First, the usual Marketplace info and other news.

Team17 addresses Worms 2: Armageddon bugs - Team17, developers of the recently released Worms 2: Armageddon, have acknowledged that the game has some severe bugs. They are gathering information on these problems, and have been in active conversation with people that have been playing the game. If you’ve been having trouble with your copy of Worms 2: Armageddon, I urge you to stop by their Facebook Page to see if they have a workaround for your issue. If not, consider politely sharing what info you can on reproducing any bugs you’ve encountered so the upcoming patch can address your problem.

Arcade Release: Battlefield 1943 (1200 Points) - The latest in EA’s successful series of squad-based first person shooters. This one is set in, wait for it... World War II! Now there’s a topic that hasn’t been covered before! (Yes, I’m being sarcastic) I think I’d care more if this wasn’t from the same company who offers games on Xbox Live and then immediately tells you they can terminate online play for that game within thirty days. That’s on top of them pushing a lot of the blatantly exploitive Deals of the ’Weak’ in previous months, so forgive me for not touching the evil empire’s latest release.

Deal of the Week: N+ half off (now 400 Points) - Sentiment seems to be split on this one; some wonder why you should pay at all while the Flash version is free, and others suggest this is an enhanced remake that is "world’s better" than the free one. I decided to pick it up, and I’ll try to get a review in before the deal expires.

That said, Microsoft appears to be preparing to shoot themselves in the foot... or at least annoy the living daylights out of paying premium service subscribers.
