Sorry if this has already been answered and I missed it, but does the Games on Demand version of GTA V still have problems with textures & pop-in? I've got a pile of MS points that I got super cheap and I was thnking of returning my unopened copy from Black Friday, but the stuff I've read about...

Thanks!

Is the most recent used blu-ray sale (5@$9.99 or less for $20) still going?

Ah, I didn't know that - I only sell on eBay. That sounds like another reason to avaoid selling on Amazon.

They're only asking for this information if you cross the 200 sales/$20,000 in payments per year threshold; as everyone should know by now, eBay has to report earnings above $20k to the IRS starting this year. I sell small amounts on eBay and haven't been asked for a tax ID or SSN, nor has...

Maybe not...I just walked into a local BBV yesterday to find out that they will be closing, and they were already pulling movies from the shelves. One employee was behind the counter doing nothing but running discs through a shredder. I know that they're obliged to do so, but it's an awful waste.

So, I'm tempted to buy Carcassonne at the last minute - but does anyone know if the game still gets some action on Live? I'd hate to buy yet another game that turns out to be essentially dead.

No it didn't - 5.5 million is the shipped number. That's quite a bit different.

Whoops, that didn't go so well. Judge Bars ‘Fair Use’ Defense in Xbox Modding Trial Also, the Gamesradar article completely misquotes their source article. The judge hadn't ruled on anything yet, they somehow managed to mistake a quote from the defense attorney as a judicial ruling. Here is...

The only achievement I've got left in this game is Seriously 2.0, but I don't know if I can handle hours and hours of doing the Brumak sequence...I'm only at 41k currently. :drool:
