Thanks Cookie, Ed, snkupo!, I'm very proud of my collection. No thanks to you though Ton. I like that rug. It's hard to get it free from dog hair but otherwise it's great.

Yes Elmdor indeed.

[Elmdor Rizer]

Purple doghair? Geez, crusher, how dumb do you think we are?

So, on a totally unrelated note; Super Power/Play, how good is it today? I used to love it when I was littler, but it was more fun when it focused on SNES games.

[Cyberxion]

Seriously, if there's something I've learnt in all these years here is that crusher is the only reliable source for anything related with Kojima and his games
I'll believe the rumors once crusher confirms them

I'm probably alone in saying this, but Crusher's collection, while impressive, means just about jack when it comes to stuff like this. Unless he has sources that we don't.

Then again, knowing him and his love for this highly overrated series, it's entirely possible that he's bugged Kojima's office or something. I wouldn't put it past him.

Cyber, I guess you are talking about a different rumor? If not, and we are still talking about the one Elmdor posted about, here's the post from Xbox forums where the rumor originates from:

I'm talking about the source that I posted. What else would I be talking about?

Anyway, I'd count on it happening, whether currently confirmed or not. If it makes business sense to do it, it will be done. Also, I'm a stubborn bastard, so yeah, don't try and change my mind about this.

Yeah, you are right, you are alone in this
But of course he has sources that we don't

I won't try to change your mind, Cyber. I have nothing to gain from that and it sounds like too much of a hassle.

Elmdor, Super Play is so-so nowdays. Almost everyone working on that magazine left two years ago something... and they are now working on LEVEL instead. So there are mostly new people taking care of the magazine now. The content in Super Play is great however but they are often unfair reviewers, in my opinion.

The 20th anniversary of Metal Gear in Japan deserves some celebration, re-releases 4 us, isn't it great?

[crusher]

Old news, to be quite honest. I read about it three days ago.

But yes good stuff. I want the Metal Gear Solid Collection box.

Doesn't sound like I should take it up then. Geez, their Art of Fighting review was hilarious..

No one commented on my purple hair comment? Damn you all.

Of course it's too much of a hassle! It just can't be done! You'd have an easier time getting blood from a stone.

Really though, it just sorta seems like a no-brainer. The PS3 isn't doing all that hot, and though it's not exactly selling terribly, with production costs up as high as they are, the PS3 will have to move a whole lot more units to make the game profitable, allowing Konami to recoup the costs for MGS4, something that seems doubtful if current trends are any indication.

That said, the 360 isn't exactly selling like hotcakes in Japan, so Konami would have to bank on the game selling tons of units on the system in the US, so whether or not this will happen is sort of up in the air I guess.

Eh, we'll see.

I've got a new heroine, the EU Commissioner Meglena Kuneva

Commissioner Kuneva also had a discussion with international students of European Studies at The Hague University. During her visit Commissioner Kuneva spoke with the Dutch Radio Consumer Programme "KASSA". Following concerns raised by the KASSA programme in relation to the use of the Microsoft X-Box by Dutch consumers, Commissioner Kuneva confirmed that she had written to Microsoft to ask for more information concerning: (1) details of the actions Microsoft has taken in The Netherlands to resolve the problems relating to the use of the X-Box there; (2) details of whether the same problem has occurred on other markets.

More, here.

[crusher]

Yes we'll see Cyber. Let us leave it at that.

Good stuff Cookie. I hope Microsoft actually responds.

[Borman]

They ported MGS2 to Xbox, so not selling in Japan is never an issue hah.

Damn, she's hot.

No, really, she is.

And yeah, she's my heroine as well, that's the only thing keeping me back from getting the 360, a friend bought it this monday and by friday it had the 3 lights of doom and FIFA07 totally scratched. >____>

[Sprung]

Wow. I can't believe so many people are having problems with the 360. I bought my Pro 360 used, and it's still working fine almost a year later. The only time it ever gives any type of problem is when my son plays it for like 6 hours straight. It freezes up once, and a reboot fixes it. I have the Intercooler on the back, so that might be the difference...

[Borman]

Intercooler can also cause problems though so
