Bought the new hunting game. I like it a lot more then he other one but seems impossible to get 100% on some of those mini games. Especially the dove and duck ones. Only got 100% on the cow pie and bottle one. Got close with the frog and gopher one a few times but always miss one or two.

so, is angry birds star wars for just windows phone 8 or 7 get chewbacca goodness too?

Not that I care that much, but it is intriguing

Supposedly it will be on WP8 but we'll see. Anyone remember when sonic CD and sonic 4 episode 2 were supposed to be on WP7?

the new windows phones look amazing. hopefully they give sprint some love too. i really don't want to switch providers, and i get a nice discount from sprint with my employer.

It's actually Sprint that needs to give WP8 some love. But there have been rumors of at least one WP8 phone coming to Sprint sometime next year.

Gonna try out Pirates! tonight to see if I want it. Here's hoping the DotW pops up early today!!!

Don't get your hopes up too high...

Earthworm Jim is the Deal of the Week

The much better news:

The Lumia 920 launches at AT & T for $99 this Friday

Once again, this begs the question: why the heck is anyone on Sprint instead of AT & T?

For some reason I can't get the demo to install on my phone.

Earthworm Jim, yuck! I wouldn't pay more than $0.99 for that. But it's the first crappy DotW we've had in a while, so it's OK.

I still think Sprint is the cheapest service provider by a wide margin. Their phones just suck.

Also, any word on whether the DoDonpachi price drop is a sale or not? I also saw that they pushed out an update for it.

Sure, but is saving $10 or $15 a month worth not having access to the phone you want, which would likely be cheaper at AT & T even if they did both offer it? These things sell for $600 off-contract, after all.

Checking with MS on the Dodonpachi question, but no answer yet.

We have a post on this week's Xbox Live release coming up. If I'm away when it goes live, please post it here for me, good buddy.

Eastx, any news on Ativ-S on-contract pricing at AT&T?

If not, care to give us an educated guess ?

It's definitely a give and take situation. If I wasn't part of a 5 person family plan I might be more likely to move to AT&T as well. Thanks for checking on DoDonpachi, maybe I should just buy it considering it's $11.99 on iOS and since this week's DotW is so lame.

Has anything been done with the load times for Pirates since it was released? It was one of my favorite games from back in the day, but the long load times on WP were a deal breaker for me especially considering the amount of times you have to switch back and forth between game modes and mini games.

I cannot decide if I want Pirates or not. It appears to be fun, but I have a long list of games already and may not get to it soon. Is it a must buy??

I did buy DonDonpachi when it dropped. Only because I don't think we will see it cheaper for a while and it is fun. Plus I need some variety.

Earthworm is that bad?! Sheesh. I suppose I won't even bother to trial.

Speaking on Sprint, that is what I am currently stuck on until at least March/April. My only other choice due to coverage is Verizon and I may switch if Sprint is still sucking when March hits. I love the HTC 8x, NICE phone! If I was to pick it would between the 8x or the Lumia 920.

That is fantastic news! Our contract doesn't expire until June next year so hopefully by then the phone will be free!

I found Earthworm Jim's controls to be awful. It is dated and honestly doesn't even have the best controls on XBLA, and it's a tough game. So the touch screen controls just make it that much more difficult and frustrating. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone except those with nostalgia glasses for the game.

Think Ill buy a 920

Ok, so my wife is really interested in getting a WP8. She currently has an iPhone and I know obviously she won't be able to do anything with the apps she bought on iTunes but what about the music? Personally I have never really used iTunes so I don't really know a whole lot about it, but does anyone have any experience with putting iTunes music on a windows phone? It's my understanding that it is somewhat hard to get the music out if you want to put it on a non-apple device.

Also, forgive my ignorance on this, but do the new WP8 still sync with Zune and can you have multiple accounts, one for each phone?

I'm used to being the odd man out, owning a WP when all my friends have iPhone or android, and owning an Xbox while all my friends have a PS3. The thought of having my wife on the same platform is something I never really considered, but exciting.

Thanks in advance for the answers!

There is an app for apple computers (imacs, macbooks, etc.) that lets you connect your Windows Phone and sync your music and all from itunes. It's called "windows phone" and I use it on my iMac for my Samsung Focus.

So then I imagine there is probably a similar program available for PC. We don't own any Apple computers.

don't know, he mentioned having an iphone 4 so that was what I was responding to and referring to as well.
