What I want to know is where the bloody hell is doing the EU/UK pre-order bonus deal? Amazon only list a dlc weapon for Noel, where as the pre-order pack had a load of stuff. Are they not part of the selected retailer group?

They've always struck me as weird. An accident waiting to happen.

The PS4 is going to be interesting to speculate on over the next few month/years. I'm not going to guess on matters of GPU/CPU and specifics like that as most of it goes over my head but I would hope to see the blu-ray drive to be significantly improved in terms of read speed. Either that or game installs will be even lengthier and more frequent than they are already. Price is going to the stickler. I'm sure Sony are loathe to have a repeat of the $599 debacle and but are obviously going to need to cover the costs of parts and whatnot. My guess is likely between $400-500, being as close to the latter as possible without it appearing to sting too much. If they're liable to make too much of a loss on the production of each, is it likely we'll see free PSN being thrown out the window? It's possible, if unlikely being key leverage over Xbox Live. Something I would like to see happen is Sony enforcing a strict 720p or higher standard for games running on the PS4. As Dean said above, even now there are a selection of games running at sub-HD resolutions even now and hardly any that run at 1080p (off the top of my head, Wipeout HD and...?). Improved 3D will be nice too. At present, resolution and framerates are sacrificed to make it possible - again going back to Wipeout, it goes from 1080p @ 60fps to 720 @ 30. Bit of a shame.

You don't have clothes dryers in England? Yeah but we call them tumble dryers.

I don't know if it's already been said (more than likely) but I find it amusing that the word 'cunt' in certain circles in the UK is all but used as an informal greeting at times, eg. "Alright, ya cunt?" whereas from what I hear it's a HUGE no-no in the States.

Wipeout. Now. Get on it, me and Dan are there.

There's Vita on Amazon as well. So it is. Cheers for that. Done and done.

I won an event so that works for me. Also, the first eliminator right after that zone battle, my first kill was Mason, which I think acts as a karmatic balance. Or something.

Yeah, I'm pretty crap at Zone at the best of times and battle seems to depend on who goes quickest the fastest

GAME are taking pre-orders already? I was hoping Amazon would be a bit quicker off the bat and I would reserve there.

I'm in. First person to go all Smash Bros gets an e-slap. Joined a random group like that the other day. Talk about vanilla.

Hi-de-hi campers! Ok, basic principle, if you have any DLC/beta codes or whathaveyou that you don't need or want, let this be the place to give them away or exchange them for someone else's if so inclined. To get things going, here's some codes on a first-come first-served basis: Aya Brea costume for Lightning in Dissidia 012 - TBCA-GDNH-CNQK 50% off FF II on PSN - FE6K-5PNC-59HC (must be used by 1/7/11) Have at it. EDIT: I assume this may only work in the EU store.

Don't know how often I'll be able to play with you yanks, timezones and all but with any luck I'll see some of you online. I'll be the one getting killed. A lot.

Let's see... Dragon Age GTA IV Scott Pilgrim Vs the World - Amazing film, beyond shite game. Total buyers remorse right now. Resonance of Fate - worst combat system in an RPG, possibly ever Midnight Club

The combination of short battery life, offensively short charge cable and now confirmation that it's region-locked, this has gone right off my radar.

I hope Sev defects. Or at least kills Rico. One can only hope. Oh and the voice talent continues to be top notch. I don't know who's idea it was to cast Ray Winstone but that man/woman is a fucking genius.

I was an insta-buy for me anyway but this...this looks incredible.

Easily one of the best boss themes in a long time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4iLRJ0Dftc&feature=related

This is why I'm a champion for digital distribution. In theory, once everything goes digital, studios can bypass the publishers and go direct to the likes of PSN or Live. Publishers know this, thus locking in studios as you say now and charging up the ass now.
