Well, looks like Virgin fucked up the pre-orders of SMG

My order is still "In Progress"...

They managed to get Super Paper Mario here on launch day... but the second biggest game launch this decade apparently eluded them.

Flabio wrote:I dunno, looking at this weeks Japanese sales figures there still seems to be plenty of under the telly console love. Dynasty Warriors 6 has notched up nearly 300,000 in it's first week (20,000 of those sales on the 360, the rest on PS3).

The problem seems to be that Japanese gamers do love nintendo games, they just want them on their DS.

There's no 'Wii60' phenomena there, and the chances that someone will own a PS3 and a Wii are minimal. It looks like most Japanese hardcore gamers at the moment have a DS and PS3...

That's odd - VGCharts is showing 180,000 copies of dynasty warriors sold on PS3 and a little under 30,000 on the 360. The next best selling PS3 game is Ratchet & Clank with a rather arse 11,814 copies in it's first week.
The PS3 doesn't show up again until chart position no. 25, with Tom Clancy's advanced warfarter selling 8000 copies. The only 360 title in the entire top 50 besides Dynasty Warriors is Ace Combat Six at no 19, and everything else is the usual suspects (Wii Sports, Wii Play, Mario Party), a scattering of PS2 titles, the odd PSP game and an absolute truck load of DS games. In fact, going by VGChartz numbers, out of the entire top 50 the DS made up more than half of the chart positions and the PSP was one game shy of having as many titles in the top 50 as the 360 and PS3 combined.

SMG on my doormat when I got in, thanks to Virgin

Just going to have a poo and then fire it up. I have four days off work, the wife is away, my hard drive is full of movies and aside from a bag of weed for company I've got a fridge full of beer, curry and chilli.

I hate my life.

That sounds idyllic!
Last time I tried a bit of gaming nirvana like that, it all backfired as a massive hole appeared in the living room ceiling and started belching water.
Hopefully you'll have better luck.

Not my house

So, do I arrive home to my copy of SMG? No, I arrive home to a bunch of mail for a flat thats not even in the same block as mine.

This tends to only happen when there's no mail for me though, so fingers crossed it's not sitting on the doormat of one of the unoccupied flats in the building.

You are all gits!

We still haven't got an email from Amazon saying ours has been dispatched.

It was pre-ordered literally months ago too. Buggers!

Hopefully we will get the game in the morning even though the email hasnt come through... Or I'm not going to be a happy bunny.

Mine arrived from Game this morning; only had about 20 mins on it so far, but it's all looking and playing a bit flipping special already.
