Some of the comments I’ve read said the UMK3 has some problems. Can anyone confirm this?

And the only reason I suggested a mention of UMK3 was because it pulled a ‘Sam Fisher’ and sneaked onto XBL this weekend. I figured a big release like that would have come out on Wednesday.
I didn’t mean to mess up you rountine, deac!

Is it me or does “UMK3″ seem a little slimmed down from the related SNES console version? Where’s Rain?!?

No problems with UMK3 for me. I’ve been playing it a lot and I have to say it blows Street Fighter out of the water as far as the controller response. It did seem to be missing a few characters. I wonder if you will be able to purchase them later from the MP??

I really enjoy MK3, too. Yeah, from what I’ve seen, the SNES and Genesis versions were different than the Arcade version of UMK3. Rain was mentioned in the arcade and seen in the graveyard, but wasn’t playable. However, the home console versions did have him playable as well as a different skin for Noob. I guess since the Live version is a direct arcade port, that is the reason Rain isn’t present. Hopefully, they left room for UMK3 to have download content from the marketplace.

That would be against the TOS and could get you banned.

Good catch, I looked right at it and that fact didn’t register.
So much for the not releasing major content on weekends policy…again.

Funny how nobody ever seems to get banned for such clear indisputable violations of TOS, yet when it comes to an individual’s judgement call they are all for it.

I have OXM, not missing out on demo!

Hey bro, just wanted to let you know that none of your episodes are on iTunes right now! Don’t really know why, or even if you are aware, but just thought I would leave a little note

TOS= Terms of Service and talking about breaking it on an MVP’s website is just plain silly
Hey Deaconblade, I gave Heroes another chance tonight and now I’m hooked! Damn you!
October 23rd, 2006 at 9:25 pm
see…Heroes is the show!!
and iTunes is so stupid man…i don’t know what the hell is up with them..i’ve emailed TONS of times saying that the episodes aren’t saving for some reason and they tell me nothing.

Ahh, “Heroes”. I only saw the first episode. The rest are on my TIVO calling to me.
