I'm still waiting for clarification of how 3G version will work before I make a decision. though I don't think I'll be getting one in the first year as I just got a 3DS and will be getting a Wii U next year.

they shouldn't have shown something they had of intention of giving away.

ooh, I just got The Fall on blu ray. I haven't seen it before and am quite excited now. Might watch it this weekend.

Mine's 3437-3195-3803. I've also added everyone. Try not to laugh at my ridge racer times if you add me

people do use they feedback websites, and I am sure they would be quite rightly annoyed if they were lied to about a chance of winning as I am sure that is why most people do it. Kinda like the pepsi case with the jump jet.

dragon quest ix for £9.89 brand new. Bargain!

don't worry. your joke made sense. Unless everyone else was joking by pretending not to understand it?... Damn, internet can make you paranoid.

I'd get new games for cheaper. fuck everyone else.

The way I'd go about lowering used sales if I were a publisher is to lower the cost of new games. If they sold new games at £30 then gamers wouldn't need to trade in their games to afford new ones. retailers would have to buy used copies at such a low price it would mean a lot of people would wouldn't bother and since the retailer would make less profit on used sales it wouldn't be pushed so much harder than new sales. It would also mean they'd get more sales in the launch window instead of people waiting for the price to drop so would get more value out of their marketing spend. If the publishers took this approach it would not eradicate used sales entirely but I think it would reduce it to a level that everyone could tolerate.

Spaced is the pinnacle of Mr. Pegg's career so far.

If I ever get around to playing this is it better to play good or evil first or doesn't it make a difference?

I finished reading it last night and yes, it was great. I'm guessing the version on TV wouldn't be the super-duper version and if I remember it didn't have that great reviews so unless I'm surprised by it I don't think I'll be splashing any cash on the blu ray.

I like to read a book before I see a film purely because I don't like picturing the film in my head as I read. I just recorded the Watchmen, which finally inspired me to read the book which has been sitting on my shelf for over a year so I can watch the film.

I just watched Connie and Carla and while I'm sure critically it wasn't a masterpiece I had a stupid grin on my face the whole time. chikapow!

I've never seen The Fall, but I'm hoping it will have the same sort of spectacle as The Cell plus Lee Pace is adorable. And I know it's not exactly seasonal but Elf is probably my second favourite Christmas film (after Olive, the other Reindeer) and I watch it every year on TV. Now I have the blu ray! The only downside is that the picture is squashed looking which I am trying hard not to let bother me (I'm guessing because the inlay is shorter than on DVD, but it looks like some sort of sloppy job you'd get on a DVD at a car boot sale).

if you're not sure you'll like it, wait until it is $15-$20?

I still have the non-DX cartridge, but I don't have anything to play it on, but I read that this has an extra dungeon so I'm happy to buy it. The main reason I got it now though was to have proof I've been to the eShop for the Ambassador program. Not that I don't trust Nintendo not to mess it up!

Apparently it uses Ubisoft's 'always on' DRM even if you buy it through steam?

I loved Cannon Fodder too - Sensible Software also made the only football game I've ever liked. Sensible Soccer

A liquid in a bottle. I cannot believe that never even crossed my mind.

Is the tea in those big bottles loose leaf? I always think of loose leaf as a bit fancy which flies in the face of buying it in those economy size bottles. If it is in bags it is even more inexplicable: pouring out teabags is just mental.

ADD IN: I appologise in advance if this post is difficult to follow, my head is a mess So do you think you* expect an RPG to last longer because of its more sedate pace? ie wandering around more, lots of text to read, slower paced combat etc. and if more intense games are shorter do you think there is an ideal number of plot points/experiences/set pieces (I cant think of a good word - I hope you know what I mean) for a game and different genres just have that same number but in a different density. I guess then the problem would arise if a game spreads those 'points' too thinly so it seems tedious getting between them and the game overly long. Or if they do not have enough points embedded in the fundamentals of the game and the developer has to add them in artificially. I guess the other problem if you go with this theory is if the density if different to what the player has come to expect from the genre. *general 'you' not anyone in particular.
