****ing piss poor - I can't believe the state of it. If I want to know a release date I'd expect that site to be my #1 source.

[arcnas]

Youre right thats bad, but i always use the US site for info as i have a us machine so those dates are more relevant to me, dont know it thats as bad as uk one.

[stainboy]

Oh yeah it's wednesday! That's what happens when you stay up all night - your internal calendar pages don't turn over.

Bit of a bummer if it means whatever would have been released today is bumped along, but then I wouldn't be suprised if their schedules are decided the night before. Still I'm not complaining, I just bought a bunch of arcade titles to catch up on 8)

[Yoshimax]

They must be - I still can't get my head round how they delayed Scramble the day before it was due up as it had "failed Q&A" - I mean am I seriously expected to believe the cut it that close to the bone ? It's a simple arcade conversion they're knocking them out in their sleep.

I wonder if there's any live action with scramble - would only be possible in a similar vein to TimePilot - **** it I'm off to download it.

Are the US demos on Marketplace region protected? I want to take a look at the NHL 2K7 demo and can log into a US Live account on my UK 360. At 1Gb its a large one to d/l if it isn't going to work!

Cheers!

[IanE]

They aren't protected. The NHL demo (EA one) is just a penalty shootout (on the UK Marketplace too). Unless you mean nother one!

[MartyG]

The NHL07 and NHL 2K7 are different demos of different games, but no it isn't region locked. IRC the only demo that's been locked is Love Football.

[talizker]

Thanks guys, will get downloading! I did mean the 2K Sports one (NHL 2K7).

^_^

[Yoshimax]

Yep 2K one is region free.

[Spatial]

So, is there any news yet on what's coming next Wednesday?

[Yoshimax]

Nope - they really need to get their act together on this front - I just hope they don't make as much a mess of it as the release dates on xbox.com !!!

[Family Fry]

I thought September 20th was Lumines Live! day, probably not now though im still hoping so.
