Zune Pass users can now download 10 tracks per month in a protection-free MP3 format for permanent ownership, in addition the existing “all you can eat” subscription usage. For $15 a month users can download unlimited music and keep listening to it as long as they pay the monthly fee. Stop paying the fee and you get to keep the 10 songs per month that are a part of your Zune Pass. Each month, Microsoft will credit you with 10 free downloads.
Microsoft is also dropping the price of their flash-based players: The 4GB version will drop to $99, the 8GB model will drop by $10 to $139, and the 16GB model will sell for $179, down from $199.
90% of the Zune Marketplace library is in .mp3 format. The Zune Pass works with some non-Zune devices.

Hushed Casket Gamebattles Gears of War 2 Ladder Team
—
by

http://gamebattles.com/xbox360/gears-of-war-2/team/hushedcasketLets face it GOW2 is epic. The multiplayer will get better, and we’ll adjust to learn the new techniques it takes to win games regularly like we did with GOW 1. I am recruiting team members to play semi-competitively against ladder teams on gamebattles.
Sparda, JDogg, Resin, Bama…, and I played 10 or so matches yesterday in matchmaking and ended up winning about 8 out of 10. I’d like to put some of that gameplay towards some type of ladder.
As a general thought I don’t expect this to be hardcore competitive. I’m betting we will lose a few matches and bottom feed the ladder to get a few wins if possible. Hopefully we’ll have enough players to swap out. In the TWL ladder we participated in a couple years ago, we ended up holding 1st place for some time before we got frustrated with the staff’s inability to resolve conflicts between some of the less sportsmanlike teams and ourselves.
This time around I’d like to take it with a more easy-come-easy-go strategy and have fun with it while learning a thing or two in the process.
Everyone is welcome including people I don’t know personally and since this is more for fun we will regularly rotate team members in and out if we end up having more than 5. Also, looking for additional person to serve as leader/communicator to other team leaders when setting up matches.
Lets have some fun!
