One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

They probably can't preload DLC. I don't remember that ever happening, at least.

I'm sure they could have figured out something but I understand there being other priorities.

my "favorite" thing is the absurd prices you get on certain items because some resellers apparently jack the price on items they're nearly put of stock on way up because the Amazon algorithm badly penalizes your store if you report that you're actually out of stock on something

I've also heard that marketplace book stores will have bots to regulate the prices of their books and they'll see a book in stock at another seller and raise their price by a penny, which causes the other store's bot to do the same, creating a loop so some worthless obscure out of print paperback goes for thousands.

I'm pretty sure Forge will be part of the F2P multiplayer portion once it finally emerges sometime in the butt-end of next year.

Sony managed this…












with Ultra Street Fighter IV on PS3.



It’s really easy.

1. Release the DLC early, but the client doesn’t have the data required to recognize said DLC.

2. At launch time, release a small patch that activates the game’s ability to recognize the DLC.

The reviews I've seen suggest that since the rest of the game is free, it's better to just sub to Game Pass for a month if that's not something you already do and just be done with it in that time. After that you can multiplayer for free until Halo 7.

I’m under the impression that the games goes live globally at the same moment, that map just shows the local times at that point. I think?

I want the halo elite 2 controller, have I got zero chance of getting one? In the U.K.

Edit: yeah I checked and it looks like that’s the local times for the global launch, so you’re not actual getting it late :)

Whats the deal with this Xbox All Access thing? I've never bought anything on finance, and while there's no APR on it, I can't find a single ding of information that implies you can just pay it off early. I don't really want to be locked into a 40$ a month commitment when I can just buy the goddamn thing with cold hard cash now

Does 12 minutes ever expand beyond the apartment? I was enjoying it well enough but then googled the length and I'm getting reports of like 12-20 hours whut? Seems like something that would be fun for maybe 2 or 3 hours tops unless the scope is much bigger than it appears.

It’s basically the box plus 2 years of game pass ultimate/24 monthly payments. 0% interest.
I think you can pay it off early, but there is little incentive to do so. For folks who don’t have a lot of established credit it’s a great deal. I think I’ve logged into the account once ever to hit “accept”
