Chose your own Deal of the Week on XboX Live!
Microsoft introduced a pretty good change to their Deal of the Week event, from now on users will be able to chose, from several games picked by Microsoft, their own deal for a particular week. The first game on sale chosen by players will be available early in October.
Loading ...Age of Empires Online – sign up now!
Our earlier post about new project Spartan turned out to be Age of Empires Online! A free RTS by Microsoft, it’s focused on multiplayer gameplay, cooperative gameplay and some single player content. You can sign up for beta access right now by clicking logo below:
New Age of Empires on the way?
Microsoft is looking for beta testers for a new title created by Robot Entertainment which consists of many Age of Empires series developers. The new game has a codename, it’s either Spartan or Project S. The rumor is kinda obvious – adding the best Age of Empires features to some cool and modern graphic design/engine. I personally can’t wait for more info about this. You can read a lot more about this on Kotaku.
Weekend Deals (26.03.10)
Hi guys, sorry for being late ;)
(updated – added GoG & Torchlight)
As you may already be aware that Steam is giving away excellent Diablo-like (almost the same creators though!) RPG named Torchlight! For very damn good price – 75% discount! US: $19.99 $5.00 / UK: £14.99 £3.75 (12% higher) / EU: 15,99€ 4,–€ (7% higher). Get it now, lots of them and save for friends! Who doesn’t know, what or who Torchlight is, then check the review here.
GetGames has also nice deals. Items on sale: Alien vs Predator (-33%), Napoleon Total War (-33%) & Empire – Total War (-66%). Check the details from forum post by Rad86N here. Fortunately you can change the currency and buy the item in selected currency and price (which may vary). As there are no complaints against EU users buying in $ or £, so I think that it can be “exploited” :)

GameTap has 66% discount for Empire – Total War – $10.10 (6.8£ / 7.5€). Link here.

International Consumer Day
It was a good day yesterday. On March 15th whole Europe was celebrating the International Consumer Day.
People from We Want Live managed to contact Polish Federation of Consumers. And according to them Microsoft is selling a broken/missing product on the Polish market and the Polish XboX 360 users can easily get their money back by returning their consoles to the shop. And there is a chance that you will be able to do the same…with XboX 360 games that don’t have working multiplayer features.
We Want Live members gathered over 100 different things that is being treated as proof by the Federation. It’s mostly scans and pictures of user manuals of the console (which encourage people to create an XboX Live account and plug their console to the Internet).
Will Microsoft finally say something about it? Even though they did respond in few sentences earlier, some sort of longer and more official message should be announced in the media.
We Want Live – about to receive an answer? (THEY DID!)
There’s a hope for Polish XboX Live and Games For Windows Live. As far as I know the creators of WWL are about to receive an official statement from Microsoft head quarters in USA.
Too bad Microsoft waited a month to do this… We will post more details here as soon as we know something.
UPDATE:
Here’s an official Microsoft statement about XboX Live sevice in Poland:
Xbox is very committed to the Polish market and is appreciative of the passion and excitement that our community of users show for our products, including Xbox LIVE. This year, 2010, is going to be a historic year for Xbox and our aim is to bring to our Polish community of users the full and best interactive experiences possible on the Xbox 360. We currently finalizing our plans for the Polish market that we will become public at the forthcoming E3 consumer trade show, later in June. Our Polish community of Xbox users should expect to hear more about how we will take the Xbox 360 experience to another level in Poland.
They didn’t even bother to sign the freaking letter (no one knows who wrote this, it just says Microsoft). I say fuck them and their legal games in Poland, just don’t buy new XboX 360 games if your country isn’t supported – like the upcoming Bad Company 2 (a 100% multiplayer game which has no…multiplayer).
I’ll get back to laughing now! :)
Less than a day left for Microsoft to respond!
That’s right, it’s less than a day for Microsoft to respond on the lack of XboX Live and Games For Windows Live in Poland (and the most of central, eastern European countries). I wonder if they’re going to send anything at all, at least an e-mail?
We’ll see!

The voice of Polish XboX 360 gamers is even louder thanks to their refreshed website and language version of the site.
If you want Live in your country join their cause and maybe in near future the community will force Microsoft to bring Live to Central and Eastern Europe!
