OOps! Sounds like the launch of a new operating system!:)

I'm sure it will get fixed quick, a system like this needs to be robust!

That's what happens when everyone wants to test the new service at the same time.

Got alot of friends on xbox live in the UK and thats basically what happend every one with an xbox live account started using the service as soon as it poped up...which caused problems, but microsoft all ways fixes this stuff so they aren't worried.

I am just imagine the scene:

What the?! This isn't Transformers!

What is it?

...ah lesbians.

7GB of lesbians!

whoelse5980d ago

I would rather have lesbians than Transformers any day! :D

rmedtx8885981d ago

That's funny riksweeney. Maybe the movie was called "Transforming Lesbians"...

This is one of many problems for Microsoft and the XBOX 360. It's unfortunate that with as much money consumers spend for XBOX Live each year, it would at least offer their buyers superior service than the Playstation Network. This is not the case, once again, how long will the XBOTS take this mistreatment from their company?

No one knows this answer, not even the $niper.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis2d ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast2d ago

It's worth a play through today.

Downplaying every rendition of elves over a period of 70+ years? What kind of headline is that?

kythlyn9d ago

That and they're not that great. =_=; Game's too short to really get to know them.

"I won’t make that mistake again." It's impossible to that mistake again, so of course the write won't make it again.

LMAO what?! Every article that sings DD2's praises just seems off now that I've played it for myself. Its a mid game, 7/10 at best and that is generous. The elves are a joke too, much less interesting than say the Witcher 3's elves or Baldur's Gate 3's elves.
