I´m very curious to see the score they´ll give Banjo.

And they´re taking too long to review Infinite Undiscovery.

I hope it will sell well but from the look at it , MS send it to die just like the first time. There is no promotion , most didn't even know it's out today. They should have been doing more advertisement .. give out those cards, may be bundle special camera edition for $49.99 with extra cards.... etc.

But nope, it just come out on the day after Labor Day and most kids are back in school.

Sometimes I really wonder about Microsoft marketing team.

All marketing probably going to go to Gear of Wars 2 , the game that's going to sell millions anyway. They talk that they want the casual but they are doing nothing to get into the market beside token releases here and there.

I agree.  I guess they think just because there is a tv show, kids will buy it.  Nope, you have to put it in people's faces.  M$ marketing is not very good, just look at their public image.

But on a more serious note, gamespot has no credibility.

there is a lot of advertisements online for viva pinata. Also there is gonna be a treasure hunt on xbox.com on friday. I assume they'll have commercials during the kids show. Advertisements are handled by an agency that Microsoft hires, so it's in their hands.
