Nah, its over here as well. Verizon are covering the costs in the US and there is some kind of football thing going on over here so its free here too.

That Call of Duty 2 content had better be free!

Btw, if you want to see fluidic funbags you need to check out  the Dead or Alive Xtreme Volleyball 2 video.  Its "entertaining" in an adult kind of way... :D

BTW, do we need to kick off a TekForums gamertag thread so we can have some fun together?

People should also checkout http://press.xbox.com  Quite alot of E3 content to download.

Well my gamertag is in sig but if we start a new gamertag thread ill add :)

I played the Lost Planet demo last night and was impressed... thats another game on my to buy list.

Watched the DOA Beach Vollyball video which was just stupidly funny, it only actualy showed a few seconds of vollyball.... I want them to get the game finished and out so the team will start on the new Ninja Gaiden!

Apart from that I never got around to downloading anything else, there was a new trailer for A Scanner Darkly which does look quite good. The book is was of my faves and it looks like they got everything right in the film

I love TopSpin2 but I really cannot believe that a table tennis game is going to work...unless its using that dual 360 camera motion detection dohickey software stuff :p
