MS-points
This is the Market Place currency. The only way to get points is to buy them - Gamescore isn't the same thing. 1600p costs around $20 in stores, and if you order via dashboard the prices are:
500 points: $6.25
1000 points: $12.50
2000 points: $25.00
5000 points: $62.50

I'll update after your additions and my own searching.

Thx manager, great info!

2005-12-18 10:19:23

Yeah thnx manager i'm really hoping that Saint's Row demo is coming, i can't wait to check that one out...

2005-12-19 02:04:56

So let me get this straight, you have to download "patches" in order to play old Xbox games? If thats true, then how the hell are people WITHOUT Live going to be able to play their old Xbox games?

---
What the deuce?!

2005-12-19 02:25:27

It's been completely public knowledge for last several months, that people would need to download patches for additional xbox backwards compatibility. I don't know how you possibly missed that information or somehow thought that as more games were added, non live connected 360's would magically pull backwards compatibility from the air.

That said, people without Xbox live can download the updates, burn them to CD and install thme on the 360 that way. Please check xbox.com for more information on backwards compatibility

here let me help you out
http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/backwardscompatibi...

Original Xbox game support requires a hard disk drive (HDD) accessory on your Xbox 360 console.

There are three ways to obtain updates for your Xbox 360 console:

* Update through Xbox Live®.
* Burn a DVD or CD.
* Order a disc by mail from Xbox.com (available early December).

2005-12-19 03:07:01

Well I didn't know...so whatever.

Im guessing these patches wont take up much room on the HDD right?

What the deuce?!

2005-12-19 03:56:45

hey Manager do you have a link for that saint's row demo? pleeeeeeease ;]

2005-12-19 08:08:37

Critx I don't know the size of the files but it takes roughly 2 seconds to do the update so it can't be very big.

2005-12-19 13:31:40

Jesus H. Christ , there better be a Saints Row demo on christmas or near it or I will personally stab you in the jugular !


Not really but damnit I will threaten you over the internet ! ... lol

condemned demo is now up, via major nelsons blog, I have the game and i'm just too scared to keep playing.

2005-12-29 07:00:47

yup i just checked the marketplace after some pdz games and was happy to see this :D
the graphics are very nice, but framerate doesn't seem very fluid?? not my type of game, but has a nice, sorta scary feel to it.
since demo ends after the main guy gets thrown out the building by the criminal, what happens next?

Condemned demo actually came out last night/late afternoon, so it should be the 28th instead.

2005-12-29 19:10:54

european time, xal

2005-12-29 23:58:33

Man the demo of Condemned had some frame drops man sometimes a movement speeds up or goes very slow it's really irritating. I hear from other people that almost every demo has that so why don't they first check the demo before they put it online? =S
