Fuck a duck, didn't realise SYNSO was in PT. Spoke to Andy a few days back and he said it was about to bung it in.

The last version I played was lovely. Hard, but lovely. Definitely shits on my original. Bless his socks to heaven, more people should salvage my arse games like that.

Shame my 360 is fucked so I won't be able to play it for a while unless my prodding of MS comes to a happy ending soon.

This is annoying Tonight Neil wanted play Prince of Persia, the really old one. Before the update we were able to play the full game without being connected to X-Box live. Now he can't, He only play the trial version and can only play the full version if he is connect to live. But I own the fucking game. Why is X-Box live not aloud to play the full game without being connected to Xbox live. I owned the copy and paid for it and should be able to play the way I want, which is not on-line.

Has the update changed something? Last I checked, downloaded content could be played on the console on which it was initially purchased without being connected to Live. The online connection was only necessary if playing on a different console, like if you take the HDD to a friend's house.

Downloaded the Ghostbusters demo last night. Really enjoyed it! The inclusion of the original cast all reprising their roles was genius.

360 demo?

Can't find any mention of it on Major Nelson.

Edit: Game page has it: http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/g/ghostbusters/

Will try it tonight.

They wouldn't mention it on Nelson, the demo was on the US store when the game came out there. In the summer.

It's fun, not brilliant, and I'd quite like to play it again but someone nicked my Canadian copy.

He usually mentions new territories as updates to original posts, but I couldn't find any mention of it.

Edit: Seems search isn't working for me at work using IE8, so he might have mentioned it.

We're sorry - you do not meet the requirements to submit and/or review games on the XNA Creators Club Online site.

You need to fork out the $60 registration fee to be able to review unreleased games. I have considered it, but I'm having enough problems keeping up with the torrent of published XBIG games!

Speaking of which: Arkedo 01 Jump! appears to have been taken back off the platform, together with Ninja Bros (evil multitasking puzzle game). Hopefully it's just some sort of glitch: having bought and finished Jump!, I can't really see any other reason for it to be pulled...

Hmm. That sounds like your Xbox isn't automatically logging you into a profile when it starts up - mine has recently started doing the same, as well as dropping the XBL connection partway through a game. "Paid" games (and DLC) are tied into a profile: if you're not logged in, then you only get access to the demo. However, you should be able to log into a profile without connecting to XBL and play games - excepting Indie games: you have to be online to play these.

My "login on boot" works intermittently: while it could be something to do with my ADSL line, I don't get the same problem with other activities, so I rather suspect that the problem is with Microsoft's infrastructure: too many users and not enough servers...

Discovered recently that the auto-sign-in only works if you have a controller connected. It has to bind profile to a controller, so if there isn't one it can't sign anyone in.

Including wireless ones I think?

[Flabio]

Yeah, but it's quite easy to turn on the machine from the front panel instead of using your wireless controller.

But.....but.....that means I'd have to get out of my chair.

It stil randomly fails though. Bugs the hell out of me despite using the guide button to power on and off all the time.

I was hoping my freebie membership from dream/build/play was good enough but never mind.

Will be good to see them both on the service.

It happens to me when I'm wanting to play Rock Band. I use a wired controller normally, so I pull that out and power on the machine, then turn on the guitar. If I'm not fast enough, the sign-in fails.

Your DBP membership is good enough to play a build if I send it to you though. Hardly worth it now, but something to remember in future.
