Sp yeah i just went on to the game and it told me to update! But then i updated and it went backto thearcade menu which got me thinking was this a xbox 360 update or just a bankshots update! im pretty sure its a bankshots one but that must just be what happens when and arcade game is updated! No idea what it does yet!

Notice anything different about it? And on another note, how's the game in general? I never got the hang of the controls, otherwise this definitely would've been a buy. (I've also discovered that backgammon isn't a completely boring game. It used to just be the thing on the other side of the checkers board for me.)

It's just a Bankshot update, as I played Geo Wars fine after I'd got this message.

Thing is, though, it wouldn't let me download the update, so right now I can't play Bankshot Billiards. :(

Its a fun game, but a bit of a learning curve as the computer is an expert shot on the default difficulty. I havent played it on Live yet anyone want a game?

I might be getting a game of PGR3 right now, but if not, then I'll play you.

I've found something that has been updated, by the way.

The little icons down next to the power bar and stuff are now different. That's all I can see, really. :D

The update was for the time trial achievments glitch! And the 200 games played glitch!

What were those glitches?

Actually, I think I may have experienced the time trial glitch. I got my time trial achievement without actually doing enough to get it... correct?

Yesh you just have to average all the tables on a minute! And same applies for golf!

Ah right... thing is, I'd done both of them, and had the achievements for both of them.

Maybe the glitch just didn't affect me. *shrug*

No the reason you got them wasbecause of the glitch the glitch actually made it easier for achievements but now its harder!

It also lets you play in a new 3D mode,

The next time you fire up ‘Bankshot Billards 2‘ from Xbox Live Arcade, you’ll be prompted for an autoupdate. I don’t know everything that is in the update, but I can tell you that it now allows you to play the game in a new 3-D mode

Jam Man, don't trade in your games, as you get bugger all for them.

Stick them on eBay. You should get at least £25 for most games, which is better than whatever gaming shops offer you on trade-ins.

Means you won't have to get rid of so many just to fund the purchase of one new game.
