    I wonder how many of those people were like me and got semi-tricked into creating two accounts. Not realizing that the game created one for you (apparently without your consent, unless I missed it), I set up an account using an email address not associated with my Xbox Live account. When I tried to add my gamertag to the account, I was told it was already in use. Which prompted a reaction of WTF? and mild dread. So on a hunch I logged out, logged back in with my XBL email/password, and sure enough there it was.

    Not the end of the world, but still not cool. Especially as the game purchase is registered under my self-created account, so my auto-account doesn't get credit for it. If there is any credit to be had.

    @Communist Pope:

    I've read about that. Shoot an email to support.

    I, personally, use the same email for the majority of everything in my life--so I had no such issues.

    But I read a few forum topics about the issue..and it was able to be resolved.

    @Communist Pope: You agree to account creation when you sign on and register the game... that is why you log in with an e=mail address. It's best to always log in to your new games with whatever gamertag is already associated with accounts from that distributor I've found.

    You know, I may just make it a point to play all Bioware games. Shattered Steel is on GoG.com. I have a DS already, so the Sonic RPG I only need to buy. TOR maybe my first MMO. The only one that may be a problem is the first Baldur's Gate, which I hope I can find in here in Malaysia.

    I made an account up there. I have zero desire to purchase Mass Effect 2, but it's kinda cool the way the little "tracking" system displays your progress in Dragon Age. It'd be nice if it updated faster and more reliably, but it's free and you gotta take what you can get these days.

    Kudos should be given for going above and beyond, at least.

    This game sure does see a lot of marketing... but I still don't find myself interested. I'm actually a bit less interested because of all this. I hope I'm wrong about my impressions and it turns out to be an enjoyable game.

    So.. i finally buckled down and made a Facebook page.. gotta see what the fuss is about right..

    1 thing bothers me..

    How the hell do you find people on it? The search funtion doesn't search at all, and i can't find girl gamers on it.

    Yeah, sad.. screw that, somebody better fork over some girl gamers pronto.

    It should be easier to search for more "ethnic surnames" than generic names like Nguyen and Smith....

    @D-K, stubbed his toe..*swears*: Facebook is supposed to allow you to connect to people with common interests through your concentric social rings. Not be a creepy stalker.

    In other words, you start with the people you know. As you add the people you know you begin to see the people THEY know, connect with them, so on and so forth.

    If I choose to utilize this, i'm not simply using it wrong, I'm using it differently.

    But I guess i can't complain about a broken search function then.. ah well..

    Twitter and Facebook are fine...Facebook is really limited compared to the actual site but looking at pics is actually nicer on the 360, the slideshow feature is probably the best part about the interface. Twitter is doesn't let you look at pics but, again, I kind of like the 360 interface better.

    Last.fm is fantastic. Wish you could listen outside of the application (ie in games), but I wasn't really expecting that. #facebook
