I can’t figure this one out:

My kids are out of school for the Summer and I want to keep them entertained. As you all know my kids are gamers (just like their Dad). Recently they are really enjoying the Arcade titles that MS has been releasing. I, as a parent, don’t mind purchacing them because I get to play them as well. However, now there are issues with who gets the 360 when Dads home.

Solution:

Buy another 360! Right? Hmmm… It’s not that clear-cut. If I have a second console for my kids; then what happens to all the Arcade games I own? Do I call MS everytime I buy a game now to let them know my other gamertag isn’t getting it? Do I purchace each game twice for the same household? Do I recover my Gamertag each time I go to my kids console? Do I really wan’t to bother with any of these choices?

I know that this may seem trivial but:

Itunes lets me share my music througout the home. I can rent a DVD from Blockbuster and any set with a player can watch it. Even TIVO lets me leap-frog my programs to other TIVO players. GAMEtap lets you have up to six accounts. So why do we have to hop through hoops to play TMNT?

With all of these issues I am really pondering telling the Kids that paying for one account and one game at a time is enough. If anyone can tell me an antidote for this please clue me in. I will discuss it on the next cast. Keep in mind I don’t want to make a phone call, re-download my gamertag, or do anything that takes real effort to play a game I’ve already paid for. I think buying two consoles with two GOLD memberships tied to the same VISA card is proof enough that I have the right to play the game no matter where I am sitting.

Now a couple weeks ago when the new dashboard update came out, one of the things that MS was touting was the brand spanking new Marketplace blade that was added to the dashboard. The new blade allowed Xbox users to quickly find the newest TV shows, Movies, Themes, Picture Packs, game downloads and more. But with all this content available one thing in particular seemed to have been forgotten or neglected a little bit. And what has been neglected you ask, its anything free. And in this case the users of Xbox Live and the Marketplace are speaking. Here at XBL Radio we have talked about this on our podcast and on our Video Minute and now it seems that the average joe is asking for it too. MS what we want is a quick and easy way to find items that are available for free on the Marketplace. We want a link, or button, that lists all free content, the same way there is one that shows us the top download movies, or newest downloadable content for our games. So what is it going to take? Is it going to take a few hundred people to add there gamertag to this link in your forums? Is it going to take other websites joining in spread the word? Now this can not be to hard to add a shortcut the Marketplace blade, its has to be a whole lot simpler them growing our friends list or adding group chat. So Microsoft if your truly listening to the community, please let us know what your going to do.

What is the one of the biggest holidays of the year? Memorial Day. What’s so cool about it? Well, while many people like it because of the 4 day weekend or because it signals that summer is near, Memorial Day is a day that we are to remember all those that gave their life fighting for this country and what they believe in. This day is also about thinking of those that are risking their lives overseas every day. So here at XBL Radio, we decided to hold a game drive for these awesome and sometimes forgot about troops.
