Yes, please. And while they're at it, perhaps they should get their heads out of their asses and decide not to screw over the rest of the world by charging outrageous prices using wrong currency convertion conventions! Look at what GOG:com did - they charge the same price in dollars regardless of where in the world you live, and as a result, I've spent a shit-ton of money on their store.
 
If Sony or Microsoft did that, I would most likely be their best customer

More like different prices.
I really don't see why I have to pay more than 50$ for something you get for 20$.
 
I hate regional pricing.

Hopefully nobody gets angry for bumping old stuff, but I've added you on Xbox. My Gamertag is StanchGryphon38. I don't have Gold at the moment but am planning on getting it soon
 
Also, anybody else feel free to add me

Okay, so I recently bought an Xbox 360 S and supposedly it came with 1 month of free Live Gold. But I can't find it anywhere?
 
I'm using an account I already created months ago on Windows to play GFWL games, and am now also using on the 360, but surely that can't have anything to do with it?

@CenturionCajun: Then I really don't understand why they don't take an approach like Steam and use the fact that there are fewer expenses to lower the prices enough for it to be a viable alternative to retail copies. 
Charging full retail price for something that isn't retail is ludicrous

My gamertag is StanchGryphon38 (auto-generated. I haven't bothered to change it yet). I'm totally new on the Xbox, and would love to have some GB friends to compete achievements against, or maybe even play some co-op every now and then?

Hey. I just bought an Xbox 360 S, and am now looking to build up a collection of nice games. Since I'm a cloud person and loathe having too much physical stuff clutter up my small apartment, I was delighted to see that there seemed to be a download service for Xbox Live.
 
But what's up with those prices? I was looking at the first Dead Rising game. According to  this link it's 19.99$, which I found decent enough, but as soon as I tried to buy it, it changed it to my local currency and to 299 DKK - that's around 55$!
 
What the hell man? How can they charge full price for a years old game?
 
I'm not trying to mindlessly rant here, I'm just trying to understand the logic behind the 360 pricing, since I'm new and all.
 
Is the Games on Demand thing worth anything, or should I just forget about it?

I wish. Unfortunately, the Danish GameStop page sucks huuuuuuuuuge balls. I can't find shit there. Otherwise, I'd totally be up for these pre-owned games things.

So far, my top is
1) Shadow Complex
2) RISK: Factions
3) Banjo-Tooie
4) Divinity 2: Ego Draconis
 
Why? Because those are the only four games I've got, lol. Bought the Xbox last monday. Now I'm looking for good games, but the Marketplace is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE

Hey all.
 
I'm looking for that one I Love Mondays segment in which it only repeated the intro over and over again, because apparently that week the crew were busy doing something else.
But I can't find it - do any of you know where it's at?
