[quote name='lilboo']I'm going to ask a retarded question, so I apologize in advance.
I've kinda been interested in Oblivion for a while now..but never seemed to getting around to getting it. Clearly if I ever bought it now, I'd buy the GOTY edition since that comes with the DLC (..right?). Would it still work if I downloaded the free content NOW and just.. let it sit there until the day I get Oblivion?[/quote]
Oblivion GotY only has Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles, not horse armor, Mehrune's Razor, etc.
 
Where the fuck can you find what these gamer pics and themes look like? The official site hasn't been updated in a good while it seems. :bomb:
 
I just realized my daughter accidently downloaded some Oblivion expansion for 150 points (Vile Lair)....sometimes my wife lets her play with the controller because it lights up and fascinates her (she is just turning 1). I wonder how she got to the download page, it must have been on a main page or something. The REAL bummer is, I don't even own Oblivion anymore. It would've been cooler is she downloaded some random XBLA game...oh well, not a big deal, only points, not the end of the world, I just found it amusing. (Glad I still have 6600+ points in my account).

I guess I should DISABLE Auto Sign In. Although, she might sign in with a few button presses. Oh well, preventative measures :)
 
[quote name='Brak']Are those South Park gamerpictures any good?[/quote]

Those are previewed on the marplace. From what it looks like its just Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman...basically headshots with snowy Southpark as the backdrop. They're OK, but they're expensive at 100pts if its only just those 4.
 
I'm buying E4, loved teh demo. Also, probably getting Leumines now that it is at a deceint price.

I can't get enough of those Q? puzzle games I guess.

I saw someone mention that on Major Nelson's blog the other day, but that was the only time I saw it mentioned.

When it comes out, Hudson will likely promote it a little bit

I guess. But you could always just get your characters to level 99 in the normal mode, get all your achievements, and you'd have no problem in ultra-hard mode.
 
I read from kotaku, major nelson and gamefaqs that the blue dragon stuff are 200 not 400, didnt have time to check the marketplace yet, so if anyone want to confirm..
 
Infinite Discovery!? That makes too much sense, I think you meant Infinite Undiscovery. :lol:

And the Oblivion content was free for only a week, hence why I downloaded it even though I don't have the game. You have to jump on that free stuff quick.
 
The Scene It demo is pretty cool! This is def a game I'd consider getting and just.. holding it for those days when people come over. (Though, that IS why I have a Wii too, :lol: )

That guilty gear demo is actually pretty cool. Takes a minute to figure out the controls but I liked it once I got the hang of it.
 
The GG2 demo felt a little slow to me. Maybe it's just cause it's Sol (I typically play Jam/Chipp, the faster characters), but it seemed like a good base. I'd like to see what the hell was going on with the Mana base capturing game-type (the second option on the main menu).
 
There's a free Halloween theme and pics. It says its only available today. The only way to get it is if you click on the banners. The big box will get you to the theme and the little box will get you the gamerpics. Not sure why this was done this way but I just found it out:

1031071856aax1.jpg

1031071859aug3.jpg

1031071900amn4.jpg
 
I am actually really mad, and I should be ashamed to admit to this.

Ya see. I'm one of "THOSE PEOPLE" who like to be festive with holidays. For example, I'd give my AIM theme/icon an Halloween theme. My Myspace would be Halloween. Those stupid things.

I would of loved to have this all month! I just downloaded the Free Halloween theme NOW at 10:30pm (EST)..and I must say I actually like it. It's not really obnoxious or anything. It's pretty neat actually. I know I can still use it after today..lol but I'm too OCD to have myself all ready for Halloween... in November.

UGH. Damn you Microsoft. If you are going to give us Christmas stuff.. PLEASE GIVE IT TO US A FEW WEEKS IN ADVANCE!!
 
Would it kill them to keep it up a few more days? I want the creepy cat :(
Oh well, the connection is terrible in the basement, need a new router.
