Arcade Giveaway on Twitter

If you’re not already following @XboxAustralia it would be in your best interests to start! I’m going to be giving away a few Arcade game codes over the morning, and afternoon too if I’m feeling extra nice. The first to redeem the code gets it. I’ll make you work for it when I have more time to play and less work to do. For now it’s that easy.

Marketplace Issues Resolved

Issues should now be resolved for the LIVE Marketplace–new content should now be visible, and missing content should be back.

What’s everyone planning on playing this weekend?

Marketplace Update

Progress!

All 3 new Arcade games (Rocket Riot, Magic: The Gathering, and Sam & Max Save the World) should now be downloadable from the Xbox LIVE marketplace. Issues with new and vanished content are being worked on still.

Marketplace Issues

We know that users are having trouble with some marketplace content–trouble purchasing some new items, other content disappearing, etc. I’ve been getting emails from the team since yesterday evening and these guys are diligently (and sleeplessly!) working on getting it all fixed.

In the meantime, I’m deactivating the promotions for affected content so they’re not staring you in the face. Trust me, I’m salivating over Magic: The Gathering too!

PS–Special jinx trivia. When I was growing up I didn’t know anyone who played Magic but I bought a few decks because they were pretty (I dare you to argue! They are pretty!), much the same reason I first got interested in Myst. I tried to teach myself to play from the manual and largely failed. I made up rules and played against myself instead. I always tended to favour one side instead of playing fairly. Yes, I favoured myself against myself. I’m sure a therapist would have a field day with that.
