Saw it last week in the States, thought it was really well made.

I love elephants, they are truly wonderful creatures.
I wasn't impressed with Singapore as well soubriquet. Perhaps over recent years they have got worse.... I'm sure they used to have a really good reputation,

They really might be in trouble this time. By the time it gets released, the 360 will have 2nd gen games out - you probably wont be able to tell the difference at all.

Check this out for a laugh - the "highlights" of the Sony E3 presentation

I have to go in all week - but I get 3 extra days off when I want after that.

It seems to be a rule to give consoles naff names. Wii is pretty bad even by the usual standards. People will probably get used to it quick enough tho

Good service that - and cheap too. cheaper than buying here.

I have no problems with contacts. I think you'll just have to try and see for yourself charlotte as it is different for everyone.

I see salarymen on the train with their DSs... quite a few of them. So I wouldn't say its just for kids. One of the most popular games is some IQ training thing.

Not seen the luge but it sounds interesting.
-----
We only ask because we have been observing that the luge has been rather incident-strewn this year. Six female lugers crashed and couldn't finish; two exited in ambulances. In the double luge (in which two people, usually men, lie on top of each other and launch themselves on to the track feet first, attaining more than 130kph), Roman Yazvinskyy, from Ukraine, suffered head injuries that necessitated airlifting him to Pinerola. There have been complaints that the design of the track itself is to blame. After she broke her wrist in training, Anne Abernethy, 52, from the US Virgin islands (otherwise known as Grandma Luge) said:"I love this track but something has to be done, otherwise someone is going to get seriously hurt." To which we are tempted to reply "Duh", but politely refrain.
The thing is, the luge is only one of the smorgasbord of opportunities to court death that is the winter Olympics. Which, we wonder, would get you closest?
On the phone from Sestriere, Dr Richard Budgett, chief medical officer for Team GB, pours cold water on - or would that be applies an ice compress to? - these overheated suppositions. Apparently it's near-impossible to calculate relative risks because the denominators - how many people compete, how often they go down runs - are so difficult to track, but statistically the most injurious of the sports "has to be skiing, really. So many more people do that." Life-threatening traumas, however, are rare. In the bobsleigh and skeleton, his direct responsibilities, what he sees most of is "overuse injuries - from bumping around on the bobsleigh and from training hard. And even if they crash they normally get away with it." As for the luge, "It's pretty unusual for things to be as bad as they've been in the last couple of days."
He does note there are ongoing arguments about how safe to make things, about whether by neutering all dangers you neuter the sports altogether. "Certainly one of the responsibilities of the doctors involved is just to make it as safe as we possibly can." Then he adds, dryly, "though we are limited by the fact that they're hurtling down a tube of ice."

You'd have to be mad to blow it all.
Even if you kept a couple of mill to have fun with, it still leaves you with a ton to live off and get interest for the rest of your life.
Tell us if you win nicole.

'Lets playing the games' as one once told me. I think they are improving though.

Nice one.
Yes not heard what the rumors are this time for this one.

I've always known that.

Not doing as well as the first one, apparently:
Microsoft's Japanese Xbox division may have thrown a couple of loud parties to coincide with the Japanese launch of the Xbox 360 (see our full coverage here), but outside of the main Shibuya launch event, the system was greeted with a quiet reception. Enterbrain, the publisher of the Famitsu magazines and also an independent retail tracker of game products, reports that MS managed to sell through 62,135 hardware units over the console's first two days of release following the 12/10 launch. Enterbrain estimates hardware shipping totals at 159,000 units.
In terms of software, the biggest selling of the Xbox 360 launch titles was Ridge Racer 6, which pushed 29,891 units. Perfect Dark Zero came in at second, with 14,897 units sold, followed by Need For Speed, which took third with 6,842 units. Enterbrain hasn't made public sales for the other launch titles, but lists an overall 0.91 software to hardware tie-in ratio, which means that for every one Xbox 360 unit sold, 0.91 pieces of software were bought. Extrapolating from the Enterbrain numbers, this suggests software sales totaling around 62,000 units.
The source of this data is a group of 3,500 retailers throughout Japan that Enterbrain uses to compile the top 30 sales chart published every week in Famitsu, Japan's largest game magazine. Enterbrain takes the totals obtained from these sources and uses statistical techniques to come to an estimate for total sales. The numbers out of Enterbrain tend to differ from the numbers out of another tracker, Media Create, sometimes being higher and sometimes lower. For Xbox 360 hardware sales, Media Create lists a total of 41,817 hardware units.
Whatever the numbers, one thing is clear: the Xbox 360 is selling worse than the original Xbox did back when it hit Japan in February of 2002. According to Enterbrain's figures, Xbox managed sales of 123,929 units and a software-hardware tie ratio of 1.45 pieces of software for every system over its first three days.

A simple "-" would have made all the difference.

Well yes I have a Canon - a pretty cheap one at that.
-
Do you buy the "official" inks for your printers, or get better deals? Any pointers? Just seems such a rip off.
-
So, how many this year and how you making them?
I'm just using a photo I have from last winter, printed it out looks good. Only 20 so easy to make.

Good game good game.
Got PSP? Get GTA Liberty City Stories as well!

I think she did not have permission to reveal such information. I can imagine the conversation.

Microsoft is taking its fight to rule the video games arena to Sony's and Nintendo's home ground, with the launch of its Xbox 360 in Japan on Saturday.
The software giant is hoping that its next generation games console will make up for the poor performance of its original Xbox in Japan.
The Xbox is estimated to make up just 5% of the Japanese games market, compared to 80% for the PlayStation.

Er.... DON'T THINK SO. More like 0.5%.

Wow that is well made. Freeky.
It really will be interesting to see how the PS3 fares in the next generation. As has been said they do seem to be putting their foot in it on so many fronts. It will be a real test of the brand.
