Oh baby!

I preordered from game when dinosaurs roamed the earth...roundabout September

Just checked and my status is DESPATCHED...

Technically I could be having a long Wii session either tomorrow or Thursday

Sweet as a macadamia nut! yee haa

Nice one GAME UK

I've not been so excited about a console since i got a japanese Super Famicom with Mario World and R-type from my local importer, oh yes i got Hole In one Golf with it too...Who remembers that game!? I loved the Musak.

Just like being a kid again at crimbo! Ace

If I get it before Friday I will get some exclusive pics up for you guys, of the UK package. Hope I get a Wii sports box with the UK version.

Hahaha I heard Game always ship their stuff a few days early, hope you get it soon. I had mine pre-ordered at Play.com, but they changed their prices of games without notice and applied those changes to my pre-ordered games without notice, they should really honour the pre-order price.

So i cancelled and went with Amazon.co.uk, which i have confirmed for Friday 8th Delivery, the games are the same price i had previously ordered from play.com and i ended up getting the spare remotes, nunchucks and 2x classic remotes from Play-Asia.com which even with UPS shipping, worked out cheaper than getting them from no-discount Play.com!

I used to rely on Play.com for years, they have gotten a bit to big for themselves now and customer service and care is out the window, so i get my dvds from cd-wow.com and game stuff from Game, Play-Asia or Amazon!

Let us see pics if you get it tomorrow!

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Damn Frontier is offering 5Gbps now lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I honestly can't recommend any of the big 3 this years I'd say buy a rog ally z1 if we're being honest
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Honestly after the PS3 and 360 I just went full PC
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    nintendo needs to up their game soon
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah even bt support for Xbox one controllers are just as easy as pairing
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    considering the steamdeck can emulate the switch (yikes) theres almost 0 reason to buy the switch apart from playing online and using cartridges
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Xinput and 360 dongles were a driver nightmare
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I remember having to manually put in drivers and what not
