Another Tom Clancy sale next week? meh

Man these deals suck it,you dont,have bf3 or have aby clancy games (myself). I hope the other games arent this month's price drops, cause i dont like any of them. Atleast i dont,have to spend money on points for a couple of weeks. On a totally unrealted note (sorry joey) how bout that black ops 2 and the setting of the game being in the future?

Anyone have a link on how to make a Japanese account? A Dead Island DotW is looking pretty good right now.

Nin2-Jump was really cool, I enjoyed it. I bought it right when it came out because (supposedly) the first month of sales were gonna be donated to the Red Cross for Japan.

Anyway, the game is well worth 200. I mean, it's just a simple short platformer, but the art style was interesting and I enjoyed it. Easy 200/200 GS as well, if I remember correctly.

I do remember reading there was a bug that would corrupt or delete saved data, so maybe read up on that before you start playing.

Nothing this week for me, but nice to see some Arcade games on sale. Wish it was Ikagura on sale, wasn't Guwange just on sale???

Nice, this will go well with that sale copy of BF3 I got yesterday.

I think Braid is amazing and still my favorite XBLA game, but to be honest I didn't read it all either. It was really rough on video games, and praised Jon Blow just a bit too much.

Originally Posted by airco I'm not sure what to tell you, but if you read the link I posted, the guide said to disconnect the Xbox from the internet once the download hit 99% and download the last 1% through VPN, otherwise the Xbox won't let the download finish. Are you sure you don't have a way of connecting your Xbox to the internet through your PC (i.e. Xbox -> PC -> router)? On the other hand, if you're already downloading it, does that mean you already bought it? Try checking your Storage, as the game might actually be on your HD, but your console is denying you access to it.

I need to dig around when I get home tonight and see if I have any network cards. I realized that may have been the issue after I gave up for the night last night. Everything runs through the router and I only have the one ethernet port on my PC atm.

I was able to purchase the game by buying it on my PC through a Chinese proxy. The file corrupts at 99% when downloading on my Xbox saying "Can't download Virtual On". Worst case scenario I'm going to have to haul my Xbox to my brother's house and try from his wife's laptop.

I'm going to get this freaking game if it kills me! I'm in for disappointment with it it seems-didn't know they slowed down the combat to accommodate 4 players. Hopefully it isn't too slow as I really love the high intesity single player from past versions.

Nothing for me this week in either DotW. Knew that was coming. Tried not to get my hopes up but it happened anyway. Also bought Nin-2Jump during the 5% rebate. 180 point gamble and loss. Not too terrible.

Oh and I would HIGHLY recommend VOOT. But then that should be pretty obvious by how much I'm working just to get VOF. :P

Pictureka, Connect 4X4, and Jenga.

Well, decided to bite and get Nin2-Jump, since I'd have 200 spare points after buying VOOT and Guwange anyway. The upcoming DotWs seem kinda lame, but I'd say these games make up for it. Heck, I thought they were the DotW.

I know there was a tutorial that used to get posted in the free forum a lot when Japan had exclusive free items. I don't have a link but you could try looking there.

You shouldn't need it though. Use Google Chrome which has built in translation and if you need to put in an address just search for a random one on Google.

Finally bought Nin2 Jump!

I'd recommend following a tutorial like this one. You do need to know a few specific steps.

So an add on for a not commercially available in the US game is a Deal of the Week... yeah...

Did grab the two games that had previously not been on sale (and/or I didn't own) in Haunt and Nin2-Jump.

Yes, it is. The first retail disc included Yahtzee, Connect 4, Sorry, Sorry Sliders, Scrabble, Battleship, Boggle.

Battlefield is not commercially available in the US?

Well for scrabble this is only true for US people, Scrabble isn't included anywhere else sadly =/

Bummer about next week's deals.

Microsoft does way too many of these "war FPS" deals.

It is region free though.

Just from looking at the Nin2-Jump screens, is it anything like Super Meat Boy? As in short, digestible platform levels? 'Cause I love SMB and will jump on this (no pun intended) if that's the case.

Crap. I added 800 points to my Japanese account before I realized the Mushihimesama Futari DLC deal is for Gold members only. I could start a new Japanese account for a month of gold, but I'd have to buy another 800 points code. :(

Yes, that's what it's like. It's got a reputation for being extremely easy but I found it kind of tough. Maybe it was more that I had trouble getting my head around the controls.
