NEXT GEN CONSOLES

Do reviews sell games?

No, they bloody don't.

It's all about telling people what to buy. Marketing marketing marketing. Crap ain't it?

Edge's review of Mario Kart as a 6 - I can see where they are coming from but it's a bit harsh. They've reviewed so many worse games as 7's and 8's. Halo was never worth the 10 they gave it either.

I've unlocked loads of stuff in Mario Kart now. I didn't know you get the likes of Dry Bowser and Birdo and other cars and bikes for doing Time Trials and unlocking staff ghosts. At last the pure racing part of the game now carries a reward or two.

BBC have made the iPlayer avaliable on the wii, thats good news, can watch Doctor who there anytime now

[Ming The Mercyless]

It means it's watching you

[Jaybles]

How do I get this?

[Ming The Mercyless]

Im guessing you have to either update the wii by going into settings or download the channel from the channel shop thingy.

Again someone can correct me lol

[Lithium05]

Through my wireless router?

Sorry to be thick.

I've noticed if I switch it on then back into standby it usually cures it though.

[Lithium05]

Arg too slow. You can proably have a look on wikipedia for an answer to these problems. Or alternatively go into the wii settings and turn off the blue light

[Ming The Mercyless]

It means that you have "Wii connect 24" turned on which means the console will stay connected to the internet when in stand-by mode and search for updates. When an update is available the blue light will flash until you install/achknowledge said update

I just want someone from sony to come out and say that there either will or won't be an 80gig ps3 released in europe

[Greeny_Musicchild]

Im still holding out for a couple of months,

Im thinking there will be some kind of metal gear solid bundle or something.

Would love for another price drop around july, then im on board.

[brighteyes]

I have the same ... say goodbye to everyone!

[Greeny_Musicchild]

Haha it's true. My flatmate just got an Xbox 360, and COD4 is so much fun I just had to get it. I am a Playstation person though, so went for that instead. Gran Turismo looks incredible.

Just want it to arrive now so I can become a recluse

[brighteyes]

i got one last friday and i havent done anything else in the daytime for about a week....it's ridiculous, but it's so damn addictive

Well i'm supposed to be searching for a job, I assume the PS3 is going to be quite helpful for that.

[Purple Monkey]

You've all forgotten how to percieve correctly. Take a deep breath and try again.

Try this:

The only thing about the 40gb one that gets me is that you cant play PS2 game on them!
