Xbox 360 Texas Hold Em Dated
July 14, 2006
Finally, a release date has been announced for the Xbox 360 game Texas Hold Em Poker. The game will be available on Aug 23rd via Xbox Live in the Arcade games. Originally, the game was supposed to be available in April and then in May. I think this date will be pretty close as I have been hearing that the game is done, but the lawyers were involved. As usual, the lawyers slow things down. I have heard that the reason lawyers were involved was due to the free nature of the game and the way advertising might be shown in the game. Dont know for sure, but just glad to see a release date.
So, on August 23rd the Xbox 360 finally gets its poker game and the fun begins in the arcade on Xbox Live.
Xbox 360 Sent Off
July 13, 2006
If you remember, my Xbox 360 died last week perhaps caused by a lightning strike, but not sure. Anyways, yesterday the return box from Microsoft was received. We made the UPS guy wait around while we loaded the broken unit into the box and sealed it up. The UPS guy then took it with him. As soon as Microsoft receives it, they are supposed to ship a new one to us. Hopefully, we should get it next week. So that would be about two weeks without the Xbox 360, but still very happy that they are replacing it for free since this Xbox 360 was purchased at launch and is long out of warranty.
