I could do that. But then I'd have to memorise 0163. The only alt+code I can remember is Alt+789 = §. And that's only because it's the top three numbers on the number pad.

It now may be £350 but me anf my mates reckon they'll crank up the price.
Still not going to get it until it's around 200-300.

Damn right. Same here.
got the old PS2 when it came out for 300

It was £300?! I got mine brand new for £200 about a week after it came out.

Ah, of course you're right.

After all it is much more efficient to buy a new keyboard rather than typing in a series of 4 keys for the rare occasions in which you'll actually have to use the pound symbol.

It might have been £200 (See! I remembered it! I'm cool!) but I can't remember, 'twas ages ago.

And it would be more efficient still to NOT buy a new keyboard and just change the Key-Layout from American to English, which I still can't work out how to do, bastard computer.

I love Nintendo. Their games aren't always winners, but Gamecube struck gold equally as often as PS2 did. Xbox never really mattered to me. Halo, yeah yeah. But in reality they only have like, what, 10 games that you can only get on XBox? Gamecube and PS2 HOG their games, and that's what I'm expecting for Wii and PS3. XBox 360 will probably shit out some, well, shitty games, with one or two winners here and there, which not everyone will play anyway because of how much each system costs. That's also gonna suck. With so many people choosing one system over the other, and each system having its own games, what will our console-torn friendships talk about? Some people have the entire friendship based on gaming, but they'll pick a different system.
"So, how's uhh...that game...?"
"Metal Gear Solid 4? It's so sweet, I just (blah blah blah)."
"Oh...great. That sounds awesome, yeah."
"And how about the umm...Wee?"
"It's awesome man, I was playing this one (blah blah blah)."
"Yeah, wow. I should try that sometime. When I can borrow your Wey...ii...e....thing."
"Yeah...someday."

PS: Yes, Wii is a gay name. But when the Gamecube was gonna be "Gamecube Nintendo" I was pretty pissed off too. We'll find nicknames, don't worry. (Let's go play some "cube" dude.)

Jesus, Fitz. you are a mind reader.

I was going to say that, but then I couldn't remember if the Nintendo Dolphin was a prototype name or if it was going to be a seperate system.

What's really lame about it was that the Dolphin logo was, you guessed it, a dolphin. Jumping through the Nintendo sign. Audiences all over the world gasped in confusion.


Oh well, I suppose it's better than drawing someone's Wii going through the Nintendo sign.

I just figured it was because the acronym NGC was alrady taken.(Nevada Gaming Commision). Atleast, thats the only reason I could think of.

Well, good luck to them. Well, not really because I want a Wii. (No toilet jokes, please)

I've decided to buy a Wii now instead of a PS3, it is fully emulated for every NES, SNES. N64, Gamecube games and even for some Sega games. You can also buy controllers for the previous game consoles which have been modded to plug into a Wii. The Wii Nunchaku controller is motion sensitive and is so badass. All this for a mere £150? Sony can fuck right off.

PC > Wii > Everything else

And the first two are at a close tie.
Shop smart, shop S-Mart.

Nunchaku controller? Is that the standard controller's name, or are you talking about some kind of nunchuck awesome death-stab fuck controller? And fuck was just in there for good effect.

And I dunno, I kinda liked "The Dolphin Project" cuz that sounded cool. Just calling it the "Nintendo Dolphin" wouldn't have been as cool, even IF it's my favorite animal. You can teach it tricks, teach it to understand more words than lesser monkeys, and some people go as far as to sex them, which is their call, and the best of luck to them.
