Cant wait downloading now
first above
(in case you didn't look at show 291) Hi Major Nelson! Can you tell e that the release date message was only a joke and that it was not meant to be answered. In fact the reason I sent it was because my friend bet me that the message would be deleted before e got around to reading it. I'm sorry and it won't happen again. At first I had forgotten that I sent that message and when I heard it today, I just said to myself,"Im pretty sure the dummy who sent that was me." I hope you guys don't think less of me.
...and whoever has the fastest internet gets the code!
I can't wait for the "NXE" Fall Update! Bring on more Developer's Diaries....
You should post the link to the Zune Press Release.
6 minutes after it was posted, an the code is gone already....
I never heard e swear. lol!
ahhaha B&H Photo
good magazine.
I got my Canon EF 50mm f1.2L lens from them.
Just waiting for the new Canon 5D to put that baby on!
Hey Major, I have a question regarding something that I don't believe that you have covered in any of your recent shows. The question is this: Is Microsoft still supporting any other Backward Compatibility updates? The actual list on Xbox.com hasn't been updated since November 2007. Is this as far as it goes? Specifically, the only game that I want that is not on the list is: Def Jam: Fight for New York. If you are adding anymore updates to the list, can you at least offer this game as a downloadable Xbox Original? Thanks.
I love the use of Driver 3 music... not sure if it's originally from that game but it's still a great tune. The Zune firmware update is going to be fantastic, the new guide design sounds really good and lastly the Burnout update should be enough to get me back into the game for a bit.. great episode Major, thanks.
hey major the batman lego game is coming out soon, can you interview someone about that game?
@Blue Thunder28
It is indeed the official theme from Driv3r.
Hey Major!!!! Keep the good work; We can not wait for the Update for the Xbox backward compt.
Looks like a good show, will listen to it when I come home from work.
Great show - interesting thought. Has the continued success of the PS2 had any impact on what Microsoft considers to do with the 360 programme after it's replacement is introduced?
'You, me and our 5 listeners'
Come on e, you have more then that, although I"m sure you were being sarcastic. I won't lie I haven't been listening to the show for a while. Actually, I haven't been able to play with this broken thumb of mine, it sucks.
Hopefully it healed when Banjo comes out. Hey Major, interview Rare about Banjo XBLA. I want to see video!! lol
@silver surfer
The only games that can be released for xbox originals are games that are backwards compatable. The Microsoft team uses the same code to emulate the software on the hdd as they do the software on the disc.
@SILVERSURFER784
I was under the impression that BC updates were no longer being done.
@SAKY
That would be unfortunate, if true, because that was a good fighting game (much better than the more recent "Def Jam Icon" game). Do you know if there has been an offical announcement that says that the updates have been stopped? If so, I would buy it as a downloadable Xbox Original game if it ever bcame available...
Thanks for the Zune info! I might just have to buy one some day! I know for a fact it has Xbox360 wireless syncing features and BTW:
My dad works at a medical company as a Admin and gets to go see your Microsoft conventions down at the X-L Center in Minnasota he thinks you guys have alot to offer for the future of PCs! Keep up the good work!
Major, lots of weird stuff going on with the flash player of your show.
- You cant seek the timeline, no forwarding / backtracking.
- If you pause the stream the sound will go deaf, the seeker will stop but the show keeps playing (hitting play again will just start the show up x seconds after you paused)
- It appears to be longer then it really is.
Not so good, not so good ;)
@Anon 13,
That sounds logical, but if true, that not only sucks, it is unnecessary. As someone pointed out earlier, it would be cheaper to buy the original Xbox game if it was BC, than to download it as an original. Any official responses in regards to new Backward Compatibility updates, Major?
