It came to GameCube only a few months later!

That's cool if people are able to grab it for free. It was a no brainer purchase for me on 360 when it came out there. It's bonkers that that was 12 years ago!

This.

Also finding out you don't really like Ikaruga due to its weirdly restrictive rhythm game style score mechanics

I don't think it works like that.

However! If you have the ability to buy UK Xbox gift cards, the game is available in the UK store because it is being sold by a different publisher. Now that Microsoft has moved the 360 games to the new backend, you can buy games from any region with gift cards.

drat, Carrion is great but it makes my brain feel gross. It controls so smoothly and so quickly and efficiently introduces the concept of being a disgusting blob monster that I felt kind of hosed up.

i love that by the time of forza 7 they *still* had not learned their lesson and launched that piece of poo poo in an absolutely embarrassing state that was very clearly built around mtx poo poo, and the response was so massively negative that they shitcanned the guy in charge of the game and cancelled forza 8 because 7 was so terrible that they were humiliated by it

Its true in launch window that mtx was required

But while Ryse’s microtransaction model doesn't feel outright malicious, it’s part of a much, much bigger trend with Xbox One games: nearly every single one has some sort of method of getting you to spend money after you’ve already bought the game.
i get wanting to ignore that the xbone launch happened, but mtx in their launch titles was really prevalent

Microsoft published an article about the changes coming to the Store on Xbox One (and Series X) this fall.

Sounds fine and I'm glad they are finally taking these steps to unify the store for buying stuff for previous gens, but god 'Microsoft Store on Xbox' is such an 'Executive vice president in charge of corporate branding' naming of a thing.

On a side note in regards to previous gens, more info on backwards compatibility on Series X please Microsoft. Want to see new titles and more info on the various upscaling, HDR inferring, frame rate doubling features they've teased with some real examples.

This will almost certainly be talked about in the August event.

From https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/phil-spencer-says-more-xbox-news-is-coming-in-august/

quote:

Speaking to iJustine, Spencer said he was “encouraged to be able to talk more” about Xbox Series X’s backwards compatibility features, adding that, “I think in August we will have more to say on that.”

"Safer". So are they actually going to be filtering all the garbage that keeps falling through the cracks? There's a ton of sketchy apps on there, ranging from fake miracle drugs to outright piracy. These all run on Xbox:

Virtual Toon Dancer [HD+] - $50.49 $4.99 (90% OFF, WOW!)
This publisher has flooded the store with lots of identical and overpriced "bikini/dancer apps".

Old Movies Free
One of many, many piracy apps. The app developer claims it only links to public domain movies but upon launch it's very obvious this is not the case. This one links to youtube videos, so almost none of the films will play, but I did manage to get High School Musical 2 working, zoomed and rotated. You can also remove ads for $5, which is a bargain.

Cold Sore Cure Free App with Natural Remedies
This publisher dumps a ton of MLM-style garbage on the store under the guise of "free tips and guides" apps, which then attempt to upsell you on stupid poo poo like type 1 diabetes cures, permanent height gain, etc. I picked this one because it has a particularly appealing thumbnail that Microsoft seems to be totally okay with.

This is a dumb question: I downloaded an .mp3 through Edge into my Xbox’s Edge/Downloads folder. I went to delete it and found Microsoft stopped developing the file manager app a year back. The few 3rd party apps I’ve tried show nothing. Am I now the proud permanent owner of a podcast episode until I factory reset?
