I had Sky put in while I was living with my parents for a few months and had the TV/Phone/Net package. By all accounts it seemed pretty damn good. Its pretty cheap because of having everything with them and the quality was always fine for me. Worked great with Live/PSN/Wii and never capped me while I was downloading a load of TV shows over it. From my personal experience I'd say its well worth it, as with most providers though, for everyone thats had a good experience people will have had a bad one.

Sorry, I didn't mean a bit different because of the Wii-Mote controls, just that its the type of game your not going to get anywhere else. To be fair the game was developed to use the Cube pad rather than the remote, and I agree with you, the wii-mote controls don't do the game justice at all. From that point of view I suppose it has got tacked on controls - I just think it has that little something else that means it doesn't really matter.

I would say go for NiGHTS or Ghost Squad. NiGHTS is something a bit different and not just because its had Wii-Mote controls tacked on like so many other games. Ghost Squad is short but a lot of fun with plenty to go back and do again. With either I don't think you'll go too far wrong and your getting something that you won't see on PS3 or 360.

I got mine along with Ghost Squad a little while ago, they're sitting on my desk with the new Phantasy Star and I'm really looking forward to playing them. NiGHTS is the big one though, I've waited so long for this game and due to being away this weekend I'm going to have to wait even longer now. Definately a good week for the Wii.

I'm really excited about this, been waiting for 11 years! Hopefully work will give me my copy before I leave today but I have a bad feeling I'm going to be waiting until next week to get it.

Is there meant to be some problem with that? Mines been like that since I got it and I've never had any issues.

My current lounge, the TV/Consoles set up is a cable disaster due to having to use two tables rather than a proper AV cabinet. Need to get it sorted at some point. The Computer Area: The Games and DVD's The TV: The Consoles: Was very tempted to upgrade the TV but I'm trying to be strong and keep the money for a new car fund. It'll do for now at least. Oh and sorry about the picture quality - all taken with my phone.

Just hack it off with a saw if you really need to then. Bit of wet and dry paper afterwards and it won't look too bad. Maybe :p Is it too late to send it back?

Probably doesn't come of then. My one at work is the same, just having the stand dangling in mid air is a bit strange but its a good place for a figure of Luigi to go.

There wouldn't really be that much difference at all. Instead of a few crap XBox/360 games there'd be a few crap Cube/Wii games.

Theres one quite fit one and the rest look like men - your sick.

Well I'll get NiGHTS and Ghost Squad from work and have Geometry Wars on order. I do quite fancy Zack and Wiki but doubt I'd play it too much. I'll probably wait a while for that one.

Some of my best friends are black.

I've been thinking of upgrading my TV lately, currently got a Panasonic 32TX500 but its a couple of years old now. Might upgrade to the latest 50 inch 1080p plasma from them, depends if I can find a good price on it I suppose. Definately a fan of the Panasonic sets, probably the only other brand I'd look at woul be the pioneer. What are you using at the moment? Component cables will give you the best picture from your Wii.

Its useless without pictures. I want a comedy image!

This I would have no problem with, its considerate and you'll get where your going faster - everyone wins. I just can't stand the ones that think that being on a bike permits you to flout the rules of the road.

I'm not questioning the fact that some people do need extra money, I disagree with the way its given out. It shouldn't go to the kids because, as others have said, its too open to abuse. If families need it to feed their kids then it should be going to the family to provide this, not the kid to fritter away as they please.

I'd put something along the lines of enjoying developing younger people skills and the satisfaction of passing on your knowledge to your younger peers.

Maybe things have changed since I was at college but I really don't see how you could possibly need £30 a week to enable you to go. I understand certain families need more benifits than others and there are genuine reasons for them. This is just one I have never understood. Taking rent+bills out of the equation I doubt I spend £30 on expenses a week even now I'm working and living in central London.

That whole EMA thing pisses me off anyway, if people want to learn then they should, if you need to bribe them then why bother? Theres plenty of jobs you don't need any qualifications for, just let them do that. I wouldn't get pissed off too much with those that just take the money and don't put any effort in. Chances are they'll be on that sort of money when they're 30, with your education you'll be getting a hell of a lot more.

At the moment cyclists are really pissing me off. They go on and on about cars giving them no respect yet when it comes to pedestrians they couldn't give a flying f*ck. I'm very sorry Mr. Cyclist but yes YOU DO HAVE TO STOP AT RED LIGHTS. Argh! It really really aggrivates me, I'm getting hot under the collar just thinking about it. If one even comes close to hitting me again I swear to god they're going to get a smack up side the head.

To be fair I actually think Alonso brought a hell of a lot to the McLaren package. You don't spend 2 years in the best car without picking a few things up to take with you. His ability to set the car up and develop it will really be missed at McLaren next season, imo, they now have two young guys with no experience of this and their performance will suffer as a result. De la Rosa will do a good job up until the season starts and in between races but I fear that race weekend tweaks will see them underperform. Hopefully Renault will improve though, it would be great to have four teams capable of winning races next year.

I've always just done the thing that seems right at the time and what I enjoy. Seems to have served me well so far. When I was younger I prefered playing games to school work so thats what I did. Still managed decent GCSE's and A-Levels. Didn't feel ready for uni straight away so I spent a year messing around doing a few crappy jobs. Chose my uni based on being by the beach rather than the course or quality of uni - turned out to be a great desicion. Had a fantastic time in the sun on the beach and the course turned out to be pretty good too. It just so happened that my course included a year out which is how I ended up in my next job. Somehow landed a job as an Analyst at Panasonic which apart from the long drive was a fantastic role in a company that will always look good on my CV. Bought a good TV on staff discount and meant I could afford the 360 when that came out. After a year I was back at uni and decided to finally make a website I'd been thinking of for a few years. Taught myself PHP and MySQL as I went and the site turned out pretty good. I probably neglected my degree a little but I still passed that and ended up in the West Midlands Business Awards final for the website. All in all worked out very well. After uni I worked on the website in the summer while applying for jobs. I'd applied for a job at a games company ages before and it just so happened they had a little look at the website and decided to call me in for an interview having previously turned me down. Went in and had a chat and thats how I ended up living in London as an Analyst at a games company. Currently still doing that as well as sorting a few other web projects. Hmmm, that turned into a bit of a life story but it wasn't meant to. Anyway, what I'm really trying to say is I've never once really knew what to do with my life. I just always tried to better myself and make my desicions based around what currently feels right and is likely to lead to better times in the future. Main point being it doesn't matter if you don't have a clue what you want to do with yourself, so long as you stay true to what YOU want to be doing you can't go too far wrong.

Correct, making McLaren 22 and 23. The new cars do look nice, I look forward to seeing how they compare out on track though. Right now I can't see anyone but Kimi winning the title this year.

If you need another pad, for multiplayer maybe, then I'd say its well worth importing a DS3 rather than getting one of the UK pads. I got mine just before Christmas from yesasia.com, it came to about £32 including delivery so its cheaper too as long as the exchange rates haven't changed. Bear in mind that not all of the games have been patched to support rumble yet so there are occasions when it may as well be a regular pad. I prefer mine, bit more weight to it and rumble is something I definately missed.
