I told you Blacklist was coming to Wii U GG.

If its close to the PC version graphically I may get the Wii U version. I'm actually considering Deus Ex on the U too just cuz I love that game & it looks great on the U.

We understand that the next Xbox will require an online connection to use the entertainment services, allowing them to be always-on for streaming and access to TV signals.

The functionality will work by taking a cable box signal and passing it through to the Xbox via HDMI, allowing Microsoft's console to overlay a UI and features on top of an existing TV channel or set-top box. We're told that this is a key part of the next-generation Xbox and that it will go a step further than Google's TV implementation thanks to Microsoft's partnerships with content providers.

The rumors have changed, now Durango supports offline play and used games. Crisis averted. Though they are going the Sega CD route with addon consoles.

When the Durango (game machine) launches, it will not support backwards compatibility for 360 games out of the box. Instead, this functionality will come from the other unit that will be networked with the Durango to provide this (not unlike the DVD add-on for the original Xbox).


The purpose of the smaller Xbox unit is to compete with Apple TV, but also provides XBLA and 360 game support which will give it an edge over Apple TV. The rumors of “always online required” comes from the smaller Xbox unit which may not have a disc drive and like Apple TV it would require a network connection and internet to provide any real functionality. It may be possible they will design both consoles to be stackable.


Durango itself will also always be online like any other device (correct with rumors), but it will not be a requirement to play local content and it will not prevent playing used games. Putting in an Xbox 360 disc into Durango will prompt the user to attach the supporting device that is sold separately. By separating the two devices and their functions it will ensure price competitiveness for both pieces of hardware. Microsoft’s delay in announcing these products from April goes more inline with not having a physical set of devices to show (among specification updates), which should be ready by May or June when this information is officially released.


The price goal of the smaller Xbox is $149 or lower and it is likely to not have a disc drive and would require a network connection. Durango will be priced competitively according to PS4′s price.

Clearly it is a current gen game though.

Does it matter when it looks this good?

Saints Row The Third was developed and published prior to Deep Silver acquiring Volition. So rest assured this excellent game has nothing to do with Deep Silver.

So I'm finally tired of my Wii U locking up every other game, I'm sending it in for warranty repair. One thing about Nintendo their customer servive is the best in any business. It was a pleasure dealing with them and that can't be underestimated. No hold, no messing around just did what was needed. Most every CS I have to deal with is a nightmare.

So are you out of pocket on that or do they cover everything?

It would depend on if his warranty expired; If it expired he would have to pay for it; If their is a warranty the only thing he has to pay for is shipping to Nintendo.

No no out of pocket not even shipping. They are sending paid ups label, and they are extending my warranty for as new from when the repair comes back full year from that day.. Thats one thing Nintendo has always done right and I respect them for it. The Best CS is electronics.

I went for ages without a lock up, weeks, months. Then NFS updated with a patch and then I had two hard freezes but one was with Netflix. Just unplug it from the wall and turn it back on and it works fine. A lot of people have had hard locks. Personally if I was you I would have waited for the update this month from Nintendo that was going to fix the OS and load times etc.

But it doesn't cost him anything, and he doesn't use it anyway, so he may as well.

Capcom: Darkstalkers Resurrection hasn't sold well enough

Yeah I'm dying on unsuprise here. Getting people interested in Darkstalkers is always an uphill battle. Add to the usual challenge a $15 price-point (too high this time) and a flood of excellent AAA games, and Resurrection really never had a chance. I was even pretty gung-ho on it, but I got caught up in other games, and when Injustice hits next week I won't even remember there was a new Darkstalkers.
