Tuesday Roundup
1. Very sorry and shocked to hear about the passing of Chris Benoit. What’s even more shocking is that it was a double murder-suicide. What the hell was going through this guy’s mind? I understand how the WWE had to cancel their live show. However, it’s tough to do a tribute show to a guy that just killed his wife and son, don’t you think?
2. I’m on my third day of trying to download the MotorStorm update. Seriously I don’t have this problem with my Xbox, but I’m supposed to believe it’s my ISP causing the problems? Now that I think about it, maybe I’ll just take it to work and see if I get any luck there. Maybe not, as it’s a pain to unhook. Blech.
3. Filled in the rebate form for the 5 free HDDVDs. I can’t wait.
4. GameStop is running a few pre-order specials worth mentioning: pre order Medal of Honor Airborne and get 400 MS Points. They are also doing a 20% bonus trade in if you purchase Madden or NCAA 08. Of course this brings your total trade in value for Madden 07 to $8.40, but hey, every last dollar counts.
5. I’m selling my Xbox 360 versions of NCAA 07 and Madden 07 together for $27.99 with free shipping if anyone is interested. Let me know.
6. New Xbox.com design goes live after 3PM Eastern time today…I bet you’re exciting, aren’t you.
7. Uhhh. Nothing else. Time for work.

I don’t know if the American update is the same as the European one that I got two weeks ago, but the advice over here was to go online with Motorstorm first (even if you don’t race against anyone. the game still updates itself), and only then go to the PS3 store and download the timetrial mode. I didn’t seem to have any problems downloadng it, though I must admit that the ticker thing in MLB 07 can occasionally be a bit of a pain.
