MS asks Gold members to "hold tight" as Silver members hit the download button.
Microsoft has apologised this morning for releasing a demo of upcoming rolling collect-em-up Beautiful Katamari that's only accessible by Xbox LIVE Silver members
After Xbox's announcement that there won't be any more backwards compatible games until the release of Project Scarlett, here's a reflection of what could, or perhaps should have been.
Not only would it have been great if Max Payne, Freedom Fighters, Nier, Blur and Lollipop Chainsaw got to become backwards compatible, it also would be great if those games got to have more games come out in their franchises.
Its not as backwards compatibity is dead its just been put on hold so all backwards compatibity game work on next xbox then when its released they will start up again, P.S I did finish Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Burning Earth
Might get the chance when Scarlett comes out. I mean for all games Xbox 360 and Original Xbox. I can dream it happening.
It may look all happy and cutesy at a glance, but when you actually consider Katamari's gameplay, it's actually rather dark. Very dark, in fact.
It maybe disturbing but it's fun as hell and why the Ps4 doesn't have one yet or a Noby Noby Boy 2 is beyond me.
Me too! Since writing this article I've had Katamari cravings so bad. Looks like I'll have to settle with Touch My Katamari on Vita for now. I'd even be happy with Backwards Compatibility for Beautiful Katamari on Xbox!
Katamari forever on ps3 is good too.. psp one as well.. ps2 both games are awesome too
Neil writes "The latest Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale is now up and running, bringing a number of discounts to both Xbox One and Xbox 360 owners. But unless you've recently won a substantial amount of cash on the lottery, chances are you won't be able to justify purchasing each and every game that has been treated to a price cut. So which are the best and which are the worst deals of the week? Let us tell you!"
Looks like someone hit the wrong switch. I thought it was the Silver members who had to wait a week, not the Gold members. Oh man . . . this is too funny.
I'm sure they'll sort it out soon . . . but in the meantime, this is really funny.
Leave it to Microsoft Corporation to issue out an apology for doing something noble. Just like a true tyrant, Microsoft issues out something that can be done on Playstation® Network and give all consumers a chance to demo a game and then strip it away from the gamer. This is like Robin Hood taking away from the rich, giving to the poor and then taking it back from the poor and giving it to the rich again.
Would you like it if your game is downloading at 94% complete and then your online network that you worship decisively takes it away from you? This is destruction, this is pain, this is oppression, this is dictatorship, this is totalitarianism, THIS IS MICROSOFT.
Thankfully Dark Sniper has placed his trust in the superior online portal titled Playstation® Network. Which is the undeniable future which all other competing online services will follow.

Ironic =)
I think part of the idea might be to save load from the servers. It's a lame excuse though as demos should be available for everyone at the same time. Some more free stuff would'nt hurt as well. Packs for older games etc.
I wonder how hard it is to just change its availability from Silver to Gold members.
