I have spent some money purchasing Microsoft points and buying some cool arcade games like Trials HD. I was rather bored the other night and thought I’d go onto the game marketplace on XBOX Live and buy a full game from the on demand selection. I remember playing Fable on the original XBOX and enjoyed it overall, I have never tried the sequel and thought it might provide me with a few hours of enjoyment to pass the time.

£19.99 was the displayed price, which I was happy with. I quickly checked the preview and after the video had finished I was going to purchase the download. After the preview had finished the price changed on the summary from the given £19.99 to free. I was thinking for a second that I had been sent to the demo or something so I read through the description and looked around in the tabs and it was the full game.

All this talk of one set of fan boys arguing against another since the beginning of time is just starting to get irritating, especially when both sides are completely wrong. Is Microsoft better? No. Is Apple superior? No. Let me explain the day I have had with trouble from both sides, pathetic problems that shouldn’t even be present.

Windows 7

Okay, so this Operating System is okay, apart from the fact that I received four BSOD’s (Blue Screen of Death) yesturday and today it seems to want to keep bugging me to restart my machine and install updates, which of course… fail. When I do have a chance to actually do something on the machine I get notifications of files being ready to burn to a disc. I haven’t copied any files to be burned to a blank CD and when I go the built-in burning feature (which is crap in itself), it’s blank!

Windows Media Player

I don’t know who oversees the development over at MHQ, but this person must have been either stoned or pissed out their face when he or she approved and released this bad boy into the world. Not only has it got a ridiculous interface, terrible track sorting and not being able to have your songs in a nice tight list is just beyond belief. Importing music? No problem… wait! Where is the import feature? Oh so I need to go and select a destination for music to be automatically updated? Sounds good to me! I’ll leave it there for 5 minutes to update the library.
