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.
Destructoid, hello. I'm Lauren - but most of you will know me as

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.

I was really looking forward to that free stuff tab. I can't think why they wouldn't include it.
(# 22) on 12/04/2007 11:37
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?

What you get for being European is free healthcare... this is just a transient collateral effect!! :P

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! )
