The only 'sensible' suggestion i can think of is....

Dave's much wanted and often speculated WHISKEY MEDIA MEMBERS STREET PARTY

Paaaaaaaarrrrrrrrttttteeeeeeeyyyyyyy

or maybe a more legal compromise - like a mini-PAX style Whiskey event

I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere in this topic, but...

regular Game users should also remember their loyalty points... i recently had accumulated just over £40 quids worth of points, and seeing the writing on the cards for these guys, i decided to cash the whole lot in ASAP... i used them all to purchase Sydicate... so i effectively got the game for free.

i'm sure there are many customers out there that have similar amounts of reward points, who don't realise they will effectively lose money they are owed once this company goes under

Ahh man... JSR was not nearly as good as JSR-F... I'd definately buy JSR-F, but hated JSR

I always thought the "upcoming" timetable was actually linked to the articles.... Assuming the articles were complete and published... and would go 'live' at the appropriate time (something that can be done with many blogs - such as Wordpress)

Apparently this cannot be the case... as late or just straight up vanishing articles is happening more and more.... makes the "upcoming" pretty useless joke TBH

I saw this story crop up on a few gaming blogs over the last few days... and was immediately baffled as to why this game in particular was suddenly held up as the poster-child for this "pricing difference" issue

This has been going on for YEARS... with just about every cross platform downloadable game released

I have ALWAYS bought my downloadable games on Xbox rather than PS3 for exactly this reason, because i've always been aware that the Microsoft points system works out at an average of £3 to £5 cheaper per game

I honestly do not understand how this story isn't all over the national media...

When you look back at the outrage of the Playstation Network hacking scandal it seems incredible, that (in retrospect) it turned out that NOBODY on PSN actually became a victim of any sort of fraud... yet it was all over the media, as well as the FBI and various countries governments getting involved....

Yet here, with regards to Xbox Live... there IS genuine fraud happening, and HUNDREDS (if not thousands) of loyal customers are losing thousands of dollars.

Microsoft are laughably passing the buck on this to the consumer, basically portraying them a stupid victims of "phising scams"

THIS IS NOT THE CASE.... if it was, then why is it not also happening (in these huge numbers) to PSN & Steam users... HUH, answer me that Microsoft!

So by now it's clear, that i am slightly vexed about this whole story.... and with good reason.

Just before Christmas, my son became just another in a long line of victims.... he switched on his console to find the 2200MS Points he just added days before had entirely been spent on FIFA rubbish (luckily he uses scratch cards and does not have a credit card assigned to his account)

Now when i say 'my son'... don't imagine a naive 10 year old who clicks on any old link he receives in a spam email, or inputs his account details into any website that asks for them.....

My son is 19 years old and currently doing a university degree in computer languages, he would be able to spot a phishing scam better than most - So when he tells me he absolutely has not handed his account details to anyone, i know he's telling the truth.

Yet somehow, someone without these "vital" access details, has somehow got into his account

It should be as clear to Microsoft.. as it is to everyone this has happened to, and all the blog evidence is pointing to... that..

MICROSOFT HAS SOME FORM OF SECURITY BREACH... which appears to be of absolute common knowledge in the Eastern Bloc (where all the profits of this fraud are being passed around easier than stolen mp3's)

@DefAde: The problem described in this thread occurred started and ended today. It sounds like you have another problem that's affecting a subset of users that I haven't been able to track down yet. :(

Oh right... Well it's a very weird random bug, i've no idea what causes it.... Sometimes i can use the site totally fine as per normal... then randomly i'll get a page (normally the homepage) where i'll have to keep spam-ing the refresh button about 10 times in a row before the images decide to load

Can't remember the exact day it started... maybe last week... maybe the week before

EDIT: - I feel it maybe some sort of cache issue, where sometimes the browser is not pulling the images from cache - and it's definitely only Whiskey sites i'm having this issue with :(

Oh... is (maybe was) this a site issue...?

...because this has been driving me mad for a week or so.... and it started just after i upgraded my browser... I use Opera... I totally assumed it was a browser issue due this starting right after the browser upgrade

I'll keep an eye on it and see if it still does it... I've noticed images also seem to no longer appear (load in) until you scroll down the page... which i really don't like!

Whiskeyquests twitter says it's live.

I can confirm this, I got one of the answers! It's definitely live! lol

So are we looking for concepts or games?
