According to NPD:
“Xbox Live point cards and gold membership cards represented three of the top-10 accessory items for the month which sheds a little light onto the popularity of this service to Xbox 360 fans”
See this is why Sony fail. PSN cards should have been rolled out globally months ago. Sony, this is why you lose. Always too slow, too late.
Did anyone else get Motorstorm Pacific Rift fom Qore tonight?
If you did and you also played Pure. Which one do you think looks better.
For me i think Pure looked better. Motorstorm felt like they just layered stuff over the first game designs. Sony spent about $32.6 million dollars on Evolution Studios and their subsidiary Bigbig and Motorstrom 1 still looks better than two so far in my opinion.
Mostly excited about the PAIN amusement park! :D
It is sad though that you must purchase the other characters to get some of the trophies :\
@151
I’m with you… but I thinks is just the demo because if you look the new gameplay videos you can see that looks awesome… I don’t know what to think really.
when are we going to get novastrike ?? only the usa got the game ..
wow i have alot to download. motorstorm. socom 2morrow and pain update. looking forward to all of it. Thnx for everything
Awsome update! Motostorm:PR demo, Pain update, Jeopardy, and of course METTALICA coming tomorow! What’s not to like….other then the lack of PS1 games that is. :)
@thingg if we could have signatures I’d take majority of what you said. “The usual morons” you should start a blog as well I could add a few more like the usual moron who post in the same thread 8 times to say the samething or just complain. The usual moron who ask for for the millionth time. Keep them coming Thingg you could probably make a friday post every week about it I normally do about.
Love the update for wallpapers and so on. Is there a chance we will have an update to this website. It has been a long time coming maybe signatures or w/e maybe a theme changer for the blog. There can be more done with the blog interms of functionality and just random fun stuff.
Great week, SOCOM Beta, Motorstorm Demo, FIFA09!!!!
yahooo! Pain, i’ve been for this for a while now.. thanks for the update
I know this is off topic but I don’t care. There’s no place in the blog for random posts so…
I would love to hear about a MKII patch for online functionality.
I can’t stand when someone has a poor connection and makes the game extremely slow. Even if your connection is excellent it doesn’t matter, and I know there is a way to improve server side regardless of your ISP package.
Also, the online lobby is garbage. We need the ability to see who’s online instead of this waiting crap. While in game, the user’s handle should be under the power bar. The game should also utilize the friends met option of the XMB, & personal music should obviously be allowed to play. There is also a need for sound adjustment…currently its super loud, and I have to turn the volume almost completely down prior to playing. The option to use a mic is definitely a must as well.
Sometimes, when holding buttons to perform moves like Liu Kang’s bicycle kick or the ground punch from Jax for example; the character will block instead of performing the move and will not stop until you release the button. You are then forced to try again thus creating opportunity for your opponent to attack. This is a critical error in the game and can be very frustrating.
Trophy functionality should be included in all games. If you create something like that for a platform, you must realize that all games need to support the feature, not just newer ones. If you haven’t already noticed, people become enraged when they hear that a game does not support this feature. Try to remember this for the future to avoid user complications.
There are other errors, but I trust you get the point.
This is an excellent game, so I would love to see these improvements in the near future. I’m sure many users can agree and would also immensely enjoy such revisions.
Oh, and last but not least…perhaps looking into releasing MK3 (Ultimate version only) would be a good idea as well.
Sorry for interrupting your thread. Revising the interface of the Blog would probably eliminate such occurrences. Fix the Blog to include things like. Create your own thread, and an edit button. That should prevent double posting.
l8r!
thanks for all the free themes and wallpapers,
everyone should remember that the 360 actually CHARGES FOR THEMES AND WALLPAPERS AND AVATARS!!!!
i hope everyone appreciates the free stuff more, if they didn’t know about the 360 nickle and diming for every little thing..
FritoZ you serious it cost them for wallpapers and stuff? I know about going xboxlive stuff but never heard anything like wallpapers and themes thats horrible.
WHERE THE HELL IS METALLICA’S DEATH MAGNETIC DLC FOR GH3 ON THE US PSN STORE??????????
@Fritoz
360 charges for themes not wallpapers. You can have any free image as a wallpaper.
LAMN UPDATE!!
I see Japan is having contest on making little big planet chars, why US don’t have this yet…. (-_-)
