We use <a href="http://godaddy.com/">Godaddy.com</a> to do all our domain registration, as a matter of fact xnaroundup.com was registered with them back when I first had the idea to do this show! Anyway, we're hoping you, our viewers will use the codes when you check out at <a href="http://godaddy.com/">Godaddy.com</a>, because not only can <span style="font-weight: bold;">you</span> actually save some decent cash by doing so, which is always good, but it also puts little money in our pocket as well, :) and that means better shows and maybe even more of them. So enough of all this text crap here's the codes:<br /><br /><a href="http://godaddy.com/?isc=xna5">xna5</a> - 10% off any order not already discounted (up to 10 bucks)<br /><br /><a href="http://godaddy.com/?isc=xna6">xna6</a> - $5 off $30 or more on any items not already discounted<br /><a href="http://godaddy.com/?isc=xna7"><br />xna7</a> - .COM domain name for $7.49<br /><br />**Limited time offer** : XNA20H -20%off 1, 2 or 3 year hosting plans (good until August 31, 2009 )<br /><br />Go <a href="http://offers.mevio.com/godaddy-coupon-code/xnaroundup.html">here</a> for the skinny on all the offers<br /><br />There are some restrictions and I'm not sure if they work outside the US, but let me know if you have any problems.<br /><br />So if you've been waiting to register that brilliant idea for a website now is the time to do it!<br /><br />Also if you REALLY want to help out, go to retailmenot.com and click on the button that says our code worked for you (if it did of course), here's the link: <a href="http://www.retailmenot.com/view/godaddy.com">http://www.retailmenot.com/view/godaddy.com</a> go down the page a little and there's the XNA codes.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />NickNicholas Iannonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261810661071439396noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719612204355239193.post-7374416531944324682009-05-30T02:22:00.000-07:002009-05-30T08:20:26.857-07:00XNA Roundup #20 Weapon of Choice, Blow, Carneyvale: Showtime<div style="text-align: center;"><embed src="http://blip.tv/play/gtRYgYXJapL5Nw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="311"></embed><br /></div><p>This week on XNA Roundup we travel back in time to review some of the best early community games.
