  1. Excuse the language but fucking hell.

     

    So did Ladbrokes have NFS up at those 8-1 odds?

     

    I'd have put no end on at that. Only just woken up to see it's at evens already.

     

    Demonmike, don't talk silly, just how many Xbox360's are you expecting to be sold that the top selling game on it will outsell something being sold on PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, PC, DS, and Gameboy? (It's out on 360 as well I reckon).

  2. Are there forums there or something, or an email address? It'd probably save you a lot of potential trouble if you just asked them that.

     

    My plan is to wait until they release the odds, that way I'm hoping it'll become apparent how they're going to judge it. If they're going to judge it seperately then they'll possibly be the two different options to choose from.

     

    Having said that I think their winner is the one that comes out the top of the ELSPA chart, so it'd depend on what they decide.

     

    I'll maybe e-mail ELSPA actually.

     

    The main problem I see arising is that the two different versions be counted seperately and the Black Edition will eat into the sales of the other one. Having said that of the two I'll put my money on the standard edition.

     

    (If anyone is reading all this you have too much time on your hands).

  3. Need For Speed: Most Wanted is pretty high up there.

     

    Yep, having looked into it some more I'm next to certain that I'll be putting my money on it.

     

    It's on eight different formats from what I can gather.

     

    The only thing that makes me a little unsure is that there appears to be something called the "Black Edition", which seems to feature more cars and a DVD or something. It looks like it's only on PS2, but it concerns me that that's where I'd imagine any title to shift most units, plus I wonder if the 'Black Edition" sales will count towards the final sales of Need For Speed Most Wanted under some sort of umbrella heading that'll include both versions.

  4. Never saw the appeal in Little Britain, the cripple just says "Yes, I know." Then the stunning revelation comes, he isn't a cripple at all. What a jape.

     

    Got to agree.

     

    What's needed is floppy cocks and pubic hairs on bedclothes.

     

    Nah, I didn't actually see the show in truth. I'll maybe catch next weeks, so possibly a real opinion then!

  5. As I'm sure some of you will remember, as we approached Xmas last year I brought up this subject.

     

    As interesting a topic as it is anyhow, it's made even more interesting when you put some money on it.

     

    Last year I bet 15 quid that Need For Speed Underground 2 would be the highest selling game in the week before Xmas, it won me 130 pounds or something like that.

     

    So I've been looking into betting this year. The odds aren't up yet, but having emailed Ladbrokes.com (who I bet with last year) they've informed me the odds are going up tomorrow.

     

    Now, keep in mind something multiformat has by far the best chance of shifting the most copies, any ideas on what it'll be people?

     

    I'm not certain, but is there a new Need For Speed game out? (Most Wanted or something). If so that's got to be an obvious pick.

     

    From my experience last year it makes sense to place your bet as early as possible as you're most likely to get the best odds early on if it turns out you've made a wise choice.

     

    If you are going to place a bet, set yourself a limit you know you can afford to lose. There's no such thing as a sure thing.

  6. I have 4 games coming from them hopefully tomorrow! :hehe:

     

    :)

     

    Do you not find you end up with a pile of half-played games?

     

    I feel like a filthy slut if I buy two games within a few days of each other, nevermind more than that.

     

    I've bought three games for my DS over the past three weeks and feel that's pushing it a bit. Granted, one of them is Advance Wars which takes a bit of playing, and one of them is Mario Kart, so I could hardly wait.

  7. I think both Halo's are overratted. Good games but it's not top in the FPS genre. I would give that to Half Life 2 easily.

    Halo's levels were bland and the story didn't really pull me in at all. I like FPS that do something different rather than just look pretty with big guns and that's all Halo was to me

     

    Speaking as one of the folks that love Halo, it's far more about the mulitplayer than anything else for me.
