Just checked for Reverie on XBL again (for probably the 100th time) after not having checked for a few days, and of course, nothing.

There's been ample time for Cox to deliver on his promises. As a former QA for Sony, I can assure you that a "problem with XBL" as Cox has put it, would NOT cause this much of a delay.  I've seen lone programmers fix multiple online problems like the one that Cox and team is supposedly having, within hours. Not a team of programmers, just one. And not days or weeks, but HOURS.  So what's the real issue here? It's possible that Cox and team are simply just inept, but I highly doubt it.

I'm pretty much convinced at this point that the real reason we lowly 360 owners have not yet received Reverie is because Konami/MS has some sort of exclusivity agreement with Sony, made under the table which is being kept hush hush. Probably having to do with both DLC's, we 360 owners won't be able to play this either until the next DLC gets released, or perhaps even later (my guess is about 2 weeks or so after). Why keep it quiet? Perhaps Cox feels that less feathers will get ruffled that way, or maybe it's parts of the agreement.

Point being, I'd rather Cox be honest. Just tell us that we aren't getting a damn thing until Sony gets it first (and has it for a set period of time).

But since Cox refuses to be honest, I say F-U!!!!!

I WILL NOT PAY for either Reverie, or Resurrection.  If you're gonna refuse to be honest with your fans, I refuse to give you my money.  I'm going to youtube right after posting this, and just watching it on there, and I plan on doing the same for Resurrection. Problem with XBL my ass!!

F-U, be honest!!

Yep. Looking forward to playing the sequel, provided they fix some of the problems of the first one, but LoS was bloated enough as it is and I'm not really keen on adding more hours to it. Quantity != quality.

Well if by some chance that is true I think it's fair, Ps3 owners still have yet to get Harmony of Despair. Maybe it's an issue with Microsoft, not Mercury Steam. Anyways, Reverie is pretty great, so I hope you'll give it a chance regardless.
What a horrible night to have a curse!

Spoilers maybe, except not really;

I have both a ps3 and a 360 but I still decided to check out a youtube vid instead. It was really nothing special to be honest. Mostly puzzles and no bosses. I mean, WTF? I do however have HIGH hopes for Resurrection. It should be kinda different from the rest of the game. Hopefully.

I bet that it isn't going to be different of the rest of the game, the DLC are part of the same game , it's just a new chapter, I don't think its smart to expect changes in the gameplay.

I only expecting Resurrecttion for the story.

I've been checking the Playstation store and I can't find it either. I think it's just a localization thing (you live in Europe as well, right?).

No, good ol' the U-S of A. Although the wifey and I have been seriously considering moving to Europe, for lifestyle reasons.

Really disappointed that it's taken so long for this to get up on Xbox Live, but at least it's given me time to go back and work on my 100% completion playthrough.

I wish they would stop adding onto an existing game and just make a brand new one.

DLC is now out on both formats in Europe... but I will wait for a discount like most other downloads I try out.
