The 360 thread!

Microsoft aren't hosting the video tho are they? That would be the BBC surely? By making the iPlayer channel for XBL Gold customers only, they would be denying access to license-paying BBC customers.

That hasn't stopped them with other services like Hulu+ and Netflix.

Are folks aware of http://playxbla.com/?

They've started issuing prize challenges to get achievements within certain XBLA games each weekend. The thing is you don't have to achieve them THAT weekend, just have them at the end of it, so if you've already got them you're sorted. I was pointed at it by a friend last week, who saw that I'd actually already met that week's conditions, so a quick email netted me two free XBLA games without otherwise lifting a finger. There's no guarantee you won't get codes for games you already own, but I got lucky and got Joe Danger and Radiant Slivergun. I already had JD on PS3, but this version has added stuff, and I was definitely going to buy RS at some point when I'd cleared some of my current backlog. Result.

This week's challenge requires 6 achievements picked from across Full House Poker, Half Minute Hero, Raskulls, and Earthworm Jim. If you already own a couple of these it's well worth a look. I've already got the 4 cheevos from Full House Poker, so a little bit of effort on the other game I own, Raskulls, might bag me another couple of free game codes this week.

That's really cool, can;t argue with free games just for playing games can you.

I won codes for some World of Keflings DLC and Crimson Alliance from playXBLA last weekend. Crimson Alliance doesn't interest me especially so it's free to the first person who can type this in: FVGJQ-9649G-DJ3KV-VQ969-62K3Z

Enjoy

Really nice of you to give away that code.

It would have been even nicer if the person who'd snagged it had posted a thankyou here - not only would it have shown some gratitude but it'd also stop others from trying to use an already used code.

This is the first I've seen or heard of Deadlight (XBLA). The gameplay looks like Flashback and the atmosphere comes across well even in the trailer. Definitely one to watch out for.

[Ratsoap]

It's Flashback meets Limbo. Nice.

This week's PlayXBLA cheeve challenge needs 6 cheevos from Shadow Complex, Limbo or Bloodforge. I already had 3 of the Shadow Complex ones, and I've just bagged 3 of the Limbo ones in about twenty minutes using guides on the net. Sorted! 2 free games on Monday.

Here are the details:

Cheers for that! I'd already met the requirements, so I've sent them an email. I haven't taken part before, so let's see what happens.

[Mayhem]

Cheers... I have the Shadow Complex and Limbo cheevos, so I'll send an email

I got my email, and I got codes for Fruit Ninja Kinect and Toy Soldiers Napalm DLC Pack. I don't have Kinect or Toy Soldiers, so if anybody wants either of the codes, you can have it. Just reply here and I'll send it by PM.

What's this?



Reavers? COG?

All will be revealed at the E3 on June 4th, apparently.

I would love the fruit ninja please if you still have it thanks. Might even get my daughter to burn a few calories.

I'd be interested in the Toy Soldiers DLC if you still have it?
