    I'm going to have to let everyone down by not turning up early for the launch in my mario costume. The show for the 1 act play I'm producing is on this Thursday night. Oh how I suffer for my art :(

    Depends on the size of the duck.

    This early release -- has anyone checked if anyone can just walk in, and buy the game?
    How much? (I'd find out but I'm too busy atm)

    Was in there earlier today (playing Call of Duty 4 OMFGBUY) and the little sign they had said that they'll be selling it early between 6pm and 9pm. Free-for-all perhaps.

    That's a bit of a crap deal in fairness... think I'll just pick it up from Smyths for €45ish.
    Then again, I haven't actually touched Warioware since I completed it on release day:p

    Just read the Gamecentral Review: along with Half Life 2, Total War (I think) and the Orange Box, one of only four 10/10s I can remember them ever giving, with them claiming it could easily be a candidate for best game of all time.

    Hopefully Smyths Bray will go their usual way and have copies on the shelf by tomorrow evening! Don't fancy the trip into town just to pick it up, and will probably cost a lot in Game anyway.

    it is in Smyths. Plus I'm sure it'll be the usual 10% off with a loyalty card.

    According to an ad in the paper this morning Xtravision are selling it for 44.99, but when I went down they claimed it wasn't out until next week. Riiiiggghhttt. So I went up to Smyths and got it for the same price with loyalty card.

    Played an hour there and boy is it fun. Big grin on my face throughout :)

    Absolutely loving it, 3 hours of solid play and about 16 stars.
