New Age of Empires on the way?
July 8, 2010 | Author stranded
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.
We Want Live – Microsoft will launch XboX Live in Central Europe!
June 16, 2010 | Author stranded
It finally happened. After weeks of waiting for Microsoft’s appearance on this year’s E3 event they announced that this fall Central Europe will get their XboX Live support (Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Greece). You will be able to migrate from your current non-your-country XboX Live account (if you have any) to your current location.
We would like to thank the creators of We Want Live action – thanks to them console gaming will be getting bigger after this summer, hopefully the prices for new XboX 360 games will drop too 
Oh and thanks for listening Microsoft.
Now, since the action is finally over we are taking off the banner for We Want Live from our page but we will never forget what you did for the gamers around the globe.
By the way, not only Central Europe gets XboX Live support, the following countries are included as well: Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Republic of South Africa.
They also announced this little thing:

International Consumer Day
March 16, 2010 | Author stranded
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!)
March 3, 2010 | Author stranded
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!
March 2, 2010 | Author stranded
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 Clock Is Ticking
February 4, 2010 | Author stranded
Microsoft has exactly 27 days, 6 hours, 14 minutes and 34 seconds while I write this. 27 days for what you say? Well you probably heard about We Want Live group. They sent a letter to Microsoft and gave them 30 days to respond to their demands for the XboX Live service in Poland (Games For Windows Live too I guess). If your country doesn’t have Live too simply go to their website and see what you can do for you country!
Will Microsoft have the balls to answer? We will find out soon.
