Anyone else hate how Bioware/EA are doing pre-orders bonus stuff these days? Feels like you are missing out on something no matter what version you end up getting. Then they nickel and dime you later with the stuff you couldn't get as DLC. Same story with Mass Effect 2. I love that game but man it was hurting my wallet lol. Check out this article on the subject.

Has anybody had problems with the last system update and their console? Mine (the Halo Reach console) handled it fine, however Jason's (which is an older Elite with the Jasper chip when it first came out) has been having nothing but problems. It hardly plays games like LA Noire, Madden 11, Fallout New Vegas, Operation Flashpoint Red River (or whatever it is called) etc.... Now I can play these games just fine on my console. Also he got a disc unreadable message. The main problems are freezing and not reading the discs. Could it just be because it's an older model Elite or could it be the update? We have gotten in contact with support, but have yet to hear anything …

The fun begins on August 22, when eight games—selected by a crack team of XBLIG developers—will be released daily. Following that, two community-selected games will launch starting September 1. Voting begins on the first day of August, and will be taking place at the IGSU Facebook page. Source - [ArsTechnica]

I just wanted to make this thread to say how awesome this game is lol. It's not even about it being "sexy" or anything for me, it's just a really slick game. The fighting system is really smooth and fun. And of course I'm into Japanese things lol, and it definitely has a distinctive, quirky style like you'd see in many animes. Has anyone else here played it before?
