Xbox Asia - Hong Kong

[Brian C Hayes]

Just found these wonderful tables on the ipad and realized they are on XBOX ..... any news on when these will be available to Pinball fans in Asia ?

Xbox, from what I understand, releases in all regions at once, so you'll get them around the same time everyone else does. The firmest date for this is (by mid-July). Since mid-July is from the 10th to the 20th (or 21st, depending on how you want to calculate the extra day), and DLC is released on Tuesdays, you will either see it this Tuesday, or the following, unless it is pushed back again.

Richard, doesn't MS release stuff on Wednesdays? I know Sony releases on Tuesdays.

 

[Ark Malmeida]

I think the way it goes is retail releases on Tuesdays, most DLC on Tuesdays (although I've seen some on Wednesdays), most XBLA game releases on Wednesdays (MS sometimes releases self published games on Fridays for some reason).

 

[Gord Lacey]

Haha, that's not confusing at all

Makes perfect sense to me, though all you need to know is that it will likely be released on a Tuesday.

What about title updates?

 

[Ark Malmeida]

Hmm, that's a really good question about updates. I would think that it would release along with the DLC. I'm not so sure there's really a set date for updates. I've seen them on all different days, usually in preparation for DLC.

Many thanks for the responses ... actually Xbox sometimes does not realease games in certain regions .... why ? god only knows .. and its usualy the games I want to play .... like Brunswick Bowling ... or Poker etc .... great to hear that this game is coming to XBox ... I cant wait to play Star Trek TNG .... I am hoping for a PC 2 screen Digital Table version for my Future Pinball cabinet .... Truly amazing work .. thanks for the responses

Just to be Clear I am talking the actual game not a DLC .. It's not available in Hong Kong right now ? Are you saying its not available anywhere right now on xboxlive

Pinball acade is available on us/eu xbla. Perhaps you can make a foreign account on your xbox to buy them off of another region?
