I feel pretty much the same. That said, I haven’t touched GeOW2 for more than a week now, LBP is keeping me very happy and very busy.

I used to be a very pro 360, but it is BS like this that makes me regret my purchase. The sad thing is this is only a taste of things to come, as more and more games start including these unlock codes to get people to buy new. The 360 owners in this county are going to be shafted. Instead of bringing Live to use like they say they would the situation is only getting worse and worse.
I for one will only be importing all my Xbox360 games and then only the exclusives I want. I have a PS3 so everything else I will get on that, graphical disparity be damned.
If I knew this is what the Xbox situation would be like back in November 06 I would have rather waited for the PS3 and put all my energy into that.

I will not be buying the next Xbox.

They are marketing the X360 to the tune of “if you are not online you do not have anything” even a large percentage of the games have online achievements which you can not access unless you are on live, the NXE is pretty much only about making the live experience better. So why sell the XBox in a country that does not have live? Should we all return ours to MS and demand our money back?

wowowowow i think i know now why PS3 is catching up to X360 its not hardware failure.. well not entirely but the meer fact that most 3rd world countries (like ours) .Dont have Xbox live support yet, and Sony already recognizes they’re country and dont have to pay a damn thing to log on and play where MS charges you. And in cases like this where we dont have Live or a local server we end up last with DLC penaltes because MS doesnt wanna take the chance of giving us Live. One would think its obvious that when we get Live sales will grow by 15% because of being able to play online then

Gazza, I’m pretty certain they are on the disc already and the code is just an unlock – When you cycle through the maps in the lobby you can see them and a logo pops up as “unavailable” or something.

Problem would be that the code needs to authenticate against Live.

Thing is as Doobiwan says these maps are a feauture of the game, they could be played offline via system link in horde and so forth, its too bad the content is not just unlockable on teh disc itself.

I already moved to Linux, maybe it is time to put the box behind me as well.

I’m gonna play some PS3 now, on my legal, South African, PSN account…
