I excitedly got up early today and ran down to my xbox to download the new update! It downloaded really quick as well, so I went to make myself a cup of tea while it installed and then play around with the new features... oh sorry I meant SOME of the new features.

Remember that video showing us all that stuff on the spotlight and new arrivals. Well take away most of the tabs and you have the European version! Free Stuff? The one thing I really wanted to see was completely missing. Japan didn't get it either but still it's a bloody basic feature and why it's missing I have no idea. A bunch of TV tabs, Movie tabs and such were missing as well. Obviously because we don't have the content, and it's just getting old now. I'm really upset with the lack of content European Xbox gamers are receiving.

I've been switching between my British, American and Japanese accounts all morning trying to find why we and the Japanese are missing so much content! I can't explain it. At least with the Japanese marketplace you can download the Blue Dragon Anime for free (if your IN Japan)... we get nothing. What frustrates me more is that technically we do have it (seeing that my American & Japanese accounts pick it up) it's just not being implemented *yet*.

The 'Inside xbox' gave me a boring introduction from our community manager "AceyBongos", not even a video. A crappy vector art of the CM and a small blurb of what's going on. The Japanese inside gave me a nice demo of the buffering system and a small video of their community manager (im guessing).

So what does the American 'Inside Xbox' provide? A fuck ton of information and xbox buffering! Xbox originals! A new demo! Not only do you have more than 1 bloody page, Major Nelson actually shows us the damn updates we just downloaded! That would of been nice you know.. to have that shown to us.. in Europe. Remember EUROPE!?

Update: Movie's will be coming December 11th apparently. About fucking time.

thats what you get for being european
We don't even get the Inside Xbox at all. Stupid Microsoft... I found an ad that listed all the stuff that was in the update, but the damn thing kept giving me errors.
so wait, you don't get Major Nelson? How could Microsoft deprive you guys of that. i feel sorry for teh european market. I can understand the Japanese market, i mean, they have only sold about 50 xbox 360s over there. But, the European market is quite large, and you brits speak fucking English.
I don't think Canadians get the inside Xbox thing either. Kind of stupid, eh?
Yea I'm from Australia and we don't have any Video Market Place like the US do either.

I hate Liencing etc, come on Microsoft don't you want my money?
Eh, the worst thing is, we pay more, and get less.
My dashboard now takes a little while to load (due to not having the best connection in the world) which means even if I don't want to go online, I still have to wait :-(

I say AceyBongos can burn in hell.
REVOLT!!!
Wow, that blows. Does Sony pull this shit too?

so I went to make myself a cup of tea while it installed and then play around with the new features...

Haha, tea...you’re so British. Seriously, though, I’m Indian, and my parents used to drink like four cups a day...I like the stuff too.
Wow you have three accounts! You are such a gamer girl!

;)
@BrOnx - I have no idea. I'm getting a ps3 when I have the spare cash :-)

@Butmac
OMFG GAMER GRRRLLL!!z
They give us all that in one day to compensate for our big american penis.
"Remember EUROPE!?"

"It's that weird country next to Russia, right? Fucking Sony Territory."
Does indeed suck, and whats the point activating the video marketplace for Europe if we have to wait another 7 days? Fucking stupid.

Still, at least the DivX support has finally arrived!!
Divx support is a bonus but i was hoping for some buffering and the inside xbox update thingy...
AMERICAN PENIS

Other penis
Well it could be worse, they could've held it back while they "localised it" usual excuse anyway. Least we know now when the video marketplace will go live, took 'em bloody long enough. Though I don't expect much will be on it.
Oh for fuck's sake.
America, FUCK YEAH!
Lame. I'm definitely not moving in with you now Wardrox.

Why have people not realised we don't want localised bullshit we all want to given the same content and information. We can gather that some info isn't relevent or whateve but who the fuck is aceybongos and why should I give a crap. For the age of connectivity we sure are separated at every chance.

I was really looking forward to that free stuff tab. I can't think why they wouldn't include it.
Just download torrent movies in protest. Divx, baby!

And it's a legal thing, fellas. I'm sure if Microsoft could sell you something they would do it in a heartbeat. Blame it on the government. I've got my flag, gasoline, and some matches. Who's down?
@ Buster:

What you get for being European is free healthcare... this is just a transient collateral effect!! :P
(Nelson laugh) Haa-haa!
@Harkonnen
DONT USE LOGIC :P I WANT EVERYTHINGZ!
Yeah man, I feel your pain, I live in the northern part of Belgium ( the dutch-speaking and economically sound part ), we've been known to have the largest amount of gamers ( back in the days of LANs there would be like 4/5 per weekend in the north and 1/2 per month in the south since they just don't game as much as we do :-)).

HOWEVER, M$ Belgium is in Brussels ( middle of Belgium ) and is apparently ran by a bunch of southern (and thus frenchspeaking ) pigs that have decided that the "official" language of belgium on the 360 should be that vile and miserable excuse of a language french ( which we are required to learn as early as 10 years by belgian law, allthough only the north really adheres to these rules) so we don't just get left out of all the great stuff that is XBOXLIVE, we get FORCED to experience it in FRENCH instead of glorious englisch / dutch... I've got a 'Netherlands'-account so i can get dutch/englisch as languages iso french/englisch...

on this localisation thinghy-though... Why the FUCK don't all these loosers just learn englisch??? Stupid Germans delay stuff with their incessant filtering of all human blood from games and then all the translations that are needed just because the french, italians & germans are too fucking lazy to learn a real language, I mean we play all our games in englisch so just release it here allready and let the winers who want a 'localised' version wait, we shouldn't be punished for the lazy/retardedness of people that coïncedently live on the same continent :-)

just dump all that localising, it brings the quality of the games down anyway, it looks fucking ridiculous to see a CG-movie with bad lipsyncing... ( and I really think Sam Fisher should NEVER EVER AGAIN utter a french word!!! that just sent chills up my spine when i was in France a few weeks back...) everybody is allways saying how ridiculous it is to dub movies, well guess what its identical for games! :-)

STOP LOCALISING STUFF and do global releases! ( It's cheaper that way too! )
