Im at 7 orders, only got 3 fulfilled 1 day after the original 4 i ordered. I placed my first order on October 24.

Not sure if at this point im just a sucker for still earning the points and placing orders, but i got a small ray of hope that maybe it will EVENTUALLY happen.

I'm in the same boat. I still keep doing the searches hopeing that the logjam will clear and they'll give me all my missing points. The first few I got within hours of submitting. My earliest submission was 5 days ago and I haven't gotten anything. I sent an email and nothing. Kind of frustrating, but hey, I got a few free points out of it anyways.

Why can't the downloadable content not be released on discs aswell like normal add-ons? We don't use Xbox Live and cant download any added content, so there is alot we are missing out on ie. Dragon Age, Mass Effect ect.:cry:

Sometimes the DLC is released on "Game of the Year" editions - like Oblivion and Dragon Age.

The primary reason they don't release DLC is to make money off of used game sales.

I didn't hate it, but it is definitely my least favorite FF, and the first one I never got around to beating.

I couldn't stand the leveling system. I prefer the old school method of picking the team members based on characteristics (black mage, red mage, fighter, monk, etc.). In 12, that was thrown out the window and everyone could be everything. That was boring. I think that X had the best system of them all with the sphere grid. Each character had unique weapons, and started at a different place on the grid. There were special spheres that allowed you to jump around if you wanted an extra magic user or something, but that character would generally be weaker in that aspect.

The story was ok, the graphics were great, and I like the combat system a lot. The only thing I never understood with the combat system was the chaining thing. I don't think I pulled off a single one of those the whole game.

Same here. Too bad they went the MMO route with KOTOR. I'd much rather have another well-crafted single player game.

Yep, they are instant, so whenever you get them they appear. Other people won't be able to see your achievements until you log into XBOX Live though.

Maybe not with the current generation of hardware. There is a bit of lag between you doing the movement, the camera picking up the movement, and then processing that movement. Granted, that lag time is pretty small, but that quarter-second is too much for any sort of run and gun-type games.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

You'll also need to agree to new terms of agreement before logging into Live.

The first Borderlands was one of my favorite games for the XBOX.

If there is a sequel, I hope they do something to adjust the multiplayer aspect. If playing with friends with a large level difference, the game was either impossibly difficult or boringly easy depending on who was hosting it. That made it not so much fun to play wit other people.
