Or me - pre-ordered Halo 2 limited edition from Amazon back in August, and decided to add an item to the order today to save on shipping.
Amazon's system combines orders by deleting the two old ones and creating a new order... putting you at the back of the queue for a pre-order. Expected delivery: January. Of course, the site doesn't actually tell you that this will happen when you combine orders...
So, if you've already got a DS pre-ordered, DON'T TOUCH THE ORDER!
(Needless to say, I cancelled the order and put one in elsewhere, but I don't know if that's going to turn up in a reasonable amount of time. Grr. To be fair, Amazon are sending a gift certificate by way of an apology.)
Why not split the European region into two? That way, the English-speaking parts (like, you know, ENGLAND) could get games first without having to wait for the translators to do their stuff.
Might cut down on people here downloading the US releases just to be able to play the damn game...
Round here (in the UK) cinemas tend to advertise two times - the time when everything kicks off, and the time when the main feature starts.
Drawback is that you may end up with a really crappy seat, of course.
Given that I live a fair way from a cinema, and that I prefer to watch a film when I want, rather than fit in with someone else's timetable, I tend to go for the DVD at home option anyway.
I hope someone got shot for that first colour scheme. It was like someone had opened up the back of my monitor and vomitted profusely into the electrode guns, and then unrinated on my retina.
I might get one, if their firmware's better than Nokia's. I've just found out that the last update to my 7650 fixed some bugs I was having, but broke voicemail notification, so people have been leaving me messages for months and I've not even known the things were there. If I don't get a free update, despite the phone being out of warranty, Nokia can go piss up a rope in the future. (Hey, it was in warranty when they broke this advertised feature with a shoddy, improperly-tested update - damn right they should pay out to fix it!)
Every single time. I don't think I've ever used the word "adds" in an SMS. But quite a lot of them are beer-related. So why can't the damn phone learn?

A Dog's Life has some funny bits in, while we're on PS2 games.

Not in the UK - we get two whole days of Firefoxy goodness before MS deign to give us our copies of Halo 2 on the 11th :(
Yeah, a grinning bullet eight times the height of a man should be pretty easy to spot.
Mind you, Doom 3 doesn't seem to like it when that's installed, either, so your main point still holds...

What if he's posting to Slashdot while getting a blowjob from a supermodel whore?
Not sure what music they'd preload on that, mind...
Multiplayer Monkey Bowling. Mmm yeah.
After all, the market's already shown it's willing to pay ten bucks, right?
(Yes, that's real coffee they put in it.)
Whether you should need to read the manual for something as simple as a games console is another matter, of course. Bad design, Sony...
This works for me, although I can't say I've tried it on a Dell laptop as I don't have one :)

That's a little harsh. Spammers are way below that...
Mmm... krispy cheeze stix...
It's MS Frontpage that does it (as if you needed to ask...)
The scatter-bombers will still carry on bombarding you with crap. You'll just get extra ads, but these will be carefully targeted.
So, just like Slashdot's IT section, then.
That's OK; we don't appreciate you sending HTML email either...
(where 'we' == 'me, and probably quite a lot of other people', before anybody asks)
That better not be "administrators" as in "sysadmins", of course, unless you didn't actually want any of those files :)

No problem. Unless you've got a GameCube, of course.
