Dead Samurai Joins XBLM 'Holiday Offers' Promo

Our pals over at Microsoft Game Studios just posted an Xbox LIVE Marketplace deal, where if you buy 1600 Microsoft points worth of featured content, you’ll get 400 points credited back to your account. And, yes, The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai is considered “featured content”.

The Holiday Offers from Microsoft Game Studios promotion runs from now through Monday, November 22nd and actually sports a pretty solid list of eligible content. Dead Samurai is a must-buy (of course), but you’ll need to add an additional 800 MS points worth of content to your virtual cart, so may I recommend Splosion Man, N+, Duke Nukem 3D or any of the eligible Game Add-Ons you deem worthy. Note too that you must download the registration gamerpic to qualify for the deal. Complete offer details can be viewed on Xbox.com. Happy shopping!

Vampire Smile Gets Previewed In OXM UK

Last month, I traveled across the pond to hand deliver an exclusive preview of The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile to the guys over at Future’s Official Xbox Magazine UK. Today, the issue hit news stands which means you get to read all about their experience with The Dishwasher AND get some exclusive screenshots to view, as long as you:

1.) Have access to OXM UK’s XMAS 2010 issue, specifically page 67. (Sorry, fellow Americans. OXM US is a totally different publication and does not feature the preview.)
2.) Have properly functioning eyeballs.

Unfortunately, we have yet to lay our eyes on the preview, so we’re not exactly sure if OXM liked their Vampire Smile experience or not. There’s only one way to find out, and that is to buy a copy of the mag and get our read on. I also want to send a ginormous-sized “thank you” to Jon and the entire Future staff for being so hospitable and so darn awesome. They’re what I call “good people”.

Bonus fun fact: During my OXM visit, I accidentally exploded the Xbox 360 dev kit’s AC adapter (due to some non-compatible voltage) and ultimately knocked out the hotel’s power. As a result, I had to apologize to the hotel staff and ask Microsoft for a replacement adapter. My bad.
