Sadly it appears that the two games that were added the other day (NBA & Azurik) are the last of the bunch.

Obviously don't want to sound ungrateful but I was hoping for a few more.

Oh well, Rallisport and Amped it is then....

Sadly I do agree. The list of games is actually quite good when you take into account that Halo and PGR are two of them.

Problem is of course that most Xbox owners will have one or both of them.

I don't mind Amped and I really enjoyed Rallisport (CM3 isn't out for a good few months yet anyway).

Getting Halo & PGR and re-selling them isn't a bad idea failing that....

Halo, Rallisport Challenge, Project Gotham Racing, Amped, Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, Dead or Alive 3, Bloodwake, Fuzion Frenzy, NBA Inside Drive 2002, Azurik: The Rise of Perathia.


Sorry, I know I should be grateful, but that list is crap!

Halo, Munch's and PGR I already have. DoA3 I had and exchanged for Munch's.

I've no interest in Amped, as I lost interest in SSX on the PS2 and don't want another snowboarding game. I'm not interested in NBA, Bloodwake is a pile of poo, and both Fuzion Frenzy and Azurik have low poor review scores.

Which basically leaves me with RalliSport, which I didn't really want because I'm waiting for Colin McRae 3 and/or V-Rally 3.

Those buying an Xbox will obviously have a choice of the complete range of games available, and I think we should have the same.

I can't help but feel very disappointed. I'll probably just claim two decent games and try and sell them to someone else.

It's a shame it can't be done via the retailers actually.

Mine was a present (lucky me!) but if you bought from SR for example, you could deal with them and they claim from M/S in bulk.

No doubt that would be a blimmin' nightmare for the shops though and I can't see busy places like SR appreciating the extra work involved.

I wish I'd done it last week as well.

God knows how many thousands of people will be sending their requests off this week. It'll take ages to receive the stuff.

Still, two free games and a free pad - we can't really complain too much.

There are loads of people who will have pre-ordered.

If it says Xbox on the receipt then there is no way they can dispute the sale.

My receipt says 9th March but also clearly says Xbox on it (from GAME).

Seems like it is the final list. What a joke, I wish I had sent my form off last week as then I wouldnt have to mess about with the receipt. My receipt has the data I pre-ordered it on and not the date of March 14th. Think i'll be ringing up Microsoft to see what they say.

Maybe they havent updated it yet. If this is the final list I wish I had ordered it all before now. As now you have to send a copy of your receipt to Microsoft to claim. Some people may have lost there receipt. I've had problems before with sending receipts off, as GT3 on the PS2 had a offer where you could send you receipt off and get £10. I pre-ordered it from SR when it was under Gran Turismo 2000, sent that off and they said it was wrong.

Hopefully Microsoft will see that I had pre-order my Xbox and had a £20 deposit taken off as well as 10% of the total order taken off as I havd the whole package on loan.
