Whatever contest these guys are competing in, they surely won.

Thousands of Rez fans await the announcement of this week’s XBox Live Arcade game releases for the week. Rez was promised to release in January, so I feel this is a pretty sure thing. Rez was one of the “hard to find” titles on PS2 for some reason. (Sold my copy for $80) Would be perfect on XBLA. I’m sure this will be one of the pricier releases on XBLA. Rez info on wikipedia

update: So no Rez this week. MS is only releasing the free Undertow game to XBox Live members to make up for the outages during the holidays. Perhaps next week.

“Application Not Responding” “Spinning Beach Ball” for several minutes, on Mac at least. Link to Apple Support Discussion. Haven’t seen a “should have been a beta” release of iTunes in awhile. This all starts to get more complicated when you have 250GB of Music, Videos in iTunes and it’s the central place to sync your phone and MP3 player. I will proceed with caution next time and wait a month. Hoping for a bug fix soon. Unfortunately the only fix I’ve found is patience. Letting iTunes “work it out” and spin balls for several minutes will eventually stop and you will have control of iTunes again…well, as much as Steve will allow.
