Didn't they say the PS2 had a 10 year life cycle even though a large part of it overlapped with the PS3? So 10 years doesn't necessarily mean they'll wait 10 years to release a new console, just that they'll support their current one for 10 years.

erm, "press start" is about the most I can quote - but it covers a lot of games!

yeah, it's more the 'you may also like' as you say, it's not there. I don't like just clicking randomly on stuff and hoping I will like it.

Don't know if this is the right place for this so apologies in advance. They've made the Under Siege: First Encounter comic free as an apology for the game being late.

I don't 100% understand soundcloud.

oh, so no streaming service. never mind - I tend to just use youtube now to find music but I'd rather use a proper music site.

When you weaned yourself off Spotify, what did you replace it with? I am always disappointed by last.fm each time I try it.

I didn't realise House was so popular.

Spotify is changing its free service by cutting the number of hours you can listen per month in half from 20 to 10. It is also reducing the number of times you can listen to a track from unlimited to 5 times per month. Link They're really hoping to push you onto the premium service! My worry is they will start tiering their paid services once they completely cripple the free version.

There's always Elite...

Looks interesting. It's an Action RPG. Arstechnica likes it. EDIT: The game's Spiral Knights - probably should have mentioned that.

Ignoring your last part of your post, I hope you weren't inferring from my post I "wanna fuck" Miss Marple of Jessica Fletcher.

huh, they don't have detectives outside the EU, or do you mean it is mostly crime procedurals with ensemble casts nowadays?

lol, if you have to ask...

Mine's a toss-up between Miss Marple and Jessica Fletcher - I think I prefer the gentler style of investigation.

That reminds me, I want to get the rest of the Heavy Rain trophies now I have my Move. Just got a wireless xbox controller bundled with Pure and Lego Batman for £23.99. Not bad since I should actually enjoy both those games. Yikes - looking for photos of it it's £73 at HMV! Edit: The photo isn't accurate as both games share one box.

"Samsung ps50c680" dreaming of a new TV...

LOL, I always knew girls were evil.

Zoo Keeper DS. I'm surprised no one has mentioned a puzzle game yet, surely that's the quintessential quick-play genre.

Does the one that pays more get more views? It look good to say on your CV that I wrote an article that got XXXX hits, so I would go for the one with most views, but I guess it depends how much you need the money.

You should - you won't see it that price again - the white boxes are £50 and that will be the standard so unless you see it bundled with a game for a bargain price (eg when they start reducing the bundled-with-heroes packs) you won't see it for £30 again.

Yeah, its £29.98 in store for the blue box version (which is the best version). You can only use the vouchers in store that's why I went in. I really think the plastic vouchers with magnetic strips should be usable online as the value is held on a server, not on the card itself. PRetty annoying (though it's the same with all stores not just GAME)

After some slight confusion about the new starter package I now have PlayStation Move (with the starter disc) after my £5.01 voucher I only spent £25 on it which is the price of the Eye on its own so a bit of a bargain since the bundle is normally £45/£50. Best of all, since I've used my voucher I never have to set foot in a a GAME store again (though the manager was totally hot!)

how obliging of you.

Link to the Future Main points from the article "Project Cafe" will be slightly more powerful than ps3/xbox (I think this is more realistic than 'miles more' powerful as Nintendo won't want it to be very expensive). It will have similar architecture to xbox360, a custom IBM PowerPC CPU with three cores, a GPU from the ATI R700 family with a shader unit at version 4.1, and at least 512Mb of RAM. (sounds reasonable) compatible with wii and gamecube games - and all wii accesories. (makes sense to me) "The controller has a six-inch touch screen, a front-facing camera, D-Pad, two bumpers, two triggers and "possibly more," and can allegedly be used as a Wii sensor bar" (this all seems a bit much - and expensive!) There will be another 'big surprise' at e3. Apparently, the source is the same that leaked the NGP details early. I don't know about all this. everything seems reasonable enough (except the controller - if they won't out a HD screen in the 3DS then I doubt they'll put one in a controller) I'm just not convinced we'll be getting a new console this soon. If we do I will defintiely be excited (though in the minority it seems)
