Well yeah last gen I think it was acceptable for companies not to be expect any type of patch process on consoles. But now this gen Sony and Steams allows for unlimited and quicker patch processes (notice how sometimes PS3 users get a patch a few days, sometimes weeks earlier) where as Microsoft take's their sweet time getting around to certifying patches and also charges after the first one. Steam nor Sony do that so Micosoft just needs to be more fair.

I'm more interested how the Wii U works with updates because when a Wii game was bugged you were pretty much SOL.

But I'd like the next iteration of the DS to allow for patching as well. Look at the 999 sequel that has game breaking bugs that could have been saved with a god patch.

Let's face it, the developers bug testing skills are not what It use to be.

Already have the AC DLC, other than that nothing else interests me. Hope the DoTW for GOLD is better.

i couldnt have put that any better...

the sad thing is, 50% of gamers would probably give their firstborn to be a professional game tester for a major company for minimum wage and no benefits...

Where ya Crapcom? I need a job damnit...

DotW for Gold is the Deadliest Warrior franchise... a hit for some but a miss for most.

I enjoy the hell out of them, but i hate that the loading times for matches are sometimes longer than the matches themselves.

Sales & Specials+ app:

Daytona USA - 400msp (was 800)
Space Channel 5 Part 2 - 400msp (was 800)
Sega Vintage Collection: Streets of Rage - 400msp (was 800)

Chain Reaction - Batman Arkham City

If i remember right, the sales and specials app games were all on sale recently

Yep. Everyone conveniently forgets this. Microsoft dropped the ball on QA with the patch. That's a big part of what they're paying the money for.

Also, companies make decisions like these all the time. They realize "we're not going to make back in additional sales what we will lose by paying for another patch." He just said it out loud.

Yeah it is that price, just checked.
Australia also gets it cheaper than America at 640 msp.

Well... my choices for my 1200 MSP before i lose internet are either

GTA:SA
OR
Double Dragon: Neon and Sonic Fighters...

or anything else you guys can recommend, my ears are open and my will is ready to bend

Are they actually cheaper? Because both Euro and AUD is strong currency compared to USD so 100 MS point in EU and Aussie is more value than 100 points in USA.

Am I right? Everything on sale are just axed for 33% or 50% on their current market price.

PS: wao, a lot of Ubisoft titles this week. head up for SC conviction and AC DLC

this is gonna be my last inquiry for a while... what do you guys consider the best single player experience on XBLA? I think that will help me spend these points wisely

So for chain reaction I need to buy bane's mask to buy robin's dlc right?
