Mr. Bananagrabber

It's worth waiting. I completely fucked up my GCSE's because I was too busy playing games. It's only a month, not a long time in the grand scheme of things.

Pretty crappy list you've got there. 10. Eternal Darkness 09. Killer 7 08. Soul Calibur 2 07. Viewtiful Joe 06. Resident Evil 4 05. Ikaruga 04. Super Smash Bros. Melee 03. F Zero GX 02. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 01. Metroid Prime Is more like it.

Guyz, how much is Boom Boom Rocket and is it worth the price?

Since it's launch Sony has shipped more than 25 million of the portable gaming devices and at least one analyst predicts that will hit 29 million by the end of the year. And with the recent drop in price, the PSP has already seen a 300 percent increase in sales. This jump in sales, be it a temporary spike or a signs of things to come, comes with the surprising news that the UMD movie format is also making a bit of a recovery.As we approach the heart of 2007, Sony sees this as being the year of the Playstation Portable, a year that saw a price drop and return of the UMD, a year that is seeing a change in the portables marketing and a year that will see a slew of major PSP announcements. "In 2005 we launched the product, last year about establishing the software," said John Koller, senior marketing manager for the PSP. " think this is going to be the year for PSP, I think it's going to be a fantastic year for it. A very very good year." Koller said decision to drop the Playstation Portable to $169 was threefold. "We got some cost savings out of the product, and we wanted to pass that on to the consumers," he said. "The second reason was we looked at the Wal-Mart experience over black Friday, that was really a good point to go to that price point. Lastly, we are really trying to promote the PSP heavily toward the 13 to 17 consumer group." That new, younger market that Sony is shooting for is one that has seen a significant increase in the past year, Koller said. In fact, 13 to 17-year-olds are the largest group of PSP owners. "I think that goes back to content," he said. "A lot of the games that have launched have done a lot to target that group on its own." "The campaign we are including with the price drop is called Dude, Get Your Own," he said. "We've seen an increase in sales immediately." In the the first two days following the PSP's price drop there was a 300 percent increase in the number of the portables sold. And with that increase among teen gamers has come a jump in the amount of downloading. Video is the top type of download, with music coming in at number two, Koller said. While the interest in downloadable content is at an all-time high, Koller still declined to talk about when or if Sony will be launching its own store for content. Koller was able to talk about UMD, a format I and many gamers and writers thought was dying. Not only is Sony not thinking of ditching the format, it seems to be making a come back. UMD movie sales were actually up 35 percent from 2005 to 2006, Koller said. And that jump in sales enticed Target to bring the format back to their stores. And games too are attracting attention, with more developers creating original content for the portable. "Our greatest successes take place when publishers and developers recognize the value of the PSP owner as a PSP owner not repurposing a title," Koller said. "We've actively encouraged third parties in that direction." The upcoming God of War title for the PSP is a good example of that, he said. It will be unique to the PSP, offering an extension of the plot that made the first two games such a success. "I think you're going to see a lot more of that," he said. "I think third party is starting to understand the value of doing that." Riding a wave of increased interested, higher sales and better titles, Sony plans to make some big announcements about the PSP in the near future. "There will be some major PSP announcements this year," he said, "they will be coming over the course of the next few months."

If Dead Rising 2 has an online co op and Jessie takes her shirt off I will buy it.

I spent half an hour searching for 'Firefly happy birthday' and 'Enterpise happy birthday' on google images. But all I found was really buff men not wearing many clothes. Happy Birthday.

July/August is our best bet. Someone just pick a date.

I'll go to an Alton Towers near the middle of the country, this July, for 3 days. Shouldn't be too much if we all share the damage for the hotel and buy our own meals/snacks/drinks.

lol, whut?

Love that song. Even in French :p It was used when Turk proposed, right?

Hey Domstercool! I have something that'll make you smile:

Guys, this is a bit of a noobish question, so bare with me. How do I view video's and pictures I have on my PC on my 360 upstairs? I have an ethernet cable connecting the two, but everytime I try to view anything it says it can't find a PC.

Who honestly owns a 360 and doesn't own GOW?

I saw the ending coming.

Harribo, you rock. It's from the showrunners of The Simpsons season 4-8 I believe. It's pretty great.

Surely there's a difference between loving someone and being in love with someone? I love my friends and family, I'm not in love with them. I think it's perfectly fine to say you love something or one, because it's not the same special feeling as being in love with someone.

I like House, but everytime I watch it I feel like i'm watching Dr. Cox lite y'know? Anyway, I watched this episode again and it really got to me a lot more the second time

Yeah, I know that now. But when I was younger it was all about Misty.

Two Cadbury's ones, as it turns out. Bought one myself though.

Misty from Pokemon.

Really good episode (Besides the robot stuff, wtf?). It didn't make me shed some tears at the end like My Old Lady and my Screw Up did, but excellent drama all the same.

Disgusting isn't it?

Exactly. I think if the Wii can compete with 2 systems with more power using quirky and genuinley interesting games like the DS has combated the PSP, then Nintendo and gamers everywhere are laughing. I suppose the DS had a lot of rubbish ports at launch (So did the 360 actually ) and it turned into a world enveloping phenomenon. If the DS can do it, it's silly to write the Wii off. Although I am scared shitless than I might of spent £180 on a machine i'd only use for No More Heroes.

You son of a bitch.
