"GAMECUBE!!!"

Today, after my Business exam, I went to town and bought the following:

Nintendo Gamecube
Smash Bros Melee
Luigi's Mansion
Official Memory Card
Super Monkey Ball
Star Wars: Rogue Leader
Magnum (Ice cream, not gun)

I've tried to get used to the controls in Luigi's Mansion, but still no luck. Methinks I can't use it effectively, ever. Just as a point of interest, how many ghosts di you all zap up the FIRST time in the training room?

I also bought the following PS2 related stuff, but you shouldn't really care about that:

Deus Ex (PS2)
MOH: Frontline
Escape from Monkey Island (PS2)
Final Fantasy X
Offical Playstation 2 Magazine (2 days before release)

Haven't even played Deus Ex, Escape from Monkey Island (£14!), Final Fantasy X and MOH yet. Oh well.

But has your mate ever watched a on DVD a good proper DVD player? Because I know people who think their PS2 is a good quality DVD player as well, but I've seen DVDs on mine and one other person's PS2 and both were crap. The difference between PS2 and good stand alone DVD players is incredible.

My brother's got the official remote and updrade disc, but for some reason has never used it (though he doesn't have any DVDs himself)

Wondrs if you got a duffer there my mates PS2 is fine for dvds and he told me that when he got the offical remote and upgrade it made it a whole lot better.

Is that some sort of sick joke?! :-D

The PS2 DVD player sucks beyond belief. The waulity of the picture is truly dismal. I'll never watch a DVD on my PS2 ever again (except when I go round my mates and take my PS2 since he doesn't have a DVD player). When I have the opportunity to watch a DVD on my PS2 or nice Toshiba independant DVD player which cost me more than the PS2 did, I'd take the Toshiba. :-D

It's 18 hours I think. Unless my matsh is wrong. 24 x 45 minutes comes to 18 hours.

Anyway, I've watched every episode except for last week's. I was watching the Score having rented it out so I taped 24. However, then my dad decided to tape over it with the Japan/Russia match. Okay so I wanted to see that match but I wanted to see 24 more.

It's not repeated on Saturday either! Which means I have to watch the next 10 or so episodes and try and catch up. I am mightily pithed off at my dad though!!
