Xbox Live is 5 years old today! Happy Birthday XBL!
To celebrate MS are letting every single XBL user download a free arcade game tomorrow (16th November) so don't forget to sign on and do so. Not sure at this point if it's one particular arcade game, or a free for all. I suspect the former.
Also, as of December 4th we'll be able to download full original XBOX games through the marketplace at a cost of 1200 MicroBucks a pop (that's about £8 in real money.) Launch titles include Halo, Psychonauts, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and Fable.
I might pick up Halo, although I suspect I could get the disk cheaper if I shopped around. Also Psychonauts is well worth a look if you've not played it.
Thanks for the heads-up.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware of this.
Psychonauts is pretty good and quite strange. I've got it for PS2, if anyone wants a borrow.
Apparently the free arcade game is Carcassonne.
ReplyDeleteSucks to be anyone who paid for this previously.
Pfff. Carcassonne. Give us the one game I really didn't want.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping that the bonus 500 creds would apply to us here in the UK, but my balance hasn't changed yet.
*limply blows a party whistle*
Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
ReplyDeleteGets a 78 on Metacritic. Better than a kick in the nuts.
not really, I trial played Carcassonne and didn't ever play it again.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd prefer a kick in the nuts -- at least it won't take up space on my hard drive. ;)
Honestly, the way it was worded originally meant it looked like we'd get to choose a free game. If Carcassonne is such a great deal, they could have said "Carcassonne will be free for two days" but instead they left it ambiguous.
A two day window to download an old medieval based strategy game is hardly very Arcadey... who plays stuff like that in an arcade?
