Hi im eastern time and was curious as to what time do you think they will release the game on xbox live....I know they usually do it at a random time like 4 in the morning but if anyone knows much appreciated

You can usually expect XBLA titles to show up at approximately 5 AM Eastern Standard Time. Thats not set in stone, but its the typical time barring any techincal difficulties or other issues.

Well Warp was released around 9am GMT last week, so probably late morning ish.

Ill be waking up early in the morning not for Alan Wake, but for my Vita. I've already completed AWAN, so now its time to get hyped for the Vita :D

I purchased points for the game last night, I had a balance of 600 already I purchased another 800 (becuase you can only purchase in 400 point increments) so I'm currently 200 points over the needed amount. Waiting to make microsoft give it to Remedy :)

400 increments!? Over here (Sweden), it's in 500's. 400 increments would be totally awesome. :)

currently browsing eBay for a black & white plaid shirt btw. ;)

This is a bit random, but with the 200 extra points I recommend getting both Cthulha Saves the World and Bloody Checkers. Trust me, you won't regret it.

If anything like the DLC, should be popping up on the Microsoft website within the next hour.

LOL, no hard feelings at all. I'd say it's a 50/50 split between dedication and nerdism :p

The Dash updated a short while ago here in the UK, with new ads & vids appearing etc, but AN is still listed as "coming soon" *le sigh* :(

Still, at least I've got some more vids to watch that I'm not actually interested in :lol:

EDIT
Griffle
You have the trial version appearing? I've got nothing here, only the option to rate the game.

well, it does appear, but it's not like you can download it or anything.

...but it's a sign that they are indeed uploading as we speak.

Page still won't let me download the trial. I click and nothing happens. What are you guys doing to get it to accept you want to download something?

Griffle
02-22-2012, 08:48 AM
You buy the game from xbox.com. Don't know about the trial though...

Maniac
02-22-2012, 08:50 AM
I really didn't want to fork over my 1200 points on the website, I figured get it to download the trial and I could just purchase the game through the trial but when I clicked trial version the page refreshed but nothing happened and nothing added to my dl queue.

Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer.

Click on the link that Griffle posted. Purchase the game at Xbox.com, then download it on your 360 :)

EDIT
Oh right, I see you don't want to do that yet.

Griffle

Relax,Maniac,I won't buy it through the website too.Once I bought Mortal Kombat Arcade Collection through xbox.com and didn't get it to my xbox. Microsoft support eliminated the problem...but I had to wait almost a month.

It's no biggie, I'm fine with staying up till it shows up on the marketplace. My video hasn't even finished encoding yet, I still have to embed it on my site once it finishes.
