[360] Marketplace updates and DL content thread

There's a plethora of information on the internet about current marketplace updates and downloadable content releases but frankly, who has time to go looking for it?

This thread is for people to post information on new releases on Xbox Live, be it game demos or what have you on market place or new DLC on Xbox games.

Please only post info on stuff that has been released already or has a confirmed date. This is not a speculation thread.

Also, any posts not contributing to the list of available stuff or making useful comments on the stuff that's been released, will be deleted.

When telling us about updates, please check first to see if anyone already posted it and please include as much info as possible.

Right, carry on.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Quick question.

Would general things like "PGR3 just got an update patch" or information on the firmware update go in here, or is this just for things that can be downloaded from the marketplace directly?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well I thought that any major releases of dlc, firmware or major patches should go here. Basically, if you think people will want to know about it, post it up.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ok, gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.

Carrying right along: The newest content is from NHL2K6, it's a picture pack for 80 MSP. There is also a couple of Battle for Middle Earth II things. One is an Elves picture pack for 160 points and the other is a "Cinematic Painting" Theme for 150.

Except this thread will essentially just be a mirror of www.majornelson.com, since that's where most people learn about new marketplace additions before posting them in here.

I was speaking idiomatically.

But he doesn't post about patches and stuff usually, from what I've seen. It's always been annoying to download a patch and not know what it does.

Also, in my case, I can't access Major Nelson's blog 5 days out of 7. >=(

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well we'll see how this goes. If it gets redundant I'll remove it.

How ya doing, buddy?

Other than the important firmware upgrade which everyone should have gotten by now (see the thread on it), there is something else of note that's up on the marketplace.

Perfect Dark Zero's "Map Pack 1" (So there will be more I guess) is out. 500 MSP. A little steep but at least it's 4 maps for that price. Beats CoD 2's pricing scheme if you don't count the free ones they gave out.

There is also an Oblivion patch. I assume it does what the PC patch did. Fix a few of the infinite gold tricks and other little bugs.

Lastly, there is a Rumble Roses demo. ::noonecares::

SInce last update there has been a whole bunch of crap NO ONE CARES ABOUT. Fucking picture packs for various games and so forth. WOW DOWNLOAD MOTO GP PICTURE PACKS. ::thumbsdown::

Anyway, there is also STREET FIGHTER PICTURE PACKS AND A THEME...but no game. So now you can have a theme fuill of lol RYU and various other characters to NOT PLAY YOUR DAMN ARCADE GAME ON.

Awesome.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

According to IGN, before Major Nelson even the Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter Chapter 2 downloadable content is out.

It will go for 1200 marketplace points (~$15).

I'll be playing this tonight so page me if anyone wants to slug through the new co-op campaign.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

A Prey demo should be available right noooow. It should take up about 1.5 Gigs. I hope this is appropriate.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

New shit.

-Simpsons Movie Trailer (crappy, about 10 seconds long)
-Halo 3: In the Beginning (Making of the Trailer)
-NCAA Football 2007 Demo ( ::noone cares:: )
-Trailer: Mass Effect: Demo Walkthrough (am also confused what that means)
-Frogger (XBLA)
-Oh yeah, more PGR3 cars and modes (nuBZ)

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

What new PGR style pack #2 isn't important enough along with the GAME UPDATE that adds two new modes (Cat and Mouse, Cone Capure). nubtube

Texas Hold'Em coming out August 23rd?

Quote:

Microsoft recently announced that it will be releasing downloadable games in the middle of the week as part of its Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays program. The company revealed the first five games on the promo's schedule but didn't venture beyond that, ending with Pac-Man on August 9.

Now it appears that a fortnight after gamers are gobbling up ghosts and feeding on power pellets they'll be gambling on inside straights and reading players' tells. On Xbox.com, the product page for Texas Hold 'Em shows a release date of August 23, a date that has been confirmed for GameSpot by a Microsoft rep.

Gamers won't be able to play for money, but that shouldn't bother too many because the game itself is free, making it the second free game for the Xbox 360 after Hexic HD (available gratis on the optional 20GB hard drive). Card sharks will be able to play standard games, tournaments, and various scenarios, as well as create their own poker variants for up to eight players.

Best part is it is free!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Anyone know for sure how many points will score you SFII on Tuesday?

FELIPE NO

You mean on Wednesday? 800 points/10 bucks.

How ya doing, buddy?

Damn I guess it was foolish of me to think it would be 400 minimum. :doh:

The worst part is that it's no longer free.

Just remind everyone that tomorrow's August 1st and the SAINT's ROW demo will be up!

After my last post, I hate to bring more bad news, but there are 31 days in July.

On the bright side of things, that means back to back Saints Row demo and Street Fighter II downloads. On the less bright side of things, I have work early on Wednesday, so no late night tuesday download for me.

Also, I don't see it posted here, but you people do know there's a demo of Ninty-Nine Nights on the marketplace, right?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Oops. My bad.

N3 is fun for a while, but I have to say that visually, I'm far from impressed. Fog and pop-ups aren't suppose to be present on next-gen systems.

How ya doing, buddy?

I guess that's a side effect from having 500+ characters on the screen at any given time.

The 360 may be a powerful machine and all, but it's not like it has infinite processing power. Remember how bad similar games of this sort looked on the PS2? It's quite a leap over the likes of Dynasty Warriors.

Anyway, N3 is a riot. It went from rental to purchase for me.

No, that's just the marketing utopia that is presented with the launch of any new console. No matter how many advances in technology are made someone will either have to cut corners for the sake of some other part of the agme to be better or simply cut corners for financial reasons.

FELIPE NO

Guess I should just add to this pointless thread by saying STREET FIGHTER 2 IS OUT.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Is it just me or did they make it really difficult, my guess is this would justify the title Hyper Fighting title. :eyebrow: I hopped right into 7-star difficulty and well, I'm still a long ways to go. :doh:

How ya doing, buddy?
