Shorty

Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite Mass Effect Persona 4 For Nintendo, there was Metroid Prime. It wasn't a narrative that was forced upon you, but one you could explore by scanning and reading. It was awesome to discover the lore, instead of just observing it.

What's a shame is that Kodi's getting a bad rep from this. I've been using Kodi since it was XBMC/Openelec, as a way of streaming video files (using it for ripped dvds and unlicensed anime etc, when I was in my late teens/early twenties) to various devices from a NFS. Even back then you could get illegal stream services etc, but that was a long way from what most people were using it for. I remember it was a lot of fun trying to configure it to run on various chipsets, the first raspberry pi, and control it using a phone app or such. Now it's becoming synonymous with the illegal streams, as people sell Raspberry Pis and Firesticks with Kodi and the illegal plugins already loaded. And as Rez points out, some people don't even know they're doing anything wrong (although that's pretty ignorant, nothing is free). However, despite this, piracy must be down quite a lot, right? Netflix is spending $6bil on original programming this year or something. Steam generates millions for developers. Gabe Newell said once that the only way to beat piracy is to make it easier than piracy, and Netflix, Steam and such have made great strides in that department.

Yeah that screen looks amazing. My tablet is a bit outdated and slow, so it's pretty awesome that this console will give me a bonus way to watch Netflix etc portably, in bed, on a plane and such, and at a nice high resolution! Really looking forward to that. In fact, that must be a key selling point for them, buy a console, get a modern, fast, high res tablet with media apps, built right in!

I wondered if it stayed inside the plastic and then you had to dry that after, but now that I say it, it sounds dumb :p so yeah assume it just ends up all over your windows and walls anyway.

What were the glaring oversights?

If only there was some service that brings things right to your house! :p Sell the Wii U on ebay, buy the Switch online.... Get a much better deal than the shafting you get from trading with high street gaming retailers.

Where does all the moisture go with a Dri Buddi??

You could be trolling me. Ain't no way I'm going to my order and clicking cancel.

Well now you have a reason to put a door in

Think I'm gonna avoid this trailer for a bit, til I give in, cos I'm weak.

It's launching with functional multiplayer, with features to be added later. Why is everyone losing their minds over this? Not like we had high expectations in the first place.

I kinda like the look of that electric air dryer... might get one of those myself. Couldn't you put a condenser dryer somewhere else, eg garage?

Simply Games are great, very fast deliveries.

I can't cancel Zelda bought with my Switch through Nintendo's store they don't do any amendments to an order once it's been placed. Meaning I'd have to cancel my Switch (and then obviously not be able to get one, because it's sold out) to cancel the game. I guess I can return it when it arrives, at cost to me... ridiculous.

This is interesting: After the free-trial period, most games will require a paid online service subscription from Nintendo in order to play online.

The idea that you can't listen to game audio and chat audio through headphones is just insane.

I'll be using another console for Netflix so it can be Switch controller charging time >.>

I kinda preordered the LE assuming it would be good, only just looked at what's in it, what a load of crap :p cancelled and pre-ordered the regular edition at that Prime price.

I preordered from amazon, then cancelled. Then it sold out, and I felt a bit of PSVR deja vu. So I put another pre-order on Nintendo. IMO, best to have the pre-order you can cancel within the next 6 weeks, than decide you want it and not be able to.

Kodi is a media player, latest iteration of XBMC, built mainly for playing personal media and being highly portable, but can be sideloaded onto a firestick (basically just Android on a dongle for £20-£25 with a nice remote) and with plugins can be used for streaming from other sources. Obvs we don't advocate anything illegal so I'm not going to explain how to do anything Kodi wasn't built for and you should of course never do that.

Bloody hell man, three PS4s and you can't splash out on something a bit nicer for your piracy habits, like a firestick with kodi? :p Console browser... you masochists.

@Sméagol aka he who cannot be quoted in firefox I saw it at an indie cinema in the UK

Your Name (kimi no name wa), wonderful film, not surprised it's done so well in the box office for an anime movie. Check it out.

The full width theme still looks fine to me. A server hosting some aspects might've been down or slow yesterday as we launched a festival site in a hurry/without a CDN to hit a deadline... :p
