That Guy

I've got no chance then. Looks like Friday will be a 360 day for me then. Might phone up Asda and ask about queues and stock and depending on the answer then I wont bother. Don't even know if it's worth a trip into town to look for one there.

Can't, got work, booked Friday off to play. Were you all at big city stores though? Tamworth isn't exactly small, but it is compared to places like Brum n that.

Well, I would have thought you'll be ok, esp since you've not heard anything.

Oh God, really? I was going to turn up about 10.30 and wait for an hour and a half. I'm screwed aren't I? Thanks Nintendo.

LMAO I know I asked my dad and he said upstairs in the electrical bit, totally forgot there was an upstairs to Asda Phoned Asda btw if you were interested, and they said they're getting some in but they have no idea as to how many, I've said to my dad either drive me or I'm walking (I'm desperate...). Could be an utter waste of time. Have you been to any other console launches? How busy does it get?

Hmm I might give it a go, offered my dad £20 to drive me down there. Unlikely that I'll get one but I might give it a go. Things like this always fucking happen to me. Is it worth turning up early? Where's the first place in Asda I should head? I'm guessing my Gameplay order is fucked then, cus mine still says pre ordered. :'( I'm seriously gutted.

I feel like a child who's been told 'nah christmas is delayed, we're having it next week when you're back at school.

I'm gutted. I have to have it. I've the weekend booked off and everything. Has everyone got the email or what? And is this Nintendo's fault or Gameplay? Seriously. Gutted. Anyone else live in Tamworth?

What?! That SOB! Wont be as cool and funny as I am though.:awesome: Not with his space-less name. And BTW Tak, yes I am lame for being too tired for Gears. I hate work.

Totally. Japanese are totally open to games like this, whereas we wouldn't be. I have to say though, the game does just seem like a demo to the system, so I'm glad it's been included.

Have Sony ever actually said 'Our consoles great because...' or have they just slagged off every console EVER.

Yeah, course it wont. I wont be on this weekend, cus for me I'll be playing Monkey Ball and Zelda literally the entire weekend. But next week or the week after I'll be back to playing Gears online.

I've never been so hyped for a console ever. I've never actually had a console on launch day nd I'm well excited for Friday To me this is more exciting than christmas. I'm gonna clean up, and get ready go to bed early so I can get up early, then I'll get up about 8 and have a massive breakfast and then wait in all day for someone from parcelforce. Got both Friday and Monday off from work, just to have a long wiikend

So are we all still up for Live Gears tomorrow then? Can't be bothered with games tonight, far too tired. Will do co-op eventually Tak, just when we're both done with Zelda.

Didn't anyone see it on BBC News 24 a few weeks ago, where they called it 'Nintendos handheld machine'...

I'm not really that hyped about Halo 3 since I've never been into the previous games, and the only reason I'll get it is to play online with you lot. I'm sure I'll grow to love it eventually and see what all the fuss is about.

You know what, I think this game having achievements are what seperates it from other games like it. It's like something to aim for. I've played this for nearly 15 hours now in just 3-4 days which is unlike me, and I've actually enjoyed trying to get the achievements. And yay, at 2500 gs now. Also took the perfect picture in Dead Rising.

Not sure. I got bored of The Sims, and Animal Crossing, although in those you can be just wandering around, or just watching pretty much nothing happen, whereas in this you're always doing something, be it changing the environament to attract different pinatas, to becoming a master romancer, or just creating a whirlm concentration camp. If you can afford to take a risk with it, then go for it. If you're the kind of person who only buys a game every so often because it's all you can afford, then maybe it isn't if you're not sure of the genre.

Thats fair enough. Although I'm not a massive Sims fan, although if a Wii version is in the works I'll pick one up after liking this so much. I do like the pinata designs though. Something strangley charming about the whole game.

Lol. Me and Tak STILL haven't done co-op despite saying we were gonna like 4 times now. Probably wont for at least a few weeks now.

I want some good fecking fighters full stop. PS3 has Tekken , VF5, and Soul Calibur 3 was only on PS2 aswell. Dead or Alive 4 was good but unbalanced in my view, and aside from that I can't really see too much. Hopefully Dead or Alive 5 will be better because I've just had to re-buy Soul Calibur 2 to play on Gamecube/Wii.

Its amazing. I can't believe you of all people are dismissing it! So many people are loving this game, its getting great reviews, the lot. You're always going on about weird looking games that most people would simply ignore. Why is it that you don't like it? Seriously, it's one of the best on 360.

Cool with me.

Considering Rare's recent return to form, I'm confident this will be good, although I do hope this doesn't have the problem a fair few Rare games have in that every time it auto saves the frame rate stutters.

Yeah I'm up for it, anyone else playing? If not Thursday then suggest a day, I know some will be going out for the midnight launch.
