fWIW, I ordered a Live code and an iTunes code on the same order; got the Live, iTunes is still processing.

Same here; this game is more in-line with what I was hoping for from the first. Still the occasional frustrating level, but the addition of adjectives made the whole thing feel much more open (At one point I created an awesome magical professor, who proceeded to screw me out of victory by...

Edit: er, beaten while I was writing this, nevermind. I remember the controversy, but the levels actually started at 200 MSP each, so the DLC amounted to something approaching $20 at launch. I'm just not entirely sure when they went from 200 points to 80 so I'm not sure if that drop just...

It looks like the Beautiful Katamari DLC levels have dropped to 80 MSP-- http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024e4d07dc/?of=0&bt=0&sb=1&p=2 --is this new, or an old drop? Ton of picture packs have dropped in price, too.

This is unbelievably disturbing. The ECA, right here, is indicating an unbelievably irresponsible approach to handling confidential member credit card information. The server in question apparently exists to facilitate financial transactions and is not a simple membership list that they're...

Got a copy of Frequency for the PS2 in the past week or so; while it'd definitely been opened in the past I could only tell because part of the label that goes on the top was still stuck to the case. Otherwise, sealed in Y-fold cellophane, game and manual in perfect condition (I was surprised by...

I'd been holding off on a final chipin for payday, only to get home and find CAG actually managed to beat its goal already. Not that it stopped me from a final contribution (anybody who's had a family member with severe long-term illness has to know that disturbing medical aspects aside, the...

When did the Target.com ECA card review disappear? I'd submitted one over the weekend, and periodically checked back to see if it'd gone public, but I never saw it go 'live' and the one that had is now gone. The Amazon ones are still up, but it's weird that Target is back to zero reviews. There...

So, okay. We're theorizing that people found the GI code, realized they could get subscriptions for free, realized that they could open multiple accounts, didn't realize that they could open multiple accounts simultaneously, and didn't realize there were exploits available. This small handful...

I'd have been more impressed if the whole thing didn't read like "How to give a good interview when you have 100% control over all questions asked." It's the same party line, the same obvious lies (A "very small number" of people calling to cancel and reopen an account repeatedly to exploit...

The organization I paid $20 to support was one that claimed consumer advocacy, and backed this stance up with both a fairly convenient account cancellation policy and a readily available opt-out of autorenewal. Their stated goals were fine, and while they had not yet done a hell of a lot to...

See, in light of the recent misinformation coming from the ECA, I'm now extremely skeptical about this part of the Amazon code thing. Amazon obviously has a framework in place that allows them to tie certain discounts to individual accounts; see: Amazon Prime. I've always found it hard to...

Is she not on their payroll, then? She still appears on the "About Us" page, credited as the writer of theeca.1up.com, which has apparently been replaced with a Facebook group. That does make it appear like she might be an official part of the organization; this also isn't the first time she's...

Gypsyfly as an ECA Representetive is pretty deserving of current and, I think, future flack if for no other reason than the pretty slimy attempt to stuff the ECA forum full of yes-man puppets from PMS. That was a move made using positions in two organizations, and a pretty blatant abuse of...

Assuming they were talking about GI code abuse, they could have avoided the whole thing by making it harder for people to sign up again, not to cancel. They required a CC on file for even free accounts; make registration refuse to apply the code on a credit card used to create an account in the...
