Yea seriously, I noticed that too when messing around with the new dashboard. Just seems like that description is something new to this dashboard, and Microsoft just forgot to take the place holders out.

I think I like "Sell Decription?" best on Farcry...

At least their honest at this point. "How the fuck am I supposed to sell this? Umm, you jump around an island and shoot... bang bang."

I saw those too. I didn't think much more of them than 'wow, that was lazy.'

You think that's bad? You should see the Dutch Red vs Blue episode descriptions.

Their basically the English descriptions run through babelfish or Google Translate.

I never knew that Church is an actual church!

In UK:

Under Amped 3 it says "Sell Text"

The genre for Chromehounds is "test"

Under F.E.A.R : "Just buy this game and have fun." LOL

NFS Most Wanted: "Sell Text"

Ninety Nine Nights: "The ninety-ninth night is coming" eww

Quake 4: "download new maps" wow.


Those are all the highlights not mentioned, i'm quite bored as you can tell.

It would be better if the descriptions were more accurate:

"Decent graphics but the game is terrible"

"Bargain title but still smokes every PS3 title to date"

"Fun on LSD but pretty lame otherwise"

DOA4 certainly is "stimulating", that's for sure.

I think it's the case of a random description field that devs have to include to get the game certified, and the default probably is labeled "Sell Text".

So people just wrote some sort of random junk assuming no one would ever see it, since it hasn't been utilized until now.
I don't remember what crackdowns description is, but i remember seeing it and thinking it was something stupid.

I remember seeing quite a lot of funny descriptions like that the day of the update. IIRC chronehunds has "test" as it's genra for US regions. I also created a Japanese and European account today to download the Eternal Sonata demo as well as any other JP/UK only demos and noticed on my Dutch account that some games had the description "Somebody Translate This!"
