March Update 1

Okay, I'm tired as hell at the moment, but it has been 2 weeks so I must update this.

Halo Reach Defiant map pack is coming out March 15th 2011. It'll be 800 MSP.

Gears of War 2 is having 22x EXP this week, not that anyone still plays that game regularly.

Mygamercard.net is shutting down. Why is this important enough to put on the blog? 1. The blog used them. Specifically for combining all our gamerscores to one mega number, Like The Megazord from Power Rangers. 2. It shows just what Microsoft is starting to do to it's fans, due to thier lack of support for fansites and such.

Now, I'm one of the last people to dis Microsoft. I have refused to use Macs unless I absolutely need to. In the Fanboy wars of 05-08, I was on Microsoft's side. However Lately it has been feeling like Microsoft is treating thier customers more like garbage since the recession came.

Lack of cool, original games, Price INCREASES on new product (honestly, besides Limbo, most Recent Arcade games are overpriced by at least $5. And I can Guarantee that the developers aren't getting that), few Price reductions for older product (Nobody plays halo 3, MAKE THE MAPS FREE!), and my favorite, CHARGING FOR DLC THAT IS FREE ON OTHER PLATFORMS FOR THE SAME GAME! You make Kinect, produce no games that haven't already been on the wii (but called something else), and Honestly the Wii versions seem better (it pains me to type that)! How about something like, Mirror's Edge 2 with Kinect compatibility? Kill two problems with one game. Dlc and arcade prices increase, no decreases in prices ever (yes, that happened at one point), Xbox originals servers shut down, a drought of good games (4-5 games last year, all sequels) and what does Microsoft do? INCREASE LIVE'S COST. I pay for a Live service. I shouldn't have to deal with this crap. We shouldn't. Noone should. The only thing stopping me from simply switching to Steam, is I require another RAM card to be able to play without as much lag. At least when they charge me for Data that has no effect on the world what-so-ever, My money goes to a company run by its community and a Fat White Guy, who hasn't hit the tenth digit in his bank acount yet.

Wow, Kind of went on a rant there, sorry. Will I stop going on Live? Well when my Live expires, I'll slow down. Ultimately: no. Just trying to say my disappointment at how Microsoft is acting. By doing what you are doing Microsoft, you have confirmed all the negative stereotypes about you.

Tl;Dr- Microsoft, I am disappoint.

Anyway, It's sad to see Mygamercard.net go. The Xbox Community has lost much.
