problem is that's not much better. I had rather a lot of money in Icesave. Literally it was fine, I went on holiday, and when I got back all their (read: my) assets were frozen and I couldn't access my money.

Do you know that it is per account, and not per console? Either way I don't think I'd push my luck and try using my US account but I do have a spare UK one...

well, you just missed it on tv this week! I may have to try the Virgin Suicides again. Maybe I'll get the book first, but usually having read the book just makes me like a film less not more

It sounds more like some kind of internet based reward program. I certainly wouldn't want any value tied up in it when it crashes and burns.

I've been meaning to pop this one in for a while, mysteriously, I am spurred in to action. people who compare business/gaming practices to ass rape. Surprisingly, I would rather buy CoD 7 than be raped via any orifice.

I hate daily deals. By the time I read about them they are always finished

Well, Fable III finally arrived 9 weeks after I qualified for it. By letting my Gold lapse I got it for 20% off (£32 instead of £40) and got a free copy of Fable III. Pretty cool except when I took the offer I could trade Fable III for £25 now it's only worth £5 :/ Still, I actually want to play it so it's still cool, and free! It's the proper retail boxed version as well, so fine to trade in. Anyway, what's up with MS taking so long to fulfil their offers. I'm still waiting for my halo avatar thing I qualified for and that was all done in the marketplace so I don't see why that couldn't be instantaneous. edit: I forgot I got this too - only £7 new at ASDA. Bargain!

I need to find my PSP and try and work out which of my mountain of adaptors it goes with quite excited about LBP PSP.

I remember being slightly disappointed by The Virgin Suicides, I think because of all the fuss surrounding it and when I saw it, it was just an average film to me, maybe a bit slow. Just watched An Education and really enjoyed it. I thought the acting was great by all the actors and it kept up its pace which can be a problem for that sort of film.

Christ, it's not the scares that make DW unsuitable for children, all this hypothesising is melting my brain.

Legend of Paper Zelda. Apart from the name, would be awesome. Exclusive Gears of War Trilogy? of course that was the first thing that sprang to mind when someone mentioned a Wii 2

INTJ 100 88 38 56 I guess that's what I'm like... apart from the personal drive part.

A friend lent me the first one, which I quite enjoyed, so I said I'd buy the second season. Deluxe version of Silent Shout by The Knife. It has an extra CD of a live concert and a DVD with video of the concert and all the music videos.

He must be talking about PS4, then. You heard it here first!

So, generally not such as big a deal. Maybe if the same thing happened now people would be more angry about it.

I could hear what you were saying, but I had to turn my laptop volume up to max and it was significantly quieter than other people's samples so it would be distracting in when you were all conversing.

Would anyone give a quick rundown on the outage on LIVE in 2008 when they gave you undertow for free (I didn't have a 360 at the time) for a comparison? E.g. how long did it last and why did it happen. Did they extend people's LIVE subscriptions. How worked up about it did people get? I see it didn't effect everyone so roughly how many? How well did MS handle it?

I thought they only recently advertised for a graphics hardware architect, so it seems too soon to have a dev kit for games developers to me.

yeah, you sounded fine to me too, just need a louder mic!

From that article it sounds more like a redesign of the current console, not a new console. More likely (and I'd laugh pretty hard if true) is that they've made a new, cheaper/better dev kit for the current console. That's something I believe Wii did so indie devs could afford one. edit: not to say they aren't working on a new console.

I don't mind what they do - I was just guessing what they could do. I'm quite open to them making one of the characters gameplay quite different (ezio because of his age (maybe more strategic), or Desmond because he isn't being played as a memory).

they could have the people who work with desmond (I forget their names) could be at a base location sending him info such as objectives and a map doesn't have to be from memory. It is a game so it doesn't have to be 100% realistic, they could maybe say they've developed facial analysis software that decides how alert someone looks. I dunno exactly but it could work.

I'm sure they could steal an implantable animus technology from abstergo or something like that.
