No tango here, and had achievement issues. my 3ds is getting alot more playing time since this issue developed.

I hate to bitch, but I am irritated with recent issues coupled with high pricing and no deals. I want to assume this changes, and I hope so if they want their marketplace to be competitive

I'm with you. I hate to sound like a whiner, but I have to admit I'm very frustrated with Xbox Live on WP at the moment. Probably because it finally started feeling like they were making progress on competitive pricing, and all of a sudden have taken a huge step backwards in the last 2 weeks.

Yea these issues are very frustrating, I didn't realize this achievement issue was happening on multiple games until checking the thread today and the one over on x360a. With the lack of deals the past couple of weeks I haven't been playing much on my phone and this achievement sync issue with definitely keep me away until it is fixed.

eastx, thanks for trying to get an answer from microsoft on what is going on. I'm surprised that the achievement sites haven't made a bigger deal about it since I'd guess that a sizable amount of achievement whores have picked up windows phones.

well i spoke too soon. The beat Sally's Salon on hard achievement showed it unlocked in game but never got posted to my gamercard. Really dont want to play through every level on hard again. Actually I'd probably have to play thru the levels on normal and hard because you dont have Hard unlocked at the beginning.............

Yet the Survival achievements unlocked fine.

echo.................echo.........

anyone know the new game for this week?

yes, I agree. I have not felt frustrated before, and defend the platform. I just hope this is a short, temporary, setback with pricing and issues.

lol, I think it is the shoot1up.

Btw-my achievements from my games are now showing on my gamercard without having to load the titles up. Showed up yesterday

I haven't had any achievement issues yet... but I agree the pricing needs to be a little more competitive. With a lot of the games they seem to be taking the "portable XBLA" approach rather than the "mobile phone" one that they need to be. If they want a "portable XBLA" and price accordingly they just need to realize their own true portable.

Things should get interesting though because I had to send in my Lumia 900 for a new one. I was having a lot of issues and couldn't tell which ones were ATT and which ones were the phone (like the GPS barely working, then stopping altogether).

Still no DOTW? Colour me concerned.

Same here. :( I'm really missing the DotW!

I have a feeling the dotw will be MIA until wp8. Just a hunch since it mysteriously disappeared. I would be ok with the lack of dotw if titles were released at competitive prices (like jksonic mentioned). I so would rather buy any game on my wp over my ios devices. I have hope, ms mentioned months ago competitive pricing is a goal of theirs.

On topic, shoot1up, anyone buy? it was up early for a moment, but appears like it is unavailable again for some reason.

Maybe good news?

Weird that he doesn't have a LinkedIn profile. But I contacted him anyway.

Also, I made a long overdue update to the first two posts of the thread. If you guys catch any mistakes, please let me know.

Both super minor, but the last 3 newest releases (Shoot1up, Sallys Spa, and Little Acorns) you have priced at $3, but everything you have listed at $2.99. I'm OCD for consistency haha.

Also in the 2nd post, you need to update Fling's price to $2.99.

I am taking a wild guess in saying next weeks release will be Galaga legions DX.

Well, we have had puzzles several times in a row.

I looked at achievement lists after the post and galaga legions is the only game non-released with achievement list released. Just maybe onto something. If it is not galaga what would be the next guess?

I really really want to like Shoot1Up, but it's just so dang hard and the touch controls for a bullethell game add to that difficulty. I have the hardest time tapping my ship within a swarm of bullets. The game is well made, but it's just out of my difficulty scale.

I have the same feelings about Chickens Can't Fly: Really like the way the game is made, but way too challenging for me.

Sad that DOTW is gone possibly for good. I guess MS wins and I'll go back to paying full price for games I was putting off buying while waiting for a sale.
