Piers I'm relying on you to tell me when a game worth buying comes out on the Wii, as I don't really keep up with such things... I actually need to finish Metroid Prime and then to Metroid Prime 2 for the Gamecube which has been sat unplayed for ages whilst I've been doing other stuff, then I can play the new Metroid for Wii. I also need to get my Wii online, as you can get the old school Super Metroid and Mario 3!

Dunno if this has been discussed much of late (did a search but nowt came up), but does anyone have any clue when the Wii shortage might be coming to an end? I should have bought one back in October when I had the chance, but my flatmate got a PS3 about the same time so I decided to hold off until just after Xmas. Big mistake!

The only reason I haven't picked up a Wii yet is because I have neither the space or time but I have been tempted several times and always check out stock levels when I'm around those kinds of shops


Pretty sure the main HMV on Oxford St had some last week


As for the PS3 - I've had 1 and 2 and was looking forward to 3 - but NOTHING has come out for it yet. At all....

okay - cheers - I keep checking Play, Amazon, etc., regularly, but I guess I'll have to pound the old pavement.


The PS3 is alright actually - there are a few decent titles - and for me it beats the 360, though the Microsoft machine has been out for longer and has a bigger back catalogue. I think you can do more with a PS3. Mind, a Wii is what I's after the noo.

Well seeing as Santa's little helper reads the forum I've now got an xbox 360. Quite impressed with it. Took me a while to get use to the controller (I'm a PC gamer), but definitely getting the hang of it.


The capabilities of both platforms from a user stand point seem pretty similar. Once I get the latest update on the xbox it should be quite a decent media center. They'll now play DivX.

      RIP SLP

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      Ahh, that's too bad. The SLP was always on sale in Sainsbury's and always available in libraries. They did some really detailed local crime reporting and local government reporting that other outlets wouldn't focus on.

      GALA 2025

      By hellose5 · Posted

      Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.

      GALA 2025

      By fishboy · Posted

      My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...

      Tate Modern eateries suggestions

      By PeckhamNicola · Posted

      Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
