Its been confirmed for 07 holidays.. thats how far back they have delayed it. You can take a guess as to why.

nuts

For the 360, I have been playing Gears of War constantly online and now for some reason it won't let me host any more games...everytime I try it says something about my firewall, but I can't find any firewall settings to change it...can someone help please?

Go into your settings tab in your 360, then go to your network settings and do a test for xbox live and if your nat comes back as open your good if moderate then you may have some configurations to do if you have a router.

What kind of configurations?

Nintendo has issued an interesting press release:

Nintendo of America Requests the Pleasure of Your Company at the Marriage of

Peach
to
Bowser

on the 9th Day of April 2007

The nuptials will take place at the beginning of Super Paper Mario™, which will be available for Nintendo's hot new Wii™ home video game system. Those who wish to attend - or thwart - the ceremony will need to switch between 2-D and 3-D.

Sounds fun. Good to see Nintendo still has a sense of humor!

If you have a router you may need to open up a few ports. Do you have a router?

Awesome, I knew it was coming, but good to see its so soon. 😛

Guess they felt they should give us atleast one Mario game. 😐

Interesting article I found from Gamespot.

It's about Miyamoto and how he just recieved the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Game Developer Choice Awards.

My one comment is why the hell does he get this award now, and not the first year this GDC thing came out. It's Miyamoto for christsakes.

I also found a really funny strip from Penny Arcade.

😂 that's awesome. Very tempted to print that out and bring it to work.

(I've done that with a couple CAD strips 😛)

At first, I thought the £425 price tag on PS3 over here was bad, but compared to some other things I planned on buying over at Currys in this ridiculously overpriced country, its measly ¬_¬

They are asking for a £20 deposit, which leaves it at £405 to pay for later. Not bad, popped in to Croydon today during break to check it out, they have the Wii up on a display unit. Some trailers going. While I was there there were some guys making the same enquiry I was about to make so I just joined the convo. Anyway, wasn't putting in a deposit just yet, just asking questions regarding the release. Guy was calm and collected and answered. One hing I do like is service is great in most of the local game stores, I even know a few people, so I regualarly pop in to check out whats hot and whats not.

I am quite happy too ^^ I convinced a mother to put a deposit on a Wii so that when more are released she could get hold of one, she was about to buy a Gamecube as it was cheaper but knew little or nothing about gaming. So I have done my part, hope the kid is happy with his Wii.

Actually, it's kinda because the man has been the mastermind behind several series of excellent games for over 25 years now. 73 to date, starting with Donkey Kong in 1981.

Smasandian is right, though, it should not have taken this long.
