Well, no doubt MS believed they got a bargain, but it is emerging that Nintendo offloaded them because of the failing quality of their work.

They spent 3 years developing Star Fox, and by all accounts, it's a linear piece of toss.

What was it? 5 quality games in 2 years?

HAAHHAAAHAAHA!

Seriously though, discuss...

Yeah.

What do they think I'm gonna do?

Pay £35 here, or £24 to import one from Canada with free P&P?

They're in the shops i've seen 'em.

Though Nintendo can shove them up their pipes if they think people are gonna pay £35 for a controller with no wire.

You can import them for less money thn you have to pay in the shops, stupid bloody European prices.

Even if you haven't found any in the shops, it's still been released...

I've already got mine :)

And I'm getting a second one free thanks to Nintendo of Europe :D

Easily, got five of them ready and waiting in the back office at work where stuff is stored. We've had display boxes out since the 22nd and sold one.

I challenge you to find one. Most retailers don't have any Wavebird stock at all yet.

Well this has certainly gained some replies since yesterday ::rubs eyes::
You lot need to shut up or slow things down a bit so I can get through all the posts quicker - my poor new games are feeling neglected and I have a Beagle to upgrade. :-)

Nooooooooo you misunderstood me. Halo is a pure FPS I meant, just like Timesplitters, MoH etc etc. Metroid is a FPS/Platform/Adventure hybrid, more interesting I think.

That depends on wether you like online play..

Besides, Metroid isn't a multiplayer game, it isn't suited to it.
