This challenge would be the greatest and cash prize for the winner. I recommend every Madden player should sign up and enter into this Tournament. It's going to be great. BringIt also offers free cash to start off with. ]]> mini http://www.easportsfans.com/forums/blog.php?b=10 im back! http://www.easportsfans.com/forums/blog.php?b=8 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 04:19:18 GMT i am returning to the forum, havent been around in a year or so.

I haven't gotten to play around with it a lot yet, but there are some nice additions.

Netflix works even better now and you can see the title of the movie/tv show your friends are watching if they so choose to enable that feature.

The avatar marketplace is... dumb. Expensive (80 points) for a hat or shirt or whatever is crazy to me. Give me unlockable stuff in games (which is coming) and I will be happy. Just as long as that unlockable is free and we don't have to pay for it after we unlock it.

Any questions about the update, ask away and I will do my best to answer. ]]> octones http://www.easportsfans.com/forums/blog.php?b=6 My wife gave birth http://www.easportsfans.com/forums/blog.php?b=4 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 00:11:51 GMT ---Quote (Originally by lqcb1)--- Congrats that is awesome.

Some great updates coming to Xbox Live within the next month or two. I'll hit on a few real quick.

Netflix
Quote:
Manage Your Queue – Browse the Netflix Instant Watch video catalogue, choose from the most popular movies and genres and add to your queue all from the comfort of your couch – no computer required.
Much needed addition, will make it that much easier to use.
Quote:
Friends Info – Richer information is now displayed in the Friends channel and in the Guide showing what you and your friends are doing.
Wonder what this means? Will it show that you are in a movie party? What movie/tv show you are watching? Could be a neat thing to see what people are watching, but could also be bad for some people as Mr. Tough Guy is seen watching a chick flick.

Avatars
Quote:
Props – You can now equip your avatar with animated items they can carry around and interact with.
Awardables – The ability to earn Avatar clothing and props as rewards within games has been added. Please stay tuned for an update on supporting titles.
So what they promised from day 1, a year ago pretty much, is finally going to happen. This was the thing that got me excited for avatars. The idea is that the avatar will now be another way to brag like your gamerscore. Get that crazy hard achievement that like 5% of all gamers get? Get an exclusive unlockable shirt or animated item. If implemented right this could be cool.

User Ratings
Quote:
User ratings help you find games that other people think are awesome!
Rate it – You can now rate every game on the Xbox LIVE Games Marketplace using a 5-star system.
Sort and Find it – Now you can easily find the games that everyone's been raving about by visiting the Top Rated games in the Browse All category of Xbox LIVE Games Marketplace.
Finally. Will make it much easier to find good content.

Parties
Quote:
Everyone loves to Party! Check out the new and improved Xbox LIVE Party features.
Party Reconnections – If you are accidently disconnected from your party, Xbox LIVE will automatically reconnect you.
Streamlined Party Invites – Invites are now just one click away! No need to click through multiple screens to get all your friends together.
Sounds like those disconnects where you end up in your own party will now have you reconnected automatically. Nice.

The other big stuff like Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm, and 1080p/Zune integration are coming at a later date. Hopefully before the end of 2009!

What do you all think about this update? ]]> octones http://www.easportsfans.com/forums/blog.php?b=3 Hello World http://www.easportsfans.com/forums/blog.php?b=2 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 11:55:25 GMT Welcome to the blog by Josh (octones).

I will be covering many topics in this blog, but mostly it will be sports and video games. You will also find a smattering of technology news and quirky news. Anyone who knows me or plays with me on Xbox Live knows that I am a huge Buffalo Bills and Ohio State Buckeyes fan and that I also love video games in general.

This will be my portal of information that I enjoy and my views on that information.

A little about the author of this blog, I am 27 and just got married on July 3rd. I work a normal daytime job so I can't really post any updates during those hours and lead a relatively busy life so I won't be updating this every day most likely.

Hope everyone enjoys as this gets started. I want this to be fun and interactive. ]]> octones http://www.easportsfans.com/forums/blog.php?b=2
