Yeah, I loved the NFL Head Coach for the original Xbox, so finally got around to buying NHL HC 09 back in May. Spent hours yesterday going through the off-season. Currently in the middle of preseason. May some huge gains on defense in free agency.Quote:

:D That's what happens when trying to post at 1:30 in the morning.Quote:

And thanks to around 50 million in cap space, I was able to make some big improvements to the team through Free Agency. Picked up Jordan Gross at LT (21 OVR upgrade), Justin Smith at RE (16 OVR upgrade), Michael Boley at LOLB (14 OVR upgrade), Lance Briggs at ROLB (24 OVR upgrade).
Picked up Asante Samuel for my CB2 and Randall *** for CB3 behind Champ Bailey (CB2 was Dre' Bly at 77 and had no one for CB3) to give my CB corps a huge improvement. Also got Eugene Wilson to take over at FS1 in the future for John Lynch as he's going to potentially end up as trade bait this first season or will probably retire within a few seasons due to age. And still have around $10 million left in cap space. So already off to a great start.
I might have to give it a whirl again though I really need to finish Catherine first. I'm so close to beating it, I just haven't taken the time to finish it yet (mainly, because it's VERY hard now as I'm on the last few stages and they take some serious thought to actually beat).
There is a game coming out on XBLA in 2012 called The Splatters :D :D :D

Wow. I read an article a few minutes ago where a bunch of people were having random points show up in their Live accounts. I go online to look and see that I've had 1,560 MSP added randomly to my account, so I hurried up and bought From Dust in case it's a mistake. I'd check it out at the very least as lots of people are reporting similar additions.
Running to XBOX.com right now :DQuote:

It's a definite mistake, so I'd use them immediately. I even figured out what they did by looking at my statement. I had 260MSP coming to me because of the rewards program, and for some reason, they added 260MSP to my account 6 times. :D

What rewards program?
I'm guessing that's it....Mors did you not join XBOX Rewards? I bought From Dust with it too :D problem is I still have 2900 points left...so I could get the screws.Quote:

Yeah, same here. I'm just a shade under 800, I believe. It's a nice little program considering I would've bought all the stuff anyway.Quote:

Bahaha, Microsoft Fail! :D
Problem is MS could be a dick since I have 3160 sitting in there....and drop it to 1960.Quote:

If you think about it, it's a pretty huge ass mistake, assuming it happened to all the rewards members. It equates to about $15 per person, and you're talking at least a million or two people...Ouch.
Thanks for the heads up on it :)
According to Joystiq, Microsoft is "investigating."
