    Those screens look so awesome ^^ I really loved Ninja Gaiden Black / Sigma, so this is gonna be a must buy for me, will get the demo too and the game is apparently due out a week before MGS4, excellent timing. *Edit* Third pic down is now my new desktop background. :P

    Yes it is very cynical of them, I'll be doing the same too, gonna get two copies from my local independant retailer (my brothers getting it too) I'm glad I bought Brawl off you now though Welsh as on the chance that I don't have Mario Kart Wii to play at least I'll have Brawl to play. Still though I really want to get MK on launch too.

    I know it's a joke, I ordered as soon as it became available too, as I said I reckon they are putting priority to those who ordered it for £39.99 so they are making an extra tenner yes but this may well lose them good customers in the long run... Bakka! Play.com Baaakkka! ><

    Notice for anyone who pre-ordered Mario Kart Wii on Play.com months in advance... I just recieved the following e-mail from them... "Dear Sir Thank you for your recent order for Mario Kart (including Wii Wheel) Due to the allocation given to us by Nintendo we are unable to fulfil your order on the date of release. Unfortunately at this time we are unable to advise when we will be receiving more stock of this item however please be assured that we will endeavour to obtain more stock as soon as possible. Please note that you have not been charged for the item, if you wish to cancel this order then please log into your account and select the Cancel Order option. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused in this matter and thank you for your valued custom. Kind Regards Play.com" "insert expletive of choice here" >> basically I pre-ordered in early February which isn't exactly "recent" and when I pre ordered it, it was listed as just Mario Kart at £29.99 but in recent weeks they changed the listing to Mario Kart with Wii Wheel and bumped up the price to £39.99 >< however any order placed at £29.99 they will still honor that. But it seems what they have done is given priority to those who pre-ordered it at £39.99 only a few days / a week ago as they have since stopped taking pre-orders, I know they are a business and all that but to me it's unacceptable :/ I can still get a copy from my local independant retailer (hopefully) but the way Play.com are treating earlier pre-orders for this game is just plain wrong.

    It's simple, for multiformat games generally speaking, more versions = less time spent on console specific versions, what can be ported gets ported and then any console specific traits get tacked on. I have sort of hopes for this game but it will score an 8.2 at most I reckon.

    Happy Birthday EEVILMURRAY! << >> Shabba!

    If the Wii version is just a shitty PS2 + "waggle" port then I'm getting the 360 version... come to think of it, if the 360 version is better then I'll be getting that version, so basically the Wii version is gonna have to be pretty damn significant over other versions for me to consider getting it.

    I was gonna wait it out but I got the opportunity to buy it for £34 with a freeloader delivered and I just couldn't not buy it tbh. Besides it's ludicrous that after nearly a month of it being released in the US and Nintendo STILL haven't even given Europe a date to count down to, it's just too cruel...

    I did wonder about that, I may try without it tomorrow, thanks. If it works without then I'll just rig up a component cable or something directly into the Tv just for playing PS2 games. Having said that though I've just been playing MGS3 and I'm really enjoying it, not noticing the bars as much but still, it'd just be awesome to have it running full screen, anyways will try a few things tomorrow. ^^

    I'm playing MGS3 Subsistence from the essentials collection atm, really enjoying it. ^^

    Nope but you do need to connect it to the PS3 with the USB cable once, and to charge it, other than that your good to go. *edit* question for Dom (or anyone else with a USA PS3) : do PS2 games run at proper full screen for you on your USA PS3? If so what cable and tv are you using? I'd really like to get those USA PS2 games running in fullscreen if possible. ^^ I'm currently using... Samsung 23" TV, HDMI 1.3a lead (even though it says on the cable it's 1.3) and I'm running it through an AV box which has HDMI passthrough, any help appreciated; thanks.

    Possibly... though I googled the issue and it's occoured on both PAL and USA PS3's, so it's probably the TV... mines a 23" Samsung.
  18. S.C.G
    I tried that but I still get bars. :/
  19. S.C.G
    Is anyone able to get PS2 games running at proper full screen on their PS3 without two black sidebars? If so how and on which TV? I'm currently using a Samsung and I can't seem to be able to get it to display them in proper or even stretched full screen, it's annoying cos it's so close lol, two small bars either side though :/ was just wondering if anyone has managed to get full screen out of their PS2 games on a PS3, thanks.

    Question : - Do PS1 games that are downloaded from the PSN run at full screen?
  21. S.C.G
    *strokes USA 60GB PS3* Got a package through the post today, I opened it thinking it would be Metal Gear Solid collection but it was... FFVIII... so I was neither dissapointed nor ecstactic It's a shame that there isn't a way to stretch PS1 games slightly so they fo proper full screen, anyways FFVIII seems good, was only testing it though, will probably play it properly closer to when FFXIII (13?) comes out, whenever that is. At least all those NTSC PS2 games I ordered will be full screen though. (I hope) ^^
  22. S.C.G
    It might as well be true, both will happen eventually anyway and it's only going to be confirmation, we will still have to wait for the games to be made.

    GTA IV

    Wow, the hype continues, I'm gonna get this but I really hope it manages to live up to the immense amount of hype that it's currently riding on.

    Imo Ikaruga only sucks IF you suck at it, otherwise it's easily one of the best vertical shooters you can get, you just have to give it a proper chance thats all.

    How long is "long"? maybe they are longer if you are playing the USA version on an EU console? /wishful thinking... but seriously surely they can't be as bad as the load times on certain 360 / PS3 games which I have found to be criminal in terms of wait time.
