SF2 is 800 points (overpriced and goes against everything the cheap live arcade stands for imo), i think cloning Clyde is 600 and the namco retro stuff will be 400 points

Because I can't play it on my pc using my 42" plasma, the pc doesn't have online high score tables, (so I can more easily compete with mates) or online play, or achievement points, or a comfy sofa

XBox live seems to generate a lot of anti-americanism (?)

I was in a Burnout lobby a couple of weeks ago and the other players, all english (apart from a Scouser who kept telling the americans his accent was that of a German), kept getting an American into the room then launching the game before they could quit and seeing how many races each one lasted due to the torrent of abuse they received.

United States of Ar5eholes was a common jibe.

Different story today, Was getting some abuse off some American gimp,I retorted that I had a family to look after so could not waste my life 24/7 on xbox live. He then starts on what he would like to do to my family,which I will not repeat

This was more along the lines of I will kill your son and f#ck your wife insults. Maybe its because I have only been a dad for 5 weeks but I would love to rip the little ***** pre pubescent nuts off

Also has been sending txt messages to me since. have asked the **** to talk face to face but he declines now

It seems to be the standard insult to fkkk yr mother sister etc, simply mute them and let them waste their time thinking they are insulting you. It will wind them up more if you dont react

You can file complaints against people - If someone gets a set amount they get their live account suspended for a while - post up the gamertag and we can all send him some crap.

As for the "we'd all be german if it wasnt for them" - you should have asked if he liked sushi and where uncle Osama wants his next plane parked up.

Yeah, they wouldn't have country if it weren't for us, majority of americans are british decedents from the pilgrims who left Southampton.

And if i remember rightly it was Spitfires that started the fight back not Mustangs......they were to busy getting blown up at pearl harbour

Like Messiah said, post his Gamertag and we'll all report him, there is a good 50 people on the Gamertag list thread, that should **** the little **** over for a bit.

Perfect excuse to upgrade to wireless, get the GF to buy the adaptor, as thats what her dog ruined, she won't know the difference if she's like mine, which will just leave you to buy the router
