Wasn't the 3rd exclusive to Sony or something??.

Agreed. As many have said, we only gave Ireland 12 points because it were Jedward. Anyone else, probably not as many points. Think this is the first time in a while we've used an already established band, and we came 11th for it. Shows the EU doesn't hate us as much, which is probably 1/2 the reason why we ranked lower down the result list in recent years.

I'm giving it a shot, until i get bored. As i mentioned, it would be a great idea. But i don't think Epic would do this, not with 4 months before Gears 3 comes out.

Ditto, i shall be trying hard to achieve my wings. Because there is an unlock in Gears 3 if you get to Level 100 in Gears 2

If Epic do that, i'll be pleased. But if they don't, it isn't a biggy. 4 months wait, then i can near-guarantee that no-one will be on Gears 2 no more. Doubt Epic will change anything on Gears 2 now though.

I too also believe that countries have bad taste in music, even our own country. How can the UK even give Jedward 12 points is beyond me. It's all this factory driven Cowell product that we have on TV. But again, the rigging was obvious. Now 50% of the vote comes from Judges and 50% from the viewers, so not so bad with the rigging.

Project Cafe having FULL backwards compatibility (plays Wii and GC disks and access to the existing Virtual Console) Annoucing something special for the 25th Anniversary of Zelda Shigsy doing sommersaults around the stage (one can hope can't they) A full online enabled F-Zero title (can't believe they missed out on the Wii) Nintendo actually bringing titles to Project Cafe that appeal to all types of gamers

I'm saying it in general because the decent songs 1/2 the time don't get high on the list. As Eddie said, the Eastern European countries all vote high for each other thus. The songs over in that direction may not be any good, but somehow they win.

Info for those with retail unlocks

I have a working cart of No Mercy, when i mean working i mean working. No wiping of the saves, nothing. Where-as my mate had one of the 90% that failed. Probably because i waited a few months before getting my copy.

Once again proving that this is no longer "Eurovision" but "Riggovision".

Got 28/50 names, missed quite a few out. Even some obvious ones. Well, techically 29 names. The quiz doesn't count Sheikah in the list. Pleasantly surprised to see myself on the list.

Oh dear, i didn't expect the UK to win at all. But, i expected the UK to finish above Jedward. And we couldn't even do that. Dear oh dear, i need to rest.

Too true, easily find a copy on ebay for around £50. And i don't think the multiplayer works anymore, being an old Xbox Live game. Unless i'm wrong.

Not fussed really. Soul Calibur IV lacked what Soul Calibur II had in a big way, i enjoyed the 2nd game beyond anything. Soul Calibur V needs the passion and soul of II to even reach my attention. I thought IV had that, i was mistaken.

Update time My spare code is no longer available, sorry about that guys and gals.

I was half expecting an achievement for that as well, or for wiping all the fruits and veg off the stalls in Old Town. And half expecting an achievement for setting the alarm off as well. I'll let you know if the code is still available around 9pm (ish).

I do prefer the Gold Lancer this time around, because it does look like Gold. Unlike in Gears 2, that was a bit OTT really. I can offer a code as well, as i too was sent one. As long as my mate doesn't want it, it can be anyones.

You should get it done tonight, or tomorrow.

If the Portuguese get more points than the UK, then i don't know. If Jedward and the Portuguese get more points than the UK, i'll turn into the Hulk. This contest is a joke, all the Eastern EU countries vote highly for each other so they win near-enough each year. I still think this song should have won

Steal kills like i did, or go on King of the Hill and shoot anything that moves. You can get the kills in no time. Easier and quicker than getting the matches complete.

Beta is up until Sunday 15th (next week), make the most of it. I got my 90 matches, retail Gold Lancer, Cole Train and 2 Flaming Weapon skins with a week to spare.

Like that kid last year who only had friends because of his football.

Hmm, i stole everyones kills to get mine.
