Hey MAJOR, do you have the link to the wii60 adam's family picture that you talked about in your blogcast.
Major, the next time you have someone from the XBLA dept on (or maybe just ask them when you see them, can you please ask WHY is it that upcoming XBLA games don't have a announced release schedule like regular games do. It would seem that if they can set *specific* retail release dates for huge games like Oblivion or even Table Tennis at least 60 days in advance, you'd like they could set a date for smaller games like Hoopworld or even Galaga. I understand that the date could get pushed back for what ever reason, like retail releases do, but at least they set a date and try to shoot for it and the public knows what it is.
I'm just not understanding the random, mysterious nature of the XBLA release schedule. Thanks for your awesome podcast. I look forward to it every week! :-)
