Microsoft sent out word that Paperboy will stand in as this week's Xbox Live Arcade release. The classic bike riding hero from the days of yesteryear will return this Wednesday, February 14 at 9 AM GMT (1 AM PST) and can be downloaded worldwide for 400 Microsoft Points ($5 USD).

not bad, not bad! i lika the paperboy!

I absolutely love Paperboy. I was just playing it the other day on my little cousins Gameboy and thinking how I could not wait until it hit XBLA. Sweet it is actually this week. Well, 400 points means already time to buy some new MS points as then they will be gone.

First off, really surprised to see Paperboy weighing in at 49 MB since the graphics are exact and so are the sounds (which the sounds are CLASSIC by the way).

Second off, everyone has those few games that no matter how simple they are you just cannot get the hang of them, and DAMN IT ALL TO HELL, this game is still as hard as it was back in the day when I played it at my local Deli. Seriously, I just truly suck at it. Now I am determined to get good at it.

I was also surprised to see it has CoOp, so if anyone else gets it let me know. (Y)

not you and the deli again heh heh. crap, it's just as hard? man, i forgot all about paperboy it's been so long. will be getting it tomorrow. any Live action haha?

also good to hear they kept it faithful to the original.

:rofl: I know I mention that Deli a lot, but seriously it was truly such a huge part of my younger years. It was only a block away from me, which that block was only 6 houses long, and they always had 4-5 arcade cabinets in the back of it and rotated them quite frequently. Not only that, but I was able to use a Quarter on a string on most of the machines for years. :woot: Then the owner caught me and I was banned for almost a year except to go in and buy the candy Now & Laters since they were right in front. No big deal, as I had an Arcade within bike riding distance, although it was a little risky going there as it was right by the projects. I only got robbed twice though out of all of the times I went there, so it was not all that bad. :pinch: The good old days of video games for sure, putting a Quarter on a machine and saying "I Got Next."

But definitely when you get it, we can hop on Live for sure. I have not tried the Live aspect yet and I am curious how the set it up, but the Single Player is 100% faithful.

for sure arcades were sometimes creepy back then. i had a guy try to hit on me a couple of times at a certain Wrigleyville location that's stay nameless at this juncture heh...yes, we had mostly a super good time, but then it was a hangout for all kinds of people. the old string trick? that deli guy wasn't too sharp if you got away with it for a year.

ok, let's talk again once we're both re-acquainted with the controls and stuff. any good achieves?

    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
    • I remember when Louis used to just do interesting Mac/iPhone repairs, now he's boring and just launches "crusades" every week
    • A shame it don't allow people to bypass the MS account, I will stick to using Rufus.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

    • not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
