I don't want to be a tight bastard but I really hope they knock another £5 off the price. I'm so skint but I want this so badly!

Yep, my copy has been dispatched from Play as well. Although I'm yet to play it, after seeing lots of reviews and hearing a host of positive things, I'm really looking forward to playing it. I recommend people pick this up, especially at such a good price! Hopefully it'll turn up tomorrow or Saturday and I'll sit through it this weekend.

I don't know to be honest. Pretty stupid though either way.

The Wii, as a console doesn't support MP3's anymore (Photo channel). The feature was removed because the Wii supports Apple's AAC format instead. I think this has something to do with the removal and also why Excitetruck (the disc) still supports MP3's. How many people have AAC formatted files on a memory stick or SD Card. My guess is it was removed to avoid confusion, yet this is contradicted by the Photo Channel. Nintendo are wierd.

I have a 32" because anything under that doesn't really compliment HD. The Wii looks pretty poor on it to be honest but Cel shaded games look amazing, the coulours are incredible when compared to an CRT. I would say that if you want an LCD get 26" or less but the benefit of HD (if you actually watch any) won't be as pronounced. If you're wanting 37 + Definatly get a plasma because the Wii through componant looks AMAZING on any size screen, just be careful about screen burn. If it's a 32" then I'd go with LCD but it's at 32 inches that the Wii starts to look really, really jaggy. It's a tough choice where you will have to sacrifice something (HD quality, Wii Quality or your money).

Import time.

I'm hoping for a spin off or sequal to Morrowind. Oblivion was good but Morrowind was better. I can't wait either way.

It's simple really: If Hero-of-Time likes it, you know it's a good game. I've gone for games in the past due to his advice and will be going for more when I get some cash (Swords & Soldiers, Little Kings story & Order up!) I also think it's great to see most people on here owning games like de Blob and Boom Blox that had poor exposure and maybe didn't sell great but are truly awesome games that no-one who enjoys gaming should miss out on.

Here's my dazzling collection... US Games Animal Crossing: City Folk Boom Blox Godfather Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess Manhunt 2 Metroid Prime 3 No More Heroes Okami Red Steel Resi Evil 4 Super Mario Galaxy Smash Bros Brawl Trauma Center New Blood Wii Sports Zack and Wiki UK games Bully De Blob Dewy's Adventure Disaster DoC House of the Dead Overkill MadWorld Mario Kart Wii PES 2009 Wii Fit Wii Gay. Not a bad collection to be honest there's still a few I'm after and heaps of games newly released on the horizen that have my attention. Only owing a Wii makes it much easier to dedicate all my gaming time and gaming funds towards it as opposed to just getting a few great games between 360/PS3 ones. I have a decent collection of 25+ VC games which are all on my US wii (RELEASE MAJORA'S MASK DAMMIT!) and 5 WiiWare games: Strong Bad 1, Lost Winds, World of Goo, Onslaught and Bit.Trip Beat. Sit all of this alongside my N64 and Gamecube and they just gather dust. I'm after a DS Lite next purely for pokemon and GTA.

Do play take cash on dispatch out of interest or do you pay when you pre-order?

Sweet! I was going to import this next week as its only $34 which is about £20. But I'll just get it here now, thanks!

This game is starting to look like all kinds of win. After strongly being in the omg wtf camp after it was revealed and then ignoring it, I now want this game. I blame Cassamssina and Bozon for plugging it every single week on the podcast and some of the videos, especially the training one have me sold. Ooh and the music is awesome. I'll be buying for sure, but the thing is where do I fit it in between Little King's Story, Kororinpa 2, Excitebots and Klanoa. 2009 is shaping up to be the best Nintendo gaming year since the 2nd year of Gamecube and we haven't even had a major first party announcment yet.

While I think the 'bots' element is lets face it, pretty gay. It seems that alot of the praise coming out of America is directed towards the little critters, especially the personality they seem to posess. I for one am sure it will provide an intersting gameplay dynamic and I strongly believe that "Excitebots" will have the ability to sell more than excitebike 2 or excitetruck 2 simply because of the heightened casual appeal. Sure it's not what purists may have wanted but after hearing so much praise about the gameplay and depth, I don't care what I'm racing in as long as it provides a good experience that takes the excite truck formula and expands on it. Plus in a wierd way it's like Stunt Racer FX Deluxe Wii edition, and that's just purely cool.

If there's no news in the next couple of months I'm just going to import it, I think. I hope this doesn't follow the same trend as Disaster DoC. Would be a shame but I wouldn't put it past Nintendo.

Still hoping to pick this up but I'm desperatly low on cash, I think I'm going to wait until it hits £20 but I'm refusing to buy it second hand.

I know you definatly can on Sky but I'm not sure about freeview. If not try the BBC iPlayer or the BBC F1 website. Good session today, was a bit gutted Vettel didn't get pole and glad to see the midfield a bit mixed up. If Massa is light he could lead come turn one with his KERS boost off the line, should be a good race.

It may help the topic if you tell the forum what type of TV and cabling you are using. Obviously coupling a componant cable with an HDTV via 480p will cause jaggies on a similar level to what is present in most wii games. However, if you are using an Advanced Scart (RGB) cable on a smaller CRT TV the issue will certainly be less pronounced. Additionally the console based versions of GTA San Andreas did not feature anti-aliasing which makes thin objects such as telephone wires break up and cause the 'jaggyness' effect that you are experience. Unfortuantly this is the issue for all owners of the game regardless of the cabling and television set being used. After viewing a few screenshots and videos online it seems this is indeed the case. One course of action you could take is to call Rockstar Games on +01(410)933-9191. Incidentally the company is based in New York so call charges are likely to be fairly expensive, however they may be in a better position to respond to your query in a quick and concise manner. Hope this was of some help

Topic of 2009. /competition

Heard this game runs in 50hz only. Does it have borders like MadWorld or does it run in fullscreen? If not I'll get the US version.

Per chance, do you fit in this category? You're dumb enough to be unable to spell dumb and you're stupid enough to administer incorrect usage of the "caps lock" key. You also clearly went to a school where punctuation and grammer were omitted from the criteria.

I don't have many "collectables" as such but amongst my gaiming collection is... Rocket Robot on Wheels. I'm immensly proud to still own that and the box in pristine condition. It's a bloody great game as well.

Can anyone help me... I'm going to buy a 120gb iPod from Comet in a deal with a surround sound system for £130, so I'm going to sell my old one... It's a white 30gb 5th gen model. Boxed with USB cable but no headphones. It's 3 years old and in good working order, however it's cosmetically scratched and has an imprint across the screen as the picture shows. It's in top working order though and has never let me down in the 3 years I've owned it. Battery usually lasts a good 10-13 hours on a full charge... So, what's roughly it worth techoheads?? Thanks

I'll post more pics when I get home tomorrow evening. If anyone want's it for £60 let me know...

What price? I was thinking £50-60
