I'm pretty impressed by Xbox Rewards. I've earned 1100 points with them since it launched. The 300 points from Triple Play and 200 points from renewing Xbox Live has given me enough of a boost to afford Minecraft.

I got 800 points last month. Don't think I even did anything* :laughing:

 

Will go towards Sonic 4 Episode 2, or Eternal Sonata.

 

 

* Might have been a promotional thing since I just joined.

I've just checked my balance and see I have the Triple Play points pending.

 

Those went from Pending into my account today, just in time for Minecraft :)

 

Speaking of which, if anyone has never played Minecraft and downloads a trial today, finding it to be a fantastic game... consider the PC version instead. They're about the same price but the Xbox game is beta 1.6.6 whilst the PC game is final release 1.2.5. PC version also has a huge modding/texture community.

 

Just food for thought!

You never played this, Ike?

 

Nope. Been meaning to pick it up but never got round to it. Thought a boxed copy was getting hard to find but Amazon has some copies, might get it from them.

 

Heard some mixed opinions, is it good?

I loved it. The graphics and enviroments are outstanding and the story and characters are very likable. It's short for an RPG, lasting about 20 hours on your first playthrough. But it requires multiple playthroughs if you want 1000G off it, if that's your thing.

Nice, could do with some shorter RPG's :laughing: Will pick it up soon then :)
