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 ...We Want Live – Microsoft will launch XboX Live in Central Europe!
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
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!
Games For Windows Live Sale!
A very nice weekend sale on Games For Windows Live has just started, the first title is: Batman: Arkham Asylum for only $12.49 (75% off!)
More games coming on next weekends. More information can be found here.
Warning! Games For Windows Live is NOT supported in some countries.
The Clock Is Ticking
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.
We Want Live: Launches in English!

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!

Microsoft has 30 days to answer Polish players
Microsoft encouraged Polish players to buy original games (without multiplayer support and Live features) and stop modding their consoles. XboX players who are responsible for the revolt-ish website contacted Microsoft Poland and…
Here’s what the kontrakcja.pl site owner posted on their site (translated freely by me):
“We’re after talking to Microsoft Poland. (…) We live, we are well and continue to attack! It turns out (which was already a little known, but now we know for 100%), Microsoft Poland has nothing to say on the presence of the Live in Poland. Well ok, since they do not someone else decides, and now to that “someone” will turn.
How do we do it? First of all – along with Microsoft Poland. They promised to help players find the right contact! In few days we’ll put a set of materials directed to the people actually responsible for the Live and it’s absence and screwing players.
For the first time, we the players will create a raport. From the moment we pass the materials concerning Live absence in Poland to Microsoft, they will have 30 days to respond. Exactly after the 30 days we will see if Microsoft’s Poland word is worth anything, as well as Redmond to see what they have to say. Give them a chance – if the response is poor we won’t get anything at all then we will take this action to a next level. We must exhaust all possibilities and that’s what we do.
Also we have to go and change the graphic layout, English version of the site (if we leave the topic to the world, we must speak their language, otherwise they won’t understand), and finally WeWantLive.com address.
What else is going to change? Nothing! We want to continue what you wanted – Live in Poland, we still have the same arguments (see section “Important Questions”). (…)”
I can’t wait to see how it all turns out! :-) If you want Live in your country as well simply contact those people and try to contact Microsoft too.

Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition with co-op mode
The Ultimate Edition of Zeno Clash was ported from Orange Box engine to the Left 4 Dead-ish engine and it should be working a little bit smoother on the XboX 360. Unfortunately the Source engine is limiting the Ace Team in making the PlayStation 3 version possible.
The game is going to have a cooperative mode, a bunch of new attack moves, enemies and weapons. The very well known Tower Challenge mode from the Steam version of the game is going to have a 2 player mode so it should be a little more interesting.
Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition is scheduled to come out on XboX Live Arcade in March 2010.
