More MMO's coming to 360's?

Yeah, everyone knows about the Marvel MMO coming to 360, but now Microsoft just announced that Dragon Ball online will be coming to 360.

Also, the WoW 360 rumors still run rampant to this day. Frankly, I don't want MMO's on my 360 because I'm tired of hearing "Soz, can't play Gears. I have a raid on Phantasy Star." Since PSO is one of the DUMBEST MMO's ever, I don't know what to think when WoW gets a hold of 360 owners brains. Maybe if there was no monthly fee... So people wouldn't feel obligated to play it and get their moneys worth, ya know?

Bah, no more ranting. One of these days I'm going to write a blog without complaining. Yeah, that'll be the day.

Capcom to bring more games to XBLA/PSN

Capcom recently announced that they will be focusing more on digital distribution. Hit the link for the full story.

Is anyone else excited as I am? I am a HUGE Puzzle Fighter fan, and Street Fighter is arguably my favorite game series of all time. Plus with redone graphics? I'll give both of these a buy, since my 1600 point card I got free from Circuit City when I bought Guitar Hero 2 definately isn't going towards those overpriced song packs.

Speaking of that, apparently I'm not the only one upset about this. I'm gonna get off of that topic, though.

I'm also excited for Rocketman. Capcom is one of my favorite game publishers, so I always watch what they release. I'll probably write a review after it releases.

One last thing before I go. Has anyone had a problem with their 360's breaking because of the Guitar Hero patch? Mine works fine. I can't say I'm happy with my whammy bar though. It still isn't perfect.

But whatever. I'll just keep playing Gears of War for now. Although I keep getting stuck on walls because of the new patch...

Guitar Hero 2 song packs released.

Major Nelson just announced that the first three song packs have been released on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Wow. Does anyone else realize that this is $6.25 a pack? That's $18.75 for NINE SONGS! What ridiculous pricing. First Microsoft won't allow Epic to release the Gears maps for free and now this?

Microsoft is showing themselves to be really money hungry. I hope they don't go the way of Sony.

I'm really disappointed, though. I bought the game for the 360 because I was expecting 400 points for ten songs. Maybe even 800 points. But 1500 points for nine songs is ridiculous.

And when I saw "Hey You" and "Infected" were on the list (when I didn't expect either of them to be) I jumped for joy. Too bad.

Think about it. 90 bucks for a guitar and game. 60 bucks if you want an additional guitar. Plus 6.25 for every THREE SONGS that are released. And I thought Rock Band was going to be pricy.
