Oh look, they're charging another 10-20 quid for the rest of Beautiful Katamari.

I downloaded one or two of them and guess what.. they're 5 byte "unlock key" files.

Namco, you are actually on the verge of sucking for once.

Didn't we have a thread where people vented their hatred for PA? Didn't that get it off peoples chests to the point they can go back to ignoring it?
Wow great overreaction to a throwaway comment. :lol:

Sounds like the pre-installing that caused a lot of complaints on the PS3 thread.

It's the whole optional versus mandatory thing though isn't it? And I'd still be surprised if that's a genuine list of whats in the update.

Just tried the Bourne Ultimatum demo. If you think a hybrid of Fahrenheit and Dragon's Lair sounds like a good idea, you might like it. That's another one I won't be buying, then.

I just tried it too. It's like one big QTE! Boo. The driving section was funny though, in that it was awful.

It's funny how the 'open-world' GTA is so much more like an action film than this heavily-scripted Bourne game that wants to be an action film.

Aces of the Galaxy looks fupping excellent - reminds me of Blast Radius on the PS1.

Last night I plugged my xbox power supply in and got a red light on it. I then got a red ring around the on button, when I turned it on.

I turned it off, unplugged it, started again and it was fine.

Is this a sign of bad things to come? I've had my xbox less than a month.

Nah - it does that if you have any slightly loose connections. Gives you bit of a fright though doesn't it.

If you watch the trailer it looks like its on rails rather than being a dogfighter. Could still be good though.
