The Wii rage puts a red haze over my eyez
Seriously the dvds are region 2 so you will need a multi-region dvd player but its pretty easy to order items off amazon from anywhere.
Holy shit. I feel really bad for him/her now. Even worse than being exposed as a man, she's now an object of worldwide ridicule. Hermaphrodite?! Holy hell.
I agree with you guys on EDGE mag, they have two review scores they like to dish out, its either an 8 or a 5 with barely anything in between. It's either good but not good enough or its really terrible so we can make snarky comments.
Updating now.

Analysis from NPD's Anita Frazier...
The industry realized its sixth consecutive month-over-month decline, and while improved over the last several months, it's still a notable decline. The back four months of the year would have to be up 14% in aggregate for 2009 to come in flat in comparison to 2008 sales.
The price cuts implemented on the PS3 and 360 hardware already made an impact on unit sales, despite having been executed fairly late in the month. It will be interesting to see the full impact of the new price points on September sales.
All hardware systems with the exception of the PS2 realized an increase in unit sales over July. The PS3 captured the greatest increase month-over-month with unit sales boosted by 72% over July levels.
There is a lot of speculation about Wii and whether Nintendo will take a price cut as sales comps to last year show declines. I do think it's interesting to note that the Wii is still selling at levels comparable to what the PS2 was doing at about this point in its lifecycle.
As many predicted, Madden captured the top spot for the month, selling nearly 1.9 million units across its five SKU's.
With the introduction of Beatles: Rock Band and Guitar Hero 5 in September, a lot of folks have inquired about the performance of these titles and the music/dance genre. While sales of this genre are down 46% year-to-date, unit sales are down much less because lower prices are playing into the dollar sales decline. It's still the third best-selling genre for the year after General Action and Multiple/Other Sports (where Wii Fit resides).
The PS3 was the only platform to realize a year-over-year increase in total software sales and this is reflected in the top 10 list for the month which includes two PS3 games.
Accessories was the only category to experience an increase for the month of August over last year's sales. The uptick in hardware sales helps to spur sales of additional controllers and other peripherals which help consumers enjoy their new system(s).
Dunno.
Updates done.
The PlayStation 3 has flown to the top of the Japanese hardware chart this week following the launch of the new slim model at a lower price, outselling the second most popular console - the DS - by more than double.
Sales leaped to 151,783 in just five days - up massively on the previous week when, in anticipation of the new hardware the console managed just 1040 sales.
For most of Sony's rivals however, sales were down on the previous week. The DS was the only platform that saw a slight increase, selling 68,728 units this week - up two per cent on the week prior.
PlayStation Portable sales dropped from 26,081 to 22,184 - making it the third most popular console - and Nintendo Wii sales dropped from 25,038 to 21,557.
The Xbox 360 saw just a slight drop, of six per cent, to 6827. The Elite price cut, which would be expected to elevate results, went into effect in Japan on September 5.
Sales of the PlayStation 2, which have recently topped those of the PlayStation 3 in Japan, were well below those of its successor, with 3001 sales, down just slightly in the previous week.
The full Media Create Japanese hardware chart for the week September 1-7 is as follows:

No, this is:
It was a joke story I posted a while back.
I think the media should be focusing more on paedophilia rather than racism.
Closing Comments
The Mario & Luigi series has already established itself as a fantastic RPG franchise, and the third game does not disappoint. I have no problem classifying it as the best of the bunch, thanks to an excellent and appropriately surreal script, epic oversized battles, and the fact that Bowser is a playable character and gets most of the gameplay time. Let's hope that this is a jumping-off point for Bowser – this guy really needed a top-billing production!
OMG is just horrible, horrible!
