Does it still take ages for all the arcade games to display in the games blade?

I need some cool present ideas to get my mum and dad, they don't have any hobbies or anything so are impossible to buy for.. any suggestions?

I'd really prefer some HD tv shows on there though. Hopefully the new year will bring this sort of thing once BBC and ITV get their shit together.

DiRT was the first game I've ever rented and not played before I sent it back. Sound weird I know but it arrived the day Colin died in that helicopter crash and it felt wrong to sit there playing it.

It's the thing that pops up when you press the guide "xbox" button.

Full feature list: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemupdates/20071204-features.htm

My favourite feature of the update: If this is true, and the guide is nice and speedy again I'll be happy.

Winamp Remote is easy to use too.

Hmm I thought they were. Could be wrong though.

The music when you turn into Ice Mario is a bit annoying, other than that, the music is fantastic.

Quite a lot of sequels were dissapointing compared to the originals: Super Mario Bros Metroid Metroid Prime Zelda But after the critisism the developers realised what parts of the original were most liked and released the third game more in keeping with the original. Fingers crossed that happens here too.

I've got some cardboard circles you can buy... and i'll vacuum seal them for you if you like. 100 quid.

The Zapper isn't for us though really, it's for young kids and the oldies who bought a Wii for Wii Sports. Anyone who is employed to review games will hate it as it removes precision, anyone who feels stupid holding a wii remote to shoot things will find it enables them to play. I'm lookiong forward to playing RE with this thing, me with a normal remote and the lass with the zapper.

Mario and Sonic in.... each other. It's a love/hate thing.

Do you mean the BT Homehub? Cos mine works fine with Vista

It's all a bit solemn and slow at the moment, not much spectacle. Hopefully it's just building atmosphere.

Anyone's arrived today? I want to know whether it's worth goinghome at lunchtime to check.

Mine's been shipped from Game, which is weird as I don't remember ordering it!

Just buy them off me! 5 quid each!

Mine's processing from shopto.net, recorded first class delivery so it should be here tomorrow!

In my experience, if a story is posted then removed, it's true but they don't want to announce anything yet. If a story is posted and it's not true, microsoft release a statement that it's not true and the story is kept up with an update stating that it's not true. Could be different this time but it sounds like something they'd do to be honest.

A little too much shooting in it for me. I've got plenty of shooters and wanted something with a few more platforms and puzzles along the way. I hope the final version is like this.
