though unfortunately not available in Europe.

I'd like for itto be even without the prizes, though then I guess there wouldn't be that many playing for long.

How hard can it be to launch the game shows with prizes in europe anyway. The gameshows all run here anyway (mostly at least)

December the 4th, look back on this post when its released and you'll see I know my stuff :)

Personally, I doubt they have a solid release date right now, just a general timeframe for when they want to release it -- e.g., a 10-day frame or so. But I will come back when it's released and give you your props/non-props :)

I think they'd ideally like it out November as if they market it and the new functionality it could sell some consoles so better sooner rather than later when it comes to XMas. I'd say late Oct to early to mid November. I'm guessing they will tell us when it's happening a week or two out from it happening.

We're not getting netflix streaming either I don't think? And god knows what else.

Avatars hopefully >_>

I was always led to believe that we'd be getting Primetime, but we wouldn't be getting the regular 'shows' that came with real prizes. I dunno, maybe it's just me. Kinda annoying if we don't get Primetime, but it wouldn't bother me too much as I don't pay my ?40 a year for virtual game shows now, so I wouldn't expect to start in the future.

Might be, they haven't really expanded on it much beyond saying we won't be getting the TV shows. I hope we'l begetting them without prizes and thepossibility of getting on the actual TV show. but I'm not holding my breath.

Why cant the prizes just be digital anyway if physical prizes isn't viable. Free points or XBLA games or whatever.

I'm guessing like with music and movie/tv series downloads it's a licensing issue.

TV channels in different countries owns the rights to thw shows and their subsequent merchandising in their country, and thus they can't just release the games there. and if they where to license they may have to make the host character a virtual version of the host in that country and such.

So give us a cheap knock-off, like 1 vs 99.

Scene It is coming out on the 28th, doesn't this game use avatars? Would be nice to get the update this month. :cool:

Hmm.. thats a good point... would be strange to release the first NON-xbla game that supports avatars before the use of avatars are available.... I think you may be onto something Mr. Gil....

Because one feature isn't making it here? :blink:

Jeez what's your opinion on Nintendo these days then :p

Not *as* excited. I'm still excited, but it does pour cold water on the situation a little.

We're not really getting any of the "New XBOX experience" as good as the Americans get it, which sucks. Sure, the interface change is great, but it's kind of like the difference between a 60GB Launch PS3 and an 80GB current PS3. Sure, the PS3 is awesome, but I don't get the awesome extras like the memory card reader and the backwards compatibility, which puts a bit of a downer on things. There's the avatars, which well, is hardly 360 Home, is it?

The Liscencing issues can hardly be that big considering 1 Vs. 100 has been around in the UK for ages, and why can't they offer the UK equivalent of the Netflix service? Like using LoveFilm?

360 GTA4 Hard drive vs DVD loading speeds

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/275585.html

On a somewhat related note, any word on the texture/object pop-up issues in GTA 4 when installing?

Personally I haven't had these issues which I think comes down to my drive being BenQ, though I have heard a ton about it and my friend's 360 ( I sold him my first one ) suffers from it.

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
