- games that cost 1600MP must give 400 gamerscore points, it's the natural (and correct) evolution of the service;

- you can remove the demo for the XBLA games that don't perform well instead of delisting, who really wants them must buy them directly (for 200MP).

I see smoke and mirrors.  So I go to this persons house to check out something I was gonna buy.  They smoke in the house!  I walk into the kitchen.  The walls are this dingy yellow, ahhm, just going on presumption here I am thinking the paint is supposed to be white.

I can't take it anymore.  They said they needed to paint.  I said, "I think you need to stop smoking!"

I can't take people anymore, hopefully this podcast makes my day!

Ugggh!

Guys.. skip to the Aaron Greenberg interview to hear anything of what you want to hear about (you know, the BIG news that's caused all the controversy) E & Major don't even mention it in their introduction and their news section which is frankly, ridiculous and disrespectful.

The reason we don't mention it is because there is no reason to go over it twice...once at the beginning of the show and then again in the interview. We were both very aware of the dicussion on the internet about this.If you listen to the interview, you'll hear us go into pretty deep detail.

Good show, but I didn't really learn anything new about delisting the XBLA games or the DRM tool.

1. Why does everyone take it out on Major?  If you want to say something say it against MS not Major like its his fault for giving us the news (good or bad). If it wasn't for him we would be in the dark.

2. On that note. Frankly I don't care anyways about Arcade because the games cost to much. If its 1600 I never buy period. If its 800 MAYBE I'll buy it if REALLY good and has replay value and stuff like that. But thats rare. I only own like 6 Arcade games. I'd pay anything under 600. Especially when its an old game like Golden Axe. Yeah its a great game but its still OLD. Stop jacking the price for profit.
