Contra is this weeks XBLA release

Mon, 2006-11-06 21:03 — Tomacco

After missing out on a real game release last week, MS will be hoping to make it up to us by releasing the highly anticipated retro classic, Contra. Coming out for 400 points, we will be able to play an updated Arcade version of this game, complete with the "code".

Note that it is also the first chance we will have to test out the new "Automatic Download" feature released last week.

You can check out the Gamerscore Blog post about this here.

I used the Auto download

I used the Auto download feature once already... I had never downloaded Mortal Kombat, and when I switched on the auto downloads, the first thing my xbox did was download it. Thanks, Xbox. So I played the demo once and then deleted it. yay.

Anyhow, the auto download feature is nice in some ways, but how much time is it really saving me vs how much time it costs me to delete the games I didn't want in the first place?

-Pondering turning the feature off.

It's good for me because I usually download everything but only buy the ones I like (the majority of 'em)
