Easy 400G you say? I'm tempted. Oh so tempted. The fact that they're only 400 makes it an even harder deal to resist.

When accessing the "Sales & Specials App" on the console to play the daily "non-winning" scratch off.....afterwards when you try to go back to the home page, does anyone else's Xbox freeze up like mine does ? It doesn't happen everytime, but it's been a constant thing I've dealt with since this app hit the console.
Would've been nice if it's a known issue, if MS would have addressed it.

Thank Gamers.

It's happened to me a couple times. That App has been slow and buggy from day one. On the other hand, I won a free alien mask for my doll avatar using that App. So there's that.

Is Burnout Crash any good? I read some reviews and they all said the game play is solid but the in game sounds are really annoying.

Is it too late to get the "sales and specials" app?

It currently not in the home area of my dashboard nor anywhere else on the dashboard. Also wasn't in the apss area when I tried searching for it.

In this video it is located near the bottom right of the home area

but for me it shows "Free Gold Weekend" in its place.

The S&S app has always had issues for me too. Although it has only completely locked up a few time it ALWAYS takes FOREVER to enter and exit it. Sometimes I don't even bother using it for the scratch and match because it's so slow. I suppose I would have more incentive if I had won something by now. Oh well, it is free and sometimes you get what you pay for.

Love how Konami releases Silent Hill HD Collection for GoD while they publicly acknowledged the game having some severe issues and won't patch it. Arrogance at It's finest.

I think if you just browse games in the marketplace its under 'most downloaded' or something. 99% sure i've seen it there a few times.

Does anyone else think VF2 is impossibly hard? I remember when i was about 10 and a local arcade got it. I probably spent 1000$ in quarters just on that game. I never ONCE got passed stage 5 (Lion). I tried CONSTANTLY. I was practically traumatized. I played it so much it eventuelly overheated and broke. I hadn't played since then. So here i am, years later, thinking this is it. It's on XBL. I'm going to have my revenge for the years of torture this game gave me. I get to stage 5, and i STILL can't ing beat him. I hate my life. This game owns me.

I know it's a few days before the Deadliest Warrior is the DOTW, but I just wanted to say thanks again Monsta Mack for posting this deal.....I received my copy this afternoon, and have had quite a good time thus far playing it. Of course it takes a moment to get used to the play, feel of the controls and the LONG loading screens after each match. But with everything that comes with purchasing this disc version, I feel like I really got a bargain when it was $6.99 w/ no tax (I live in AZ) & free 2-day shipping with my month free of "PRIME".
It's gone up a bit now to $9.77, (which is the cheapest at the moment), from one seller where Amazon fulfills the order, but even getting it at that current price is a better deal than next week's offer of buying everything separately.

*Also note if you decide to purchase this disc version, it will load up and divert you back to your library of games, and you have to launch each Deadliest Warrior & Legends from there. (kinda like Namco Museum Arcade for those that have that.) Yes, a pain, but for grabbing it at $6.99 when I did, I can cope with the process of actually starting the game, and then the load times between matches.

*The DLCs for both games are automatically loaded/registered when you start each game. (They are on the disc, no code to input). Also comes with a bonus dvd with 6 full episodes of Deadliest Warrior.

what are the issues with silent hill? i thought only the ps3 version had framerate issues

You have it opposite, 360 is the bad version.

As best as I can remember, at release the PS3 version was actually worse than the Xbox version. Most review videos showed comparisons between the PS3 and 360 version, where the 360 version was performing quite a bit better.

EDIT: Here are a few sources from when the game released in March, when the consensus was that the 360 version performed significantly better than the PS3 version, and that the PS3 version of SH3 was almost unplayable due to framerate issues:

Youtube review

(6:25 and specifically 8:40)

GameFAQ forums: #1 #2 #3

And lots more that I'm not gonna post.

Soon after release they announced that the PS3 version would be getting a patch to get up to par with the 360 version. I'm not sure if this patch actually improved it beyond the 360 version. But I guess they had announced the 360 would be getting a patch too but that patch was canceled which caused a shitstorm.

I'm not trying to defend this obviously shoddy port or the defend the cancellation of an announced patch. Just want to make sure that people know that the 360 version was quite a bit better than the PS3 version at launch, and the fact that the PS3 version got a patch and the 360 version didn't doesn't mean that the PS3 version is head and shoulders better. More than likely the patch only brought the PS3 version up to par with the 360 version, or it might be a little bit better than the 360 version. The whole story about the canceled 360 patch was overblown a tad.

I'd love to see someone do a comparison between the 360 version and the patched PS3 version. If one exists, I can't seem to find it. Since every website on the internet picked up the "Konami cancels SH patch for 360" story, Google-ing it is producing totally useless results.

In short, everything. The walk speed is almost slow motion in Silent Hill 3, the unnecessary borders on key scenes, the fade in and fade out that ruins gameplay, the new dubbing in SH3, the sometimes fog appears and sometimes doesn't, it goes on for awhile.

Dogfight - any opinions?
