Use this thread for magazine stuff, exclusives, news and summaries. --- This month's EDGE just popped through the door. PS3 covermount with a cheeky Wii on the back. Comes with a free guide of everything to the PS3. What annoys me most about the price hike is that the quality has noticeably gone down.. 2 months ago the cover's were not centered right so the spine was on the back of the issue and all the pages got butchered. Last month several of the pages at the front fell out and this month it's a few degrees out of place. 50p extra but the professionalism has gone down. Maybe this just applies to subscribers. I used to buy it in store and they were all perfect. Anyhow I know next to nothing about Sony this generation so the PS3 guide will be quite interesting anti fanboy propaganda. Features -Oddworld studios have shut down but Lorne Lananing is determined to remain in videogames (true shame about that, Oddworld rocked) -The future of animation and humanising gaming. -Time extend on Ratchet and Clank -Black and White feature comparing the Wii and PS3 on a philosophical level.

ROFL ME LOFL1!

HHSHSHSHSHHS DIDN"T NOTICE THE CONTRADICTION BETWEEN ME DISLIKING POOP JOKES AND MY SIGNATURE. CARYY ON. NO MY SIG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE IMAGE. SEE ANCHROMAN for education in comedy.

My mother has a penis. It's called FANBOY.

HOLY SHIT. SONY CAN DO THAT? AI HAS REALLY TAKEN A STEP FORWARD! When they said live in your world Play in ours.. I thought they were joking! LOCK UP YOUR WOMEN!

Pokemon cards, games consoles, sneakers. We only focus on the commercial side of attacks. It happens all the time, completely unmotivated. But there's no sensationalism in that. Where is the headline in "Women gets mugged by drunk?" there's nothing. It's a dry story so it doesn't get coverage. The world sucks.

Bet you Tesco ain't doing pre-orders. Tesco is a 24 hour store. I bet I can just waltz on in and pick one up the day before launch. "Hello teenage assistant, can you go check if you have this in stock?" Err well I'm not.. "Do it" - Here ya go. "Thank you."

PS3 ones have been thought of. Console and poop jokes aren't that funny. Try again.

Who 5 starred this thread after I 1 starred it? FREAKS the link doesn't work, the evidence is gone and the only accounts I can find are buggy and inconsistent. It's bollocks.

That is what you get for going with a non game specialist retailer. Also calm the hell down. I don't have a pre-order yet and I won't start worrying until 5 days before the system launches. Midnight openings are being advised against except for press events because the risk of mugging. I wouldn't hesitate to threaten someone for a PS3 given the chance

Sky News is not watched by normal people anyway..

No because that will result in the headlines like CHILD RAPED BY WII 'BUDDY'

How can you put a percentage on something liek a control scheme. It works or it doesn't. It's a primary function.. the game shouldn't progress unless it works. Every button should do something, if it doesn't do something the button shouldn't be used. Simple philosophy. Seeing as Metroid has been going since the earliest stages of Wii development any controller problems going into 2007 are unnacceptable. It looks quite pacey with the music.

3 more reviews and Zelda makes it into the top 10 games ever made list. Bumping off RE4 for the PS2

Thread is a 4040.

Neither, it's a joke. Expect it late Spring 2007.

We will have shit schedules if Nintendo Europe is in charge. Nintendo US has Reggie running a tight ship, where as Nintendo Europe is more like the Child Support Agency. The Main channels will be international infastructure.. news is done by Associated Press (highly regarded) and weather by NASA. Where as virtual console games can come out whenever Nintendo Europe see fit. Which means they will be slack (already indicated by the lack of MSX and PC-Engine.)

Opera: Free until June 2007. News Channels: Apparently a generic RSS centric service for international and personal news Weather: Free dealy with some met office somewhere in the world.. uses satelites. I will just use my computer.. as someone cleverly pointed out. Who has access to a Wii and wireless internet but not a computer? Computers do the job better. I will only use the shop for Wii points, saving me the hassle of going down the shop.

Rules. worth a read. 1. Contest lasts 48 hours. 2. One entry per person 3. Winner of the contest decides on the image for the next day's contest. Previous winner decides on the winner of the next competition. 4. Previous winner may not enter a caption for their own image. 5. Nothing too dirty, racist or otherwise below the belt. 6. Prizes are that you get to say in your signature "I'm pro" etc.. and I will make some kind of badge in photoshop. 7. Judges decision is final. 8. Use http://imageshack.us/ please Images will be PMed to me in a timely fashion for 'quality' control. Otherwise I will decide on another image and another winner. You snooze you lose. Picking your friends as winners does not get you respect or glory. Photoshop should be used to compliment the comedy if at all. I think this will be one of the few threads that takes advantage of the 'banned from specific thread' feature recently implemented. So don't be an ass or you will lose out. --- Hall of Fame (click for winning image) 1. Fresh 2. Mr_Odwin 3. Substeinar 4. Mr_Odwin --- Current caption closes Wednesday afternoon.

That's quite high resolution, but I don't see why they didn't just support DVDs. Apparently it comes with software for Windows only. So Mac users will have to either purchase or illegally obtain a QuickTime 7 serial to take advantage of this. I won't be though.. it's more effort than it's worth when you consider that video compression is extremely intensive and time consuming. No need for USB and external hard drives, Wii will probably support CDs and DVDs with these files burnt straight onto it. I think the media player is gonna be a half arsed last thought, but it does give promise to the possibility of getting games trailers and exclusive content direct from Nintendo.

I'm more in the mood for Kalamari Wrestler!

The book is better because it has more time to delve into the characters.. in the film the flash backs are tiny. It makes the film so much more dynamic when you know that there is 15 years of family hatred behind a killing. The film is uber violent but the original story is actually more graphic because of that dynamic. It makes you cringe and will make you actively have an opinion on characters. I'll watch it.. but it's probably just mindless violence. I did enjoy the first film, but I don't rate it. I loved the teacher, especially at the end.

Freaks with their mobile phones.. why not enjoy the performance because nobody will care once you show them the quality. Me included. Platty that's what I heard too. But there is apparently room to be flexible and they could have extended the performance but someone chose not to/deliberately turned it off.

He's written some tunes but should really fade out of performing. It's tough to say that because performing is his livelihood. It's akin to saying an old person can't go fishing. However I think someone at the gig turned off his mic because of the child case.. just for a laugh. I really doubt he would walk off a performance without reason.. he's been doing it since a kid and it's just not a done thing unless you get something chucked at you/other similar situation.

No I think NTSC is working on the new Jesus game and then are going to play table tennis on the XBOX 360 for a few years.
