GTA IV is released today. My only hope is that they still have one left for me…
While I am out buying my copy, here is a taste of things to come. (For Mature players ONLY)
Of course, I’ll be picking up the Xbox 360 Version.
Well, I must say I am pretty impressed. I figured I was going to be a statistic and no longer able to play my XBLA games while Live was down for maintenance. But after one call to Xbox support and only a week gone by, they have resolved this issue to my complete satisfaction. I simply headed over to my download history and “re-downloaded” the content. It didn’t really have to download as it was already there, it simply had to renew the license. But after about an hour of updating (I have quite a few XBLA and DL content) I was back to normal.
I must say that Microsoft has started to get a handle on the DRM issue. I hope you are as successful as I was.
UPDATE* This issue is resolved! Way to go Microsoft.
Well, I’ve finally been bitten by the DRM monster. Just about 3 weeks ago my Xbox 360 suffered the RRoD (aka the 3RLoD) so I sent it in to Microsoft. They were very quick to send it back and I was able to confirm a new heatsink, and replaced DVD drive (BenQ). However, the licensed content on my Xbox that was more that a year old did not carry over. So, I must be signed into Xbox Live to play WIK: Falbe of Souls or some of my Oblivion add-on content. I must say, I am non too pleased. After a call to support (1-800-4MY-XBOX) they are “working on it” and will call me in “the next 30 days.” 30 days? So if my internet is down or I am not at home in the next month, don’t count on being able to play Oblivion
I have spent hundreds of dollars on downloaded content from the Live Marketplace, but I will think twice about it next time. I enjoy being able to use the things I’ve paid for. It is very inconvenient to have to be signed into Xbox Live to do it. Comon’ Microsoft. Get this fixed!
