Harley Quinn’s Revenge Is Batman: Arkham City’s Bad New Ending
Harley Quinn’s Revenge has had the opposite effect on me than whatever its creators likely intended. The linear, two-hour epilogue for PS3 and Xbox 360 to last October’s excellent Batman: Arkham City has diminished my desire to return to that game and give me new worries about this Batman series’ future.
Hulu Plus Will Be Free On Xbox 360 For A Week In The US

Xbox Live On Dial-Up Is No Fun For Anybody
It’s unlikely, but some of you out there may use a dial-up connection on a semi-regular basis. Hell, maybe even a regular basis. If so, you’re probably used to waiting an age for stuff to download, so why not give your ceaseless read-press F5-wait-repeat cycle a miss and try something a little more laborious.

XBL Has Reached 45 Million Downloads
More news from Gamerfest 2007: Microsoft announced that 7.1 million Live users have downloaded 25 45 million…things…from XBL. With that level of user base, that puts the download average of everything—from games to themes—at a (what I think is very, very low) average of 3 per person.
Given that they also said the attachment rate is reaching an average of 6-7 XBLA titles per user, we’re a bit confused by all the numbers at the moment. Either those 25 45 million downloads are arcade title exclusive, or that 6-7 title figure is inflated and based upon only the most current users. We have an email out to Microsoft and will let you know if the numbers start making more sense.
UPDATE: We’ve talked to Microsoft PR. The real number is actually 45 million Xbox Live downloads.
