Wow, and I was actually considering picking this up. Very said to see this type of stuff the day after release. I mean seriously, where is the respect?! Hey Major would you mind passing along that this type of crap is exactly why I am embarrassed to own a 360 sometimes. Thanks~

When I posted very early this morning, I had downloaded the full version from the "new games" blade, so I had no idea there was all this fish stuff for the aquarium. So is this to be the Americanized version of AquaZone? Same type of DLC offered by both. Luckily, I purchased this game for TETRIS first, and the fish stuff second. For being a TETRIS GAME with a few modes, the game is good (for a Tetris fan), but I think the word "bundle" should have been applied here. I have seen this already with NFS Carbon, Rumble Roses, and Aquazone. I could probably think of more if I thought hard enough about it. I am already desensitized to this. But for being TETRIS, I am ok with what I paid for. Maybe because there are no screens telling me to purchase additional content, it feels more complete of a game than Lumines (one "M"!) does. XBox 360 - Would have I purchased "Tetris Grease Burns"? Yeah.

You know, it's insulting enough that you're charhing $10 for freakin TETRIS, but then charging for all that extra stuff? EA must have been a background consultant.

Blow me, MS. Sure as hell am not picking up Tetris now.

FINALLY! Those boneheads added Pyramid to Soltrio Solitare. A few variants too.

In Tetris Splash' defense, they could have made all that post-production. The certification process is pretty long. Also, it's not as much as it seems, since a lot on that list is themes, where the market average already is 150 MS points.

Then again, Tetris Splash is a stupid Tetris remake, and I'm a bad person for defending it.

It's just ridiculous with all the meaningless expensive Tetris Splash content that should have made into the final game. Can't understand why Microsoft let this slide.

Couldn't you at least release all the "extras" some weeks later than the actual game so you could pretend that this isn't anything that was made in time.

"Thankfully", the game wasn't even released in my region.

Where do I get support for Tetris Splash downloads? All the fish ones say they have multiple types (Tetra says "This fresh water Tetra pack includes bloodfin, neon, glowlight, and black neon fish."). In game, after purchase, only one of the four is available to use (standard neon). On the xbox.com boards, others have tried all the fish packs and there is only one fish in the packs available to use, even though it says there are 3 or 4 per pack. There is obviously either a setting missing or something wrong with the download packs.
