At last details of what I am doing down here in San Francisco have been reveled. We’ve got news about the ‘two’s’: Fable 2, Gears of War 2, Ninja Gaiden II, Too Human (ok, that’s not a two…but a Too) plus Viva Pinata : Trouble in Paradise and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and more. Details of what was announced today and screens are now available on Xbox.com. Plus, I’ll have Inside Xbox videos posted later today.
will we have videos on marketplace? thanks! banjo looks marvellous""
Cool!
WHAT? Bionic Commando delayed AGAIN? and for what? a 1600 points game???
Customer Service My A$$... Let me tell you what I am doing RIGHT NOW AS A I TYPE THIS.
I tried to input 3 48 hour codes this morning. One after the other because the Gold Live time is not applying at all! All were verfied and I logged in and out for each of them. They should work. They all expire on 06/30/08.
I am on the line right now with the FOURTH customer care rep. TWO of the prior reps disconnected me while transfering me. The third put me into a different call queue.
All I am trying to do is get my 6 days of gold verfied. But these people are STUPID, IGNORANT IDIOTS who can't even use their system.
VIVA LA INDIA CALL CENTER!
This sucks MAJOR NELSON MULE D1CK. My cell phone time is getting wasted because the wage slaves in India can't use their software they help to pirate...
NOTE1: I am still on hold waiting for a supervisor to pick up because it seems that even though the call center can see THE MOMENT I ENTERED THESE CODES, they can't seem to be able to apply THE ACTUAL TIME.
XBOX Live in all its glory. Now I know I am not the first one to deal with problems like this, but considering I am on my FOURTH system, and I have had to deal with this THREE TIMES ALREADY, you would think someone in India would get off their sorry a$$ and DO SOMETHING.
This is Sparta? No. This is outsourcing...
So a BIG F**K YOU to MS customer service and their useless selves. If I was in front of their terminal I could have applied this already.
NOTE2: STILL ON HOLD AS I TYPE THIS.
Ian, the current customer supervisor whom I am talking to now, is trying to tell me that these cards now have different terms and conditions. FUNNY, NOT ON THE CARDS I HAVE HERE!
I did not have these problems when I WAS GOLD. NOW THAT I AM SILVER, I HAVE PROBLEMS. How strange... Yeah, right. F**king MS...
Ian has been caught LYING twice now. He keeps sprouting about how these cards are different now. He just admitted to keeping details from me. He just admitted he could do changes to the GT, but he will not.
Ian just tried to tell me that the card I got in my copy of Viva Pinata is NOT valid because I did not actually buy the card!
Ian is a worthless pissbucket supervisor who needs to meet me in person.
NOTE2: nearly 2.5 hours now, and Ian COULD DO SOMETHING, but WON'T. THIS IS XBOX CUSTOMER SERVICE. So much for making the customer happy.
SIX.DAYS.OF.LIVE. That is it. All I wanted. I can't even get that. F**K MS.
And you wonder why I have such little opinion for the higher ups at MS. They don't do anything. EVER. The next time I hear Major *** about how hard we are on them sometimes, I am going to have Major pull my customer service file...
...or better yet, have E or Litheon pull Ian's call records from Customer Service. Listen for yourself and tell me MS is not full of sh1t...
And lastly, that BULLSH1T "DRM The More You Know" piece on Gamerscore Blog is not a 100% fix. Not even close. To put that up as gospel? Well, just another shining example of how smart MS thinks we are.
XBOX 360 - They can change License Transers, ADD Points, and change GT info (FOR A PRICE!), but they CAN NOT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO ADD SIX DAYS OF GOLD...
(YEAH, I POSTED IT TWICE - LIKE I CARE WHAT MS THINKS RIGHT NOW)
I think that says it all. Too many sequels. At least I can catch up on last years games that I missed.
Herb,
Is it save to assume Alan Wake is dead? Let's make it official.
Clicking on the link and reading about fable 2, looks like no online co-op. I shall go cry in the corner.
More news on Banjo 3 and wnd these codename peripherals I keep hearing about please! (codename "lips" and "Newton")
No spring update info?
A solid line - up Major, please record some interviews for the podcast please
Oh and that's it? Wow lackluster.
Hey Major I have a quick question, a month or 2 ago I received an email from Xbox about getting a free Catan XBLA game. It had a link to xbox.com and I filled everything out, yet have not received the game. So was this a real thing?
thanks for the update Major. :)
What about the spring update dash board?
No reports on the Spring dashboard update?
I'm really looking forward to Too Human, it's been a long time coming, so I was pleased to read it's coming August.
Not sure about Gears of War 2, from the video they released last Friday I wasn't all that impressed. It looked exactly like Gears of War, same gameplay, etc... I really hope they have more to offer for that sequal than displaying more enemies on the screen and new weapons, or else I'll just play through Gears of War 1 again.
Let us know when the "Lips" accessory is unveiled.

I thought for sure that you'd talk about the Spring Update today. If you don't say something soon, it'll be the Summer Update...
Viva Pinata 2!
BEST NEWS EVER!
Ugh.. I really was hoping that I wouldn't be saying this.. but
how very underwhelming for a console on its third year and the 360 is really showing it's age and its limit's.
Thanks for the update. Fable 2 online multiplayer? Cool.
TOO HUMAN NOW IS 2 PLAYERS CO-OP ONLY. WHAT A SHAME, SILICON KNIGHTS!!!!
Major....and the whislist for Spring dashboard update 2008.???
thanks
Zentagor, Bionic Commando was never delayed, there was no official release date...
Viva, so they learned with the last flop???? Bring back the gardens! This new Viva looks great and the first one (and I am a 41 year old male can you believe it) was great. I hope the gardens can be much larger this time. They were too small but still great.
i can haz spring updatez?
