This is the grill prop that everyone who did the Xbox Live Block Party received.  However, the code is pretty universal so why don’t you download it  yourself?

-UPDATE- This wouldn’t work for me last night and I suspect it won’t work for many of you either.  The code entered just find but when it was downloading it stopped and gave me an error message saying “Couldn’t download grill prop”.  I had plenty of room left for it, so I am just assuming MS had something in place to prevent this.  Sorry Folks!

Here’s the deal, Capcom is ready to setup a donation to a charity worth $20,000.  The catch, though, is that the demo for Lost Planet 2 needs to be downloaded 1 Million times between Xbox Live and Playstation Network.  After it hits the 1 Million mark, an additional $5,000 dollars will be given is another 500,000 downloads are made.  User have from yesterday (April 1st) until May 5th in order to make their download count.f

So hey, if you’ve got both systems like I do, why not download the demo on both of them and help reach the goal?  It doesn’t sound like a lot, but $25,000 can go a long ways towards helping people out.  The proceeds will be given to Music for Relief, a charity started by Linkin Park that helps out with disaster relief.

Just last week I got a little angry that Nyko Lied To Me since they goofed up when I asked them about a pre-order item from BestBuy.com.

Last night I received a direct Twitter message from them stating:

“We have seen your blog post and would like to apologize for the confusion. We were going by BestBuy.com’s description and NOT the SKU number. We should have checked the SKU number, and for that we apologize. Please let me know how we can rectify this situation. ”

All I could say back to them was: @nykotech Thanks for apology, sorry I sounded so angry. BluWave working well. Will review on blog. Still feel bad? Send review products :)

So you see Nyko, I forgive you! There’s really no need to rectify anything. I’m not one of those angry people that demand you send them free crap. I had my moment of rage and now it has passed.

However, if you really do feel bad about it and still want to do something to make it up, I have an idea. I would absolutely love to be sent review products (This goes not just to Nyko but to every company out there :P). It would be a win-win for both of us.

I’ll get cool stuff and put up quality reviews of the products. After all, that is what I’ve done in the past.
(I can dig out some URLs of past reviews I’ve done for Generation: Gamerz if anybody is curious.)

So Who Can We Blame?
Best Buy of course! After all, their crappy info and lack of info started this whole thing!

Hi Nyko,

About a month or two ago, I was perusing BestBuy.com for some cheap accessories to add onto my purchase of a new desk chair. I wound up looking through the PS3 section and noticed a curious listing.

So the Blur beta from Activision and Bizarre Creations has been going swimmingly.  I am absolutely floored by this racing game.  In fact, I’m surprised that I even like it since I don’t tend to play racing games all that often.  I think its the fact that it is easy to get into and has awesome power-ups.  Would you like to get in on this too?
