I believe there *is* an incredibly good port of Halo for the DS that has never been released. I'm sure I read about it somewhere online so it *must* be true...

PS2 outsells its new shiny big brother again.

Aye, that's the one I read. Are you saying the whole story's a myth or just reiterating that the screen is a mock-up?

Supposed to come out on the Gizmondo I think

How is NES emulation on the DS? Worth a look?

Bloody excelent.
NesDS is wonderfull.

Blame Game.

Pre-buyout they (in theory) sold Wii's without bundels.

Amazon.com are selling it for $30 which is, what, about Â£15?

If it was released for about Â£20 here I would have bought it today. I got Kororinpa a while back for Â£24.99 at Gamestation and really enjoyed it... but the game doesn't last that long. Still, got the girlfriend gaming.

I wouldn't mind paying normal price for this since it is a lot bigger than Kororinpa, I think 150 levels or so. Still it is curious why there is a price difference between here and there.

Because us Brits are stupid enough to pay over the odds.

Don't you just love living in rip-off Britain.
