Kelso: Hang on, both your hands are on the clipboard. So who...?

I was looking at the Wavebirds on Play.com for £17.99 yesterday as I want a second one to go with the first one I bought for me Wii. I came to buy one today and they're not for sale anymore (except through their Marketplace duplicate)! I would prefer to get a new controller rather than second hand, but the best price I can find is on ChipsWorld for £29.99. Does anyone have any better tips (UK based), or do I have to wait it out and hope Play get some more stock in? I'm a little loath to be paying over the odds!

If UK people aren't already sitting on the site 24-7, go to http://www.wii-consoles.co.uk. They even have a facility that will pop up a window when there are Wiis in stock! I will be trying to purchase my Wii over the next few weeks now, I finally have the funds available!

This is a good thing - Strikers works well with normal controls, and it shows other people that you don't HAVE to use motion controls just because they're available (Marvel Ultimate Alliance anyone?) Great. There's obviously the worry of people spamming matches to get up the leaderboard as someone said, but it will definitely help cut down on disconnectors. Woo! That could be great. You could make the best player play on his own. Much fun!

There's more here, plus a (badly hosted) video. Linky I have but two words for you: Ranked. Series. FTW. Ok, that's three (or six if you expand the TLA) - I'm excited ok?

Cooooool

Skynet! ARRRGGGGHHH!

I think you're worried too much about the not-kissing. If she does like you (and it seems she does), then she'll give you another opportunity. Something to look forward to!

Some sort of game dev cook-off?

Try and take her somewhere a bit chilled - not oppressively posh. Else the atmosphere will be all wrong and you'll crap yourself. Although that does not mean McDonalds I think the best advice I can give is to just treat her as if she were just a friend - i.e. just chat about whatever comes to mind. Don't try to impress her, cos you'll inevitably fail. Although if you knew my relationship history, you probably wouldn't be taking my advice Although I managed to hold a relationship together for 3 years, so I can't be too bad. I'm much better at telling other people what to do though

Happy St Georges! Nice to see the weather is joining in with the celebrations, with some traditional English rain

I hope I win 'Best Newcomer who doesn't actually even own a Nintendo console yet 2007'

We wish. Last I heard of BWii was a late May release. And SSBB could be anytime between now and next year!

BOOM! Headshot! PP pwns

Where is it eh? EH?! *taps foot impatiently*

There's a reason Windwaker was the first game I bought for the Wii I will be getting in the next few weeks

I've just been reading this thread, and wonder if The Bard has anything better to do than slate everyone in sight Time for everyone to hold hands and sing a happy song. As long as it doesn't fit into Bard's definition of 'not worthy' LOL nice

I would recommend Sandisks. I've had a couple in my digital camera for over 3 years without a hiccup. Plus they're not unreasonably priced either.

Pah, clearly there are no concrete pillars in the palace that is Villa Park

As I said on Kotaku - clearly this is where the girl from Annie has been hiding all these years

The Ratatouille game is confirmed on the THQ website to be up for release in Q3, 2007. Not that interesting, but there you go! http://www.thq-games.com/uk/search/index/1?platform=7

You should get Metallica - S&M. Such an immense live album! My favourite 'tallica album is Load, which is quite different to the whole Puppets/Lightning era, but awesome nonetheless. Gotta agree with you on the Puppets front though. MASTER! MASTER!

Lightning Seeds = two of the best football songs ever written. 1. Three Lions 2. The Life Of Riley (OK, not actually a football song, but so many happy Match Of The Day memories )

Some classic pop songs, but I wouldn't buy their albums, just a best of (which I have!). 7/10 Ben Folds

I think they meant 11 holes, which is less satisfactory!
