i'm loving Skyward Sword so far, though it does seem like it might be quite short....

with my job, piano lessons and Open Uni course i only get an hour or two on it a week. But it seems as though there isn't that much to explore at the moment. I'm hoping this will change

(learnt how to play the song of storms on the piano last night )

I'm 50 hours in and still not finished it.  I have done lots of exploring trying to find every little secret though.

I got to level 30 then started again, now at level 32. I've only really done missions in Whiterun, Windhelm and Riften(and nearby towns)...not touched the rest!

What's this thread doing on page 2?!

Anyway I noticed all my xbox live points had disappeared the other day (I should have about 1600).  So I gave xbox support a ring and it turns out someone has transferred them all to a different account and spent them on some Fifa game that I don't even own .  I've got the fraud squad on my case!

I think most of us are either Skyrimming or sleeping until SSX comes out.

It seems I'm not the only person who has had their account hacked and had all their points spent on Fifa...

The consensus seems to be that the problem lies with EA, who have either been hacked or someone there is handing out details to criminals.

I created an EA account so I could get the Mass Effect 2 DLC, something I was very reluctant to do.  Seems I should have followed my initial instinct.  EA's terms and conditions include this little gem...

So anyone getting a Vita then? Seen a few deals pop up on HUKD but not tempted quite yet.

Whats the advantage of getting the 3G version? What are you going to be able to do with it?

Also I see the memory cards are quite pricey, would you recommend 4/8GB or even more? Is it used for DLC and game saves or is there onboard memory?

I'm thinking of getting the phone version they unveiled at CES yesterday. The one with the new Xperia with watch!

I'm getting one, probably not launch day but within a week. Depends on how the offers go and stuff, still think it'll end up a bit cheaper then the Amazon offer at the moment. Got a lot of travellining lined up in March though so not got long to be picky.

3G seems a complete waste to me, price plan is expensive without much data and the browser will be lesser to most phones. Maybe it'll have a few cool features for the games, but you're not going to be playing COD over a 3G connection or anything so it is really just for web browsing.

I think 8GB minimum as you'll need them for Saves, DLCs and Downloadable Games. Most games will come out simulataneously at retail and PSN, but some of them get pretty big - Uncharted is 3.5GB installed. I'll get 16GB too as I'll ant a bit of music on mine, and theres gonna be some awesome downloadable games.

Really think it could be the best launch line up for games of any console ever - Uncharted, Wipeout, Rayman, Stardust, Lumines, Motorstorm, MvC3, Blazblue etc... pretty good, albeit a lot of console ports. Still, more worth while games then the 3DS's first 8 months so can't complain.

[Jaybles]

I am gonna get involved.  Will be in the states in March so may get one there.

MW3 spawns are horribly, horribly broken. This is a game from my fileshare, a gmae I played yeasterday. Its FFA (every man for himeself) and two enemies not only spawned right next to each other - which is impossible for the man at the front of the spawn to survive, but also in plain sight of me, which (if i was a half decent player) means certain death for both, in this case I only managed to pop one of them.

People are complaining all over the MW3 forums at the moment, especially with reagrds lag compensation. It can get 'laggy' at times but I don't seem to have a problem, but then again I'm not the best player so I probably wouldn't notice it!!

The spawns are particualry bad in FFA, just makes the game too hectic to play. I played Hardhat and died within 3 secs of spawning about 5-6 times.....

Im finding the lag compensation to be a bit fetter now, the worst was when you used to make it round a corner, and still get hit by bullets, i havent had that for a few days now. as someone who pretty much exclusively plays ffa, the spawns are a real pita.
