The only problem I have with this is that I despise watching long videos in my browser, so I used a program to buffer and save videos as something I can watching in a media player program. That way I can watch at my leisure and jump around and close it and come back, etc. I can not longer do that. Also, if I don't finish watching the video the first time I'm never going to watch it as I can't jump to where I was. It also means I'm killing my bandwidth every time as it's not stored on my PC.
I feel I need to post something meaningful, so how about a tale about the first WaW map pack? I eagerly downloaded it the day it came out, played it, and everything was great. A few days later, some friends an I decided to play the new zombie map. Then I noticed everyone was speaking French, and all the currency stuff was written with commas, as in "$12,99." I looked in the options, but couldn't find a language option. Then it hit me - I'd purchased the French version of the map pack. How the hell had I done that? I'd bought the default one that was highlighted in the dashboard Spotlight. Well, apparently someone at MS thought "Hey. Canadians are all Francophones, right?" Exhibit A. (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3542/3378499874_3807329b36_b.jpg) See how I've purchased the regular ol' default one at the top? That's the French version. The English version is below that. I did call MS and they wouldn't let me exchange it for the English version. It's not a huge deal, but it is kinda annoying. So heads up Canadians.
