Train-boy from fanboy ;)

As a consumer of XBLIG, if I don't hear about your game a month or so BEFORE release, then I'm usually not excited enough to want to buy it, though there are a few exceptions. The more details the better. I actively look for hi-res screenshots, videos, previews, interviews with the devs & anything announced on Twitter, mainstream ...

[quote user="Kris Steele"][quote user="Matthew Doucette"][quote user="Kris Steele"]Yeah, a website that allowed voting would be cool, i kinda doubt Microsoft will be doing this (at least anytime soon). Love to see this though.[/quote] I would think just an app would do, that was promoted on the Xbox dashboard like ...

Could it be that they put the ratings updates on hold during the dashboard preview? I have it, but hadn't check it lately. I'll check this evening. Any of you have it? Tommy McClain

I've yet to see any discussion topic or request that wasn't eventually tagged as pointless or wasting MS time. Most ideas posted in this forum would be better off posted on Connect to bypass those inevitable replies. "These aren't the droids you're looking for." LOL Tommy McClain

[quote user="The ZMan"]Since you are a developer writing games  I'm surprised you dont have them. You should aquire them as soon as you can, developers shouldn't be using other people to test these things since they are relativly cheap and its your job to make sure all of these things work properly before you go to per ...

You guys are thinking like developers & not like your customers. You're more worried about less competition than customers actually seeing you. With a single release date each week Microsoft can market your games a lot better. They can drive traffic to your channel as an event just like XBLA Wednesdays has done. Something that can be ...
