  1. That is indeed a shame. It looks so incredibly great! After reading that Chasing Aurora is a high-score-focused game, I begin to think it may not be for me. I hope they release a demo! I want to desire the game, it looks stunning.
  2. I believe this month-old list from the other 'launch day purchase' thread still stands: In addition to the disc games above, I am very interested in these download-only games: Toki Tori 2 Mighty Switch Force: Hyper Drive Edition Chasing Aurora
  3. PlayStation Vita Console Discussion

    I do not know if you get the Vita content without having a Vita connected to you PSN account. But if you do, I believe it is crucial that you start downloading all Vita items each month – and you can choose to not finish the downloads – or else the Vita items will not appear in your Download List to be retrieved when you finally acquire a Vita.
  4. ZombiU

    Awesome! Imagine the number of images being posted to Miiverse by players that saw no way out alive, and then frantically pressed the Home button at the last possible moment before death!
  5. I am actually thinking of taking my 3DS to the shop I bought it, and kindly demand a replacement, because of its flaws, that the label is not supposed to come off during normal use.

    People actually goes to school -- they get their bachelor or master degrees -- just to make advertisements that sell products. I mean, it is their trade, their profession. But what did they think when they made these? Who are they targeting with these, and why should people want to purchase the game after seeing them? I want to know.
  7. Homeland

    I love this show. I started watching a week after episode 1 aired last year. This is to me the best non-comedy show since Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles!
  8. Questions

    When will you add an "Nintendo Network ID" field in the forum profile?
  9. Wii U HDD Buying Options

    When I sometime in the future will need a HDD for my 32 GB Wii U, I will buy the most inexpensive 2.5" external drive. What is the smallest external 2.5" HDD found right now? 500 GB? Or can you still find 320 GB?
  10. Wii U Price Check

    I hope I get mine day one. I have three pre-orders in: Elkjøp retail (NOK 3195 / £350) (deposit: NOK 500 / £54) Elkjøp.no (NOK 3195 / £350) (paid in full) GameStop retail (NOK 3295 / £360) (deposit: NOK 50 / £ 5) All pre-orders was made within a week after the September 13th Nintendo Direct, so I expect to get at least one.
  11. The NEW New Super Mario Bros. U Thread

    After thinking of what I just saw, I actually wish I had not seen or heard that review. This was unfortunate. I regret that my enthusiasm caused this.
  12. Wii U eShop Thread

    I did not know of the minimum price. Interesting fact! This is an impressive list. Five download-only games on launch is good. And to have 17 disc games as downloads on launch is nothing less than remarkable! It is interesting to see that Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed actually have a low MSRP/RRP, and not just Amazon in UK having a crazy sale on it.
  13. Metroid on Wii U

    Is the GamePad lightweight enough to be held only by the left hand, maybe resting on the lap, functioning as the Wii Nunchuck? Then you could use the Wii Remote as in Metroid Prime 3, and the right index finger could still reach the touch screen for short commands. When needed, you could easily release hold of the Wii Remote when using the wrist strap, to use the touch screen with more pecision or for a longer period.
  14. Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two (Nov 23rd)

    This is unfortunate. I want this game to be good! I never played the original, and am interested in the sequel, but I need to read more reviews.
  15. Flamey's Steam Giveaway

    This is very kind of you! I am not playing games on my PC these days, but I am planning to assemble a new PC in the coming months. I want to play Civilization V and Sim City 2013, so need a new PC soon.
  16. PlayStation 3 Console Discussion

    Yes. Press triangle button on the item you wish to edit, choose information, and edit the 'album' name. You can choose to copy the text and paste onto all items you wish to have in the same album. You can then cycle through sort options using square button, or triangle button and then choose sort.
  17. Thank you, but I cannot rewind. I want to watch the whole thing. Anyone know where I can?
  18. Is there anywhere I can watch this now? I did not get the live stream working without regular interruptions.
  19. Wii U eShop Thread

    Maybe that is their way forward?
  20. The NEW New Super Mario Bros. U Thread

    Thank you! I am excited for this game now. Way more so than a week ago, when I hoped it would be good, but feared it to be mediocre. Then the reviews started sprouting from the earth... Two weeks now. Two weeks!
  21. Wii U eShop Thread

    After having read a lot of great things about MSF, I think it is likely I will buy MSF:HDE! I am excited for eShop, although I would love if Nintendo released compilations of eShop games on disc a few times a year! I have bought several compilations for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and prefer them to downloadable releases. Nintendo: Please, hear my call! I would love if you released compilations of eShop games on disc regularly! Be my hero!
  22. NEW! Super Mario Bros. U

    I am excited for this game now. Way more so than a week ago, when I hoped it would be good, but feared it to be mediocre. Then the reviews started sprouting from the earth... Two weeks now. Two weeks! Regarding the war on this forum, I just want this to stop. People should be able to voice their opinions, but only in a mature way.
  23. Well, it is. In Norway they had a trade-in promotion in September and October: purchase a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer, and get NOK 600 (around £65) back. That did not work at all. Background: My parents needed a new portable PC and a printer, so I helped find the proper products, and ordered for them. I ordered a HP ProBook 6570b (B6P80EA#ABN) (£850) and a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus (CM750A#BEQ) (£170), from two different sellers, and recieved them both the same week. My history with HP: September 27th: The printer arrived. The webform for the printer trade-in order was so large it took half an hour to complete. OK, this may be expected, they want their data. I sent HP my reciept the same evening, the reciept I got from the seller, an 'official HP partner'. I got an autogenerated e-mail after a few days telling me my return order would be cancelled in two days because reciept was not sufficient. I wrote to HP, asking what they want. The same day I wrote to the seller, telling them their reciept is not good enough. I got a reciept they believed is good enough, and I sent it to HP. I sent several messages to HP, once about every two days, asking them not to cancel my order, and asking for help, without getting one reply. October 16th: The first human reply from HP! The needed another receipt, not good enough, again. I sent an e-mail to the seller, demanding they help me with the HP trade-in order, or I would demand to return the printer for a refund. I got a new reciept, but no comment to my demands. I send HP the new reciept. I again also sent a couple of messages to HP, a few days apart, asking for information, because they did not reply after getting the new reciept. October 22nd: HP actually responds again, and tell me the new reciept is also not sufficient. Within hours of the HP reply I e-mail the seller, the 'official partner', and they say, "we see now that the previous reciepts we sent you were wrong, here is a proper reciept". I sent it to HP, and I also asked how a seller can be an 'official partner' without any knowledge on what kind of reciept is required for this heavily advertised HP promotion. October 23rd: An autogenerated message notified me that the return got approved, and they gave me a pick-up date. As expected at this point, I did not get a human reply to my message the previous day. The pick-up day came, and the transport company that picked up the old printer did not even give me a reciept on the pick-up. I wrote to HP, and asked them to acknowledge that they had recieved the printer. You think I got a reply? You guessed right. No. So now, my old printer is somewhere, I do not know where. Although useless, it was worth NOK 600! HP still does not respond. November 12th: I sent an e-mail message to the seller demanding to return the printer, and seven messages containing all my communication with HP. The ninth message I sent tonight to the seller, contained my lesson on customer service, a course HP did not take. HP has used one e-mail address to communicate with me ([email protected]), and yet they fail to keep the e-mail subject and message/communication history intact. The communication with them in my browser e-mail client is a huge mess. Even though Gmail combine e-mail messages with the same subject, I have seven 'threads' with my communication, or the lack thereof, with HP. HP manufacture servers and other hardware built for communication. I would think they managed e-mail support! They above bullet points does not even scratch the surface. I have recieved eleven autogenerated messages, and two actual human replies, and that is all I have recieved to my eighteen e-mail messages requesting help and information. I have spent at least five hours writing to HP and the seller. I am sick and tired of this company, I will never again purchase their products. I really regret I also ordered the HP ProBook for my parents the same week as I ordered the printer! This post probably has a lot of typos, and generally poor English, but I am so tired of HP I can't think straight. (And yes, I have the proper computer skills. I have not sent them a txt- or doc-file with text copied off the order confirmation from the seller's webshop, thinking that is a proper reciept, or something stupid like that.)
