Technically I didn't buy them as they were birthday presents (I'm 30!) but I now own them. Got a bit of a jump when I opened deadly premonition, as the way i ripped the wrapping paper I just got the eyes staring at me!

If they make an apology, it will be when they release a proper statement saying exactly what has happened instead of all this vague issue-skirting they're doing now. Hopefully that will go along with the make-up sex (ie FREE STUFF!)

What's this hardware update? Or do they mean firmware. "We need to enhance the contents which can be enjoyed passively by non-active users, like a 3D video distribution service. We will promptly work on this after the currently planned hardware update." link

My last mention of 50% was off but the most recent info i can find is about 3/4 of consoles connected that means you are wiping out a quarter of your market out of hand BUT out of the people that are connected that doesn't mean that all these people do or are willing to buy games. I'm happy to buy small games, in addition to disc-based games but I would not buy a download only console, and even worse would never buy a streaming console (a la onlive). people may connect to play multiplayer or small games but download caps and download speeds mean big downloads simply aren't feasible even for some internet connected gamers. Or are you saying that we won't have AAA titles nest gen?

a year free subscription?! keep dreaming. I think that is way out of proportion to what has happened.

my hair looks like it's been dry humped by a hedgehog most of the time, I guess we have different standards

By separate I mean there should be a database with your PSNID and less sensitive info, (games you own, friends list etc. - things that you use for gaming and are visible to the public anyway) then there should be totally separate your billing info, address, email and passwords etc and obviously that would also have your PSN ID but it should be a totally separate (and more secure) system.

what's odd about your hair? I'd be pleased if I could get mine to stay put in that position. edit: also, it's a bit mean to pre-empt the handbag jokes!

Vote for your favourite characters to be in the new game here. Who's your favourite character?

It does seem pretty grim, doesn't it. I can't believe they have all those details tied together, and accessible. You'd think the personal details would be well separated from the public details, like PSN ID etc.

I don't think we're ready for all that with gen 8, Dean. Don't forget only about half of xboxes are online this gen, we are a long way off download being the main delivery method for games.

Hi, Anslem. I like your avatar. Who is it of?

Nintendo hasn't had a popular gamers console since since the SNES (arguably never have had since there wasn't the distinction then). I really don't know that they will ever repeat the success of the Wii-level sales. i think the playstation generation and teenagers won't buy into Nintendo and never will because of it's image. This is the FPS/sports games market. But as long as Nintendo remain profitable so can continue making hardware I'm happy, as I don't want another Sega on our hands.

With the launch of the Wii's successor next year we will be into a new generation of home consoles seven years after the start of the current gen. Are you ready? What do you think Sony and Microsoft's responses will be? Will it work to Nintendo's advantage to be out of cycle with the other players. Or does it mean Sony and MS can built Nintendo's innovations fully into their next gen consoles? Has the generation run its course or do you think it still has life in it.

These are on offer for the free live weekend: Basically, all the Sega games. Is crazy taxi still any good? I don't know if I just enjoyed it cos we were usually getting ready to go out (ie drunk) when we played it. I'm also thinking of Sonic, Ecco the dolphin, Phantasy Star II (haven't played the first. Does that make a difference?)

here's a video that uses 3D audio and you can definitely hear the effect through normal stereo earphones, so it does work.

I just remember people saying the wii would holographically project imagines into your living room in real 3D and other bat doo-doo insane stuff like that, so I am taking all this with an extreme pinch of salt until it has left Nintendo's lips.

It's been delayed until next year, "to provide more challenging and better quality of content to users and to fulfil First Party Studio's obligations" along with the HD collection for unspecified reasons.

I'd love to know how much combat is in there - I hope not too much.

I'd say we use pry as well, but would spell prise with an s

It's reduced to half price for Deals of the Week. edit:I can't get my picture to work and it is totally adorable!

I keep meaning to start the millenium trilogy - it's sitting there staring at me. I know I'll enjoy it, but I can't seem to get the motivation to start it.
