How do you get online with Pokemon on a 3DS? I'm almost embarrassed to post such a 'n00b' question but hey . . . help . . . please?

Just adding everyone above =D Add me back if you can heh :P

I'm 1805-2155-6985 ^_^

I can agree with this entirely. Wasn't until about 12:25 that we were allowed to get the cover signed, and then told to queue up. The processing of purchases was REALLY slow. Too many people wanted to trade in their old consoles and loads of games to get the 3DS for next to nothing. It took me about 10-15 mins to buy the console, after another 15 mins of queueing by the tills, after the mess up with the initial sales. The people on the tills had too much to do, and the security and most people around didn't have a fecking clue as to what was meant to happen at midnight. I've been to GAME launches at Sound and they were MUCH better organised, the most recent being the WoW: Cataclysm launch. Still, I got my copy of SF IV signed, I had loads of fun in the queue (UMBRELLLAAAA) and got SF IV and Pilotwings and the console for £240, but I now have £40 of HMV vouchers to spend and a bag of schwag. I ended up getting out about 12:50am. In short, if anyone is considering going to a HMV launch event, don't waste your time. GAME are far superior at organising these things and HMV didn't seem to give a crap about the people queueing, they only seemed interested in the press and the 'celebs'.

If you're number 5 then i was the weird guy who came and played with his phone from 12pm :P checked hoody. We're heading back about 7pm ish. Figure 500 people must have wristbands by then. Only a couple hours in the ally before being moved to front of store WOOP WOOP

So yeah, I'm no.10 at the HMV Oxford Street launch. WOOP WOOP for a free game ^_^ Going to be getting a black console, Pilotwings and SSF IV 3D. Starting to get excited now!

I can't get online :'( DS FAIL!!! I suppose I should just wait until I have a nice shiny 3DS AKA my Pokemon and Ocarina of Time player

This does not bode well . . .

Sexuality, we all have one (even if it's asexulaity), so lets talk about it. I'm not trying to be exclusionary but lets try and keep this LGBT and LGBT curious only to make a more focussed discussion and we may get something good out of it as opposed to what happened last time something like this happened. So here goes. Lets hear your coming out stories/ moments of confusion/grand epiphany when you realised which side of the fence you stood on etc. Your personal dilemmas and moments of confusion. Maybe get some advice from a few other members of the boards? Do true Bisexuals exist? Is it just a preference for whatever you fancy determined by the person themselves or some would say taking the 'easy route' out of picking a sexuality? Have any bisexuals been lambasted by the gay or lesbian communities for this preference? Lets keep this clean and image free and as the icon Hilary Clinton said, Lets start the conversation.

I think EA are crazy charging £32 for the PSP version of NFS:Shift on PSN. Seems totally bizzare to me. £25 on play . . .

Well this is a most joyous thread indeed . . .

Is it just me or are the PSP downloadable games a LOT cheaper on the US PSN store vs the EU one As long as we get PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe today, I'll be happy. Bought the Dissidia PSP-3000 t'other day. It's so lovely and sparkly ^_^

Diablo came out for PSone :O

Indeedy. The 3K i just got is to replace my 1K so already have lots of games to play when it comes :P

And a 4GB memory stick for the bugger.

Just ordered a glittery white PSP-3000, the final fantasy dissidia pack. I just can't justify buying a PSP Go, when all the games will be at a fixed price, when it does noting a PSP 3K doesnt do if you shove in a big memory stick. I think the Go would work better if it was a PSP 2 proper, least then people have a reason to buy it.

The people who made Engadget are back with a social review site/community called GDGT. Just wondering if any of you guys have accounts? Here's a video which explain the site much better than I can. http://features.gdgt.com/2009/07/01/introducing-gdgt/

Eeeek! Starting Uni of Birmingham on Monday. Not a clue what i'm meant to do, so i'm going to go, register, get my ID card for student discount goodness, and then ask around and annoy the staff. . . joy! It's weird being a post-grad AND a fresher of sorts :/

Saw this excellent vid on youtube, thought people might appreciate it

I think film looks a bit crap :/ I mean, the character of Huxley is so obsurdly over the top and eurgh I'm dreading what they've done to the finer points of the story behind "The Origin" and Darwin.

I FUCKING LOVE UNI OF MANCHESTER!! Did a Biology degree, I wanna go back and do my PhD there too. The city is amazing, the university is world class in terms of science, it has really great facillities, and it just feels really good. I really cannot praise the uni enough! <3 <3 <3 *gushes some more, starts babbling, drools etc* QFT! Also, they play amazing music AND there's a Font bar in Fallowfield as well

To be honest, i wasn't that impressed with this game. I installed XP specifically to try out the beta. I think it's just the story that didn't grab me, the combat was fine, the characters and the game looks very nice, and the game does start to feel different to other mmo's once you get to level 8-10ish. But the game just didn't grab me, i didn't like the lack of races, and i find for some reason the crazy customisability of player characters to detract from the immersion in this game world. I mean gnome sized people with heads as big as an elephant with feet like flippers really jars with me. I do like the ability to buy spellbooks for skills above your level so when you level in the wild you can instantly leanr new spells without going back to the trainer. I also like how abilities scale, a feature i'm glad to see is coming to WoW in a few months. Overall, i'm not convinced, but I imagine if i could be bothered to play a character up to level 20 i might start to get into the game a bit more.

Can't be arsed to get involved with arguind here. I've given advice, and answered questions and now i take my leave to go and play with iTunes 9.

People will know due to the release candidate being made available by M$. It's the best version of windows, with some good UI updates and about time too. Still, according to all the critics OS X is still the best operating system in the world for most people. I've just installed XP on my moms iMac after nearl 3 years of being OS X only. Using Bootcamp on the mac was effortless, and made everything really easy. So i now have the choice to boot into Snow Leopard or XP on the iMac. So, at worst, you'll have a kick ass laptop which has the choice of runing either OS X or XP/Vista as you see fit. Yay for choice. I will also say that going back to XP is horrible, and a bit like being stuck in the 70s.

Be brave and try something different, or stay with the same old same old. In this case "better the devil you know" doesn't apply.
