[CYRiX]

yah only gold can do that

[M1C13]

or you could use messenger instead of xbox live, and send it that way to people that have MSN on their 360. I would much rather get it that way.

With Major Nelsons RSS you could probably automate this just have it download any new posts and then send a message to all in MSN. I might be able to set this up on my mac.

[CYRiX]

when you send a message it acts like your have an im conversationg though and popups and you can't save it.

ok, so right now you do all this on the 360, and then select all and send?


EDIT: and did you say you didn't have a gold account because as far as I understood you need that to message anyone.

[CYRiX]

yup

and gold account lets you send messages on xbox.com

[velvet396]

have been getting my messages regularly now, thanks 'bot'! :)

[ryanbph]

edit: oops

[CYRiX]

thanks ryanbph and velvet396

[CYRiX]

check your dashboards...

[CYRiX]

check them again

[CYRiX]

and again

[PyroGamer]

I'd rather you just send these things out perhaps bi-weekly. A bit too much clutter in my inbox with this daily stuff.

Though I definitey totally appreciate it, I don't like checking the marketplace all the time, and this has made me aware of some stuff I'd otherwise miss.


I wonder why XBLM doesn't have a page with Major Nelson's updates right in the marketplace.

[CYRiX]

Alright I'll just do 2 a week or 3 if theres a lot,sometimes theres so much new stuff I actually have to shorthand some stuff so it fits into one message.

[triforcer]

good idea, for some reason i thought you were signing up for gold accounts to do this.

[greyzieoriental]

thanks for the add, really appreciate the service
