All they had to do was a nice wee arena space battler first person flying around the Armada with cylons and humans fighting.

I'm not even going to download it (as with Wing Commander) as it'll only dismay me

Petition needed for Live Tie Fighter HD

Aww man, I just did enough to get an achievement on Exit (5000 points for the first five situations) and nothing happened. Achievement locked. That took pissing ages, too.

Welcome to the world of achievement glitches

check out the Exit forum over on a360p.com - someone's bound to have experienced it/have a solution.

OK so I have just experienced Battlestar Galactica. That's all I want to say about it. I want to put the experience behind me now

Persuade a European friend to buy an Xbox 360 and both get 10 arcade games

Microsoft is running a promotion in Europe (not sure which regions specifically) which encourages gamers to make their friends buy an Xbox 360 in order to both receive 10 arcade games. The games available are Sensible World of Soccer, Sonic, SF 2, Bomberman, Marble Blass, Spyglass, Small Arms, 3D Ultra Mini Golf, Assault Heroes and Zuma, so essentially you are getting around 7000 free points. The offer expires at the end of the year. Check out more info at Xbox.com (Dutch).

Maybe it'll make it over here? I'm tempted to trade mine in for a new one with HDMI.

I'll have to wait a while, there's only two other people that have done the levels needed, let alone got the maximum points from them, so I might be the only person who's had this happen so far!

Once again they tease us with the Sensible Soccer!

Everyone involved in the making of the XBLA game Battlestar Galactica should be shot, and all their close relatives sterilized to make sure the gene pool that gave us this trowel of dog poop can never, ever, come together again to make games.

Exit is great, exactly my kind of thing. It does feel a bit clunky to control though which is going to frustrate me when trying for faster times and I get the feeling it'd have worked better as a mousey clicky game than a joypad game but still, small criticism indeed as I went and bought more points just for it.

Will add those of you that talk about it for friends leaderboard competitionage.

I quite liked EXIT on the PSP although I found it very repetitive if I played it longer than 30mins or so. It's good to go back to it and play a couple of levels at a time though.

Can you change direction on ladders etc like in the second PSP game or do you have to sit and wait until you reach the top first?

[stainboy]

Yep it lets you change, I find I need to if it looks like someone isn't following me.

Can anyone tell me why the eternal Sonata demo displays all the text in Japanese when I downloaded the demo through a UK gamertag, and all the settings on my 360 are set to English?

The 100 years war demo did this as well.

Is there a workaround?
