This was a BIG launch for the 360 and as far as the USA team is concerned , they couldn't even muster a majornelson blog post.
He was even late with the tweet announcing that it was actually up!
FAIL!

@Rubbishy Me EXACTLY right!
MS have been desperate to have the Iplayer for years, but they wanted it for gold accounts only, and as the BBC iplayer is funded by the uk tv licence fee payers, that was a non starter.

They are only getting what they deserve in my opinion!
They have been ripping off gamer's for years with their Dick Turpen prices.
E.G: Need For Speed £39.99 NEW
Or
£37.99 PRE-OWNED then you have to buy the on-line code to play as its been used so your pre-owned copy ends up more expensive than the new one!
For by that, EVERYTHING was always RRP/SRP never EVER seen launch deals on games like amazon/shopto do where games will be say £32 mark instead of £39.99.
It's no wonder gamer's have voted with their wallets!
Good buy game you WONT be missed!

Hmmm really the "armed forces" should be doing their job and not spending time worrying about if their going to be able to play a games console when they are away from home!

Robert Bowling jesus does that guy still work at Infinity ward!
It is BEYOND embarrising the state MW2 has got itself into, ALL this time where people have spent dedicated hard earned cash on the game and 1200/$15 on map packs, and they think a little tweet from RB will save the day.
Shameful!

This is the BEST bit for me.......
BBC quote:

Adam's father James bought the Kinect for Adam and his four-year-old and eight-year-old brothers. Unfortunately for the Winnifrith family the warranty on their Xbox expired on 16 December, 2010.

"It's very disappointing. We were planning to have a big New Year's Day party with karaoke microphones and a Take That competition. But now the Xbox is just sitting idle,"

Well there would have been no chance of that happening anyway, as take that have NEVER released any xbox 360 software!

Suddenly the credability of the story goes out the window!!
Ps nice research BBC!

I also remember the early days of the 360, with J at E3, posing with his (down with the kids) cool earring!

Then he just seemed to disappear, think he went to work on the zune.

But his disappearnce, was never fully explained, as was trixie360 who left to have a sprog, and was replaced by the younger laura lollypop, to be the token woman on major nelsons podcast, who is fair game for getting hit on by TOTALLY inappropriate comments from said major and his cronies, stepto, and the vowel-i am-never-wrong-E. Dam that guy has a habit for saying, "now to be clear" & "boom"!

Soz for going OT, rant over!

Jill's only unlocked after the 1st run through.
Took me just under 1 hour, and that was messing around a bit with the passwords!
For 400ms points i suppose, its o............k?
BUT having said that i guess i was just expecting more, its almost like a VERY small chapter, with a boss.
It's criminal the sheer lack of zombies, not even a dog to be seen, would have been a nice retro to res evil 1.
Over all rather underwhelmed, a 4 out of 10.
But again for 400ms points, it's not like your paying over the odds for it!

PS....

Thought I'd post this just incase anybody's interested.

If you investigate the mansion door at the start of the chapter 3 times a question mark will appear and you ll get the old skool fixed camera angle from the 1st RE games to play the game through!

Managed to pre order this when amazon uk had it for £23.39, GET IN!!

Hope the modders on here aint been stupid enough to have their joystiq username the same as their gamertag, and then posting on here their love of modded 360's!
I think more than anything the people on here that do purchase legit games are pissed because they are spending hard earned cash on games, that people are d/loading and playing for free in mins!
Yeh i suppose some modders will try live to see if they can get away with it, but the VAST majority will play their pirated games offline.
The amount of recent single player games and addons on disc that is also on dlc, ie gta4 bogt, means they are still getting these games FIRST and before anyone else, THAT is what pisses me off, as videos of plot/storylines appear on youtube etc, as major spoilers.
And you will hear modders rubbish a game after 20 mins of play, that you may be contemplating dropping £40/$60 on.
I know piracy will NEVER be stopped 100%, but surely the next gen wave of consoles will need to look at making it even more difficult to mod in the first place!
