So NGC tells me Timesplitters 2 comes out on the 24th and SR tell me the 18th. Okay, my mistake, SR obviously mean the PS2 and X-Box versions and NGC can't help it if the company delays a game but I am getting fed up of having to wait 2 weeks more for a game when identical games are released before on differant formats. This happened with Turok, and I got Resi Evil instead so they lost my custom. But I will have to wait for TS2 as it is significantly better. Or at least thats what I am told.
Patience child. But seriously, who else is fed up of being 'screwed around' so to speak?

Probably isn't Nintendo's fault but its still moderatly annoying.

Thats exactly what happened with me, after I saw some reviews I was glad I had not wasted a good £40.

It may well be a blessing is disguise. I have a horde of homework as well as my driving theory test on Monday to contend with.

Actually they often do, and with good cause, the sooner they can get pigs to grow human livers for transplant the better I say. I can not imagine whats it is like to be waiting on the line like this but at least it puts things into perspective.

I didnt think it was nintendos fault for the date being late, isnt there one day when 5 BIG AAA games come out in one day, if they delay some games so they are spread out why not just do it on that day too?
Also turok was late..giving most sane people a chance to realise that it wasnt that good and not by it on the GC.
I can live with out a game for 2 weeks, i have other things to do, play older games (and complete them), school, drinking, wrok, going out, and some other sad things that life involves.
You dont here these people waiting for a liver only for the NHS to say "sorry its been delayed for 2 weeks" moaning do ya?

Why? If you mean performance wise the X-box would probably be in truth slightly better and the PS2 (like with Turok) will have an ever so slightly worse framerate. This has nothing to do with game content. If you can give me proof or links that show that the GC version will have added weapons, maps or bonuses then I will be understanding. But this is either the game company (free radical or something) or Nintendo screwing around. While I liked the N64 this is the kind of behaviour I thought the GC had left behind.
Ramble over.

I am getting Starfox, but Mario Sunshine is really just like an addon to Mario 64. Godzilla: Destroy all Monsters Melee. That is going to be class.
With Mothra.

I'm sick of being screwed around by companies trying to manipulate more profits out of me. That might be part of why i'm not so bothered about games any more.
Recently, i was buying all the big releases i drooled over, now, while my financial situation is about the same, i've not got mario, i'm not planning to get starfox, and the only things i definitely plan to buy are godzilla and tonty hawk's 4. (Burnout 2 used to be, so they're still finding ways to get to me. Bah.)
Or that could be because not making so much time to play.
Chicken and egg, i think.

I strongly concur.
This is classic Nintendo, at least I still have Resi to play. Though I pretty much got every secret already.
