Battlefield 1943 servers being added 'around the clock' {Joystiq}
Jul 9th 2009 3:13PM Somehow, since EA/DICE so miserably dropped the ball on server issues... even after doubling server capacity... I think it will backfire on them, and there won't be any trouble getting on servers in a few days, because most who tried initially will be fed up and will have given up and/or read the bad press about getting into games and lag. You'll will be hearing "crickets" on a lot of these servers they just slotted in, because it will be a virtual ghost town, because EA dropped the ball and got a bunch of press about this title... bad press.
Smooth move EA. Thanks for reaffirming your ineptitude at dealing with online servers.

I've been waiting and waiting for this feature to see the light of day.
This keyboard would rock... it would be worth more than my PC.
Discounted Doom, Pac-Man CE top Amazon XBLA Store {Joystiq Xbox}
Apr 14th 2009 12:12PM These are the kind of deals that MS should be offering directly.
Their current discounts through MS are few and far between... just since this has been announced by Amazon, we've seen terrific deals. Hopefully they will continue.
Puzzle Quest: Galactrix beams down to XBLA on April 8 [update] {Joystiq}
Apr 2nd 2009 11:30PM I'm looking forward to this one... based on reviews of the PC/DS version, it isn't an automatic buy. I'll have to wait and see how the trial plays out. I am very excited about this title and Magic the Gathering.
Some creators disappointed with XNA Community Games sales {Joystiq}
Mar 30th 2009 12:39PM I've bought Carnivale, Miner Dig Deep and downloaded a bunch of other community titles.
I think the developers should price them 200-400. I think that is the sweet spot. Why Carnivale was a community game and not a regular XBLA release is beyond me... it is superb.
Lots of good titles on there to try out though.
Original Call of Duty rated for PSN, Xbox Live {Joystiq}
Mar 26th 2009 1:58PM Call of Duty 1, still sells for $20 on Steam for PC.
I'm betting they will charge 1600 ms points for this... if so, no sale for me. I'll skip it.
If it is 800 and includes single-player and multiplayer then I'm in.
MS has a habit lately of pricing stuff too high. There are several titles out right now, that if they were 400 instead of 800, or 800 instead of 1600, I'd be purchasing on XBLA.
