Fifa 10 is now available and I've heard that they will be cracking open the boxes on Smackdown VS Raw 2010 later this evening as well.

TGIF

Ricky - Are you burning games now? Sorry I've been so busy the last week to get back to you.

Thanks for the heads up on FIFA. My brother has been waiting to play me. Came in the UK a couple weeks ago. If there's other FIFA players here, let's start a thread and play some matches...

ETA: Borderlands is also out today at 7-11

Does 7/11 normally release games before the street date? I'm tempted to get the new Smackdown vs Raw since it looks like they finally added a lot of new features.

Yep I finally remembered enough to get started. I found the 7-11 you use and now am also a member there and then found the newsgroup you use and am a member there as well. NBA 2K10 was my first game and I got it today. Had to download a program called Quickpar after some errors extracting the files popped up. I followed a tutorial on that and it fixed my issues so my first burn went through without a hitch this afternoon.

No problem on being busy - I knew you would get to me when you could. Just remembered enough to do it myself finally lol.

Now that quickpar is installed, you just need to get Grabit. Plug in newsgroup server, user/pass and you're good to go.

For cheap NZB catalog, use NZBMatrix. 10 for life with 365 days of retention, I believe. They are usually pretty good with posting most everything of interest.

Also good to hear your writer appears to work well with 360 games. I was hesitating recommending anything. I know a lot of older drives need to be flashed to allow bitsetting, but if you are up and running with your new drive, that is great.

I keep seeing alot of talk on the NZBMatrix forums about Wave 4 games and such. And I've saw several people get banned from the 7-11 for going in early to get games - especially it seems Forza 3.

I'm going to give FIFA a run, although 09 lasted about 3 hours for me. At least with 7-11 I can return opened games for a cash refund, minus the $2 restocking fee.

If you play a game made my Microsoft 3 weeks early, you get what you deserve.

How can you get banned for playing a game sold through an actual store?

from the article.....

"Don't worry folks, anyone who bought a copy early is ok. In general, if you got a receipt, play away. These are illegit copies we're hitting," Toulouse tweeted around 4:15 pm. U.S. Pacific Time.

be alright after release date?

I don't know about that. I would probably hang tight for a few days and watch the message boards. There have been suspect early copies that were different from the final through the years (Saints Row 2, etc). Perhaps after release we'll see another release.

One theory has always been MS planted copies, but not sure I believe that. I don't think I'll put either in my system till we get more info.

Strange it's gamertags and not console bans like we see when that ban hammer hits. Probably just adding them to the list for the next time they do widespread banning for altered machines.
