Lode Runner Increases in Price

Lode Runner was released on the XBLA yesterday and if you were quick you'd have been able to pick it up for 800 points.

Apparently this was a mistake by Microsoft and today it's gone up to 1200. Also gone is a possible purchase from me and many others by the looks of it...

THE ICEMAN1313

I hate it when people disconnect online so either they don't record a loss or just deny you the win. What's even worse is someone that will happily take 7 or 8 wins against you in a row and then when you finally trap them in a position where you can't lose, they disconnect. Ring any bells THE ICEMAN1313? All you can do is add them as an unpreferred player which leaves you feeling unsatisfied.

This is what happened while playing Connect 4 yesterday which I managed to get a free code for. Incidentally it's quite a fun little game with numerous modes of play but certainly way overpriced at the 800 points they're asking for it.

The last time I encountered this was with Rock Band where people would disconnect right near the end of a song if they were losing. I think game makers need to consider this a little more with the steady move to online play and make sure there is some kind of retribution for disconnecting early, otherwise people will just stop playing these games. If you can't bare to lose you shouldn't be playing in the first place.

So then THE ICEMAN1313, named and shamed. Will it make a difference? No, but I feel satisfied :)

Xbox 360 Extended Warranty Covers E74

I've read several small articles regarding the E74 error that seems to be the new RRoD. I hadn't realised it had become quite such a big deal however with Microsoft now making an official announcement to say that the extended warranty has now been extended... more.

"While the majority of Xbox 360 owners continue to have a great experience with their console, we are aware that a very small percentage of our customers have reported receiving an error that displays "E74" on their screen,"

"After investigating the issue, we have determined that the E74 error message can indicate the general hardware failure that is associated with three flashing red lights error on the console. As a result, we have decided to cover repairs related to the E74 error message under our three-year warranty program for certain general hardware failures that was announced in July 2007."

One article suggested that the announcement only covers the US so far but I haven't been able to find anything on the Microsoft website that states that. I can't really see them treating other countries differently having now acknowledged the problem.

MKWii Battle Tips

I've been discussing with other forum members how to improve their skills in the Mario Kart Wii battles. Sometimes a picture can express a thousand words far more clearly. Hopefully it will make the regular Monday night session even more exciting than it already is.
