And while I'm correcting grammar - delete the apostrophe from "American's" in my last post!!!

And yes, I can't stand the way American's say "could care less" instead of "couldn't care less". But I'm sure there are plenty of things that we say that they find annoying too!

The American programme came first - I often saw it advertised during NFL games.

I'd like to see a UK version - mainly because the questions would be from the UK National Curriculum. The US version will have a load of stuff about American history and American culture.

I do like the UK version of the show and would like to pick it up on XBLA if it is ever localised.

Touché! Though, xbox.com is the official and last say of the price. I'm not sure why Maj would go through that trouble of getting some pre-documented papers and posting a price. Just telling us the game is "Coming on XXday" and a synopsis of what the game entails is more than enough. It seems here, people just get worked up in a frenzy over something the Maj can't change, but can update - on THIS site.

But you're point is very valid. In my work, I get that crap all the time and just work on other projects because in 3 days someone is at my desk or I get 5 separate emails "Oh, Warren I need that XXXX." ".. on paragraph 12, sentence 2 the word XX needs to be..." "Can you spruce it up and make it look flashy with bells and whistle?". Ehhh (it goes on and on)... but Touché Anon91 Touché.

@ Exu

"How much less could you care?"

People getting that phrase wrong bug you too, huh?

It's "couldn't care less" not "could care less".

Yes, I do have a job. And I am held responsible for my reports. If I include information from one of my team members I had better make sure it is correct, because if it isn't, and I get called in to speak to my supervisors, I can't just go "oh, well, that's the information I was given. Here's a code for Braid".

Ex-chellente!

Major you are spoiling us... well with the Marble Blast DLC at least =)

I wonder what it is? I never heard any news before about any DLC being canned?

Fingers crossed for new levels, maps and achievements... 50 of each should keep me happy :P lol

'Are you smarter than a fifth grader' is obviously US only, so it has nothing to do with me.

Fantastic. Can't wait to try the MBU content. That game is still my favourite arcade game.

@Hawaiian c

"HELLO!" to play it on the living room TV again other players is the MAIN selling point, but loads of questions, with rare repeats keeps the game fresh.

@Anon 61

Dude, say your peace, but you don't have to be rude about it. A mistake was passed onto a PR person (I consider this site PR as it is NOT official, but entrusted). Okay, a mistake, not Maj's fault - he's busy can't you see? Did you gripe at the auto engineers who said we would have flying cars in 2000-2001? Or gripe at Popular Mechanics who also stated the same thing? I don't think so. It's a 'game', replace it with the word 'luxury'. Which in the basic sense means 'you do not need it to live'. Do YOU have a job yet? I thought so. Though I do want to agree with you on the Flickr issue, I did laugh a second. I would like to see more random location and item photos. :)

Man, I never knew so many people liked, hrrrm, STILL liked Marble Blast Ultra!?!?

@Bushi no Eire

"Hadoken" fellow fighter. Go to capcomunity.com and hit up my profile. I've met a few fighters to keep entertained enough until the lag sets in. Email me on Xbox Live to set up a battle for some SF2HF until HD Remix appears. SF4 is supposedly coming in Winter 08, so... "Ooooooh..." But I am begging for a controller with a standard WORKING d-pad - though I prefer the SNES controller for all of my 2D fighting games (on SNES: Street Fighter 2, Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat II, Samurai Shodown and Art of Fighting).

GamerTag: Tubby1313 is awesome! Battle him in SF2HF. He's a Capcom AND SNK fan, so bring your best or you'll leave crying - seriously.

Yes,I am smarter than a fifth grader. Therefore I will not buy this game. As my gamercard says;"Release Super Street fighter II HD Remix already!"
