@ Sinc the review basically said the game was great, loads of unlockables and easter eggs, the only negative was that there was so much crammed in it that it basically represents the end of the game in the current format. If that is a negative.

damn, even i wasn't expecting that much
but ye, i heard a few other bad things about it, how it's only really good with cube controllers, that the lag online can be a bit much sometimes and that the adventure mode is kinda weak but tbh none of this stuff really bothers me coz i'd be just as happy simply havin the standard 4 player scuffles. there's no better way to play than when your mates are there in the room so you can just laugh in their face and give em the old 'bludklart finger snap'.
did they mention how mindblowing the soundtrack is? it has 319 tracks!! ign said it's one of the greatest gaming ost's of all time and kotaku said it was worth the $50 alone.

I would buy a GC controller just for this.
Providing i had a Wii, of course.

are Wiis still stupidly overpriced & understocked?
it was shameful the amount of places charging upwards of three hundred quid just before christmas

Nah i think they're alright now.
U getting one?

They are now the same price as the 360 (basic model since the price drop) and widely available at the moment. I can't see them going down in price due to the popularity esp. when Mario Kart and the Wii Fit comes out (guaranteed to entice more casual/previous non-gamers).

eventually, yeah. i never bought a gamecube though so i've got a fair bit of nintendo catching up to do.
strayed to the sony side for far too long

the DS has brought me back from the brink though

I like the DS, just haven't bought many games on it..I currently have Zelda (great although fed up of going through the same dungeon all the time), Mario kart and Galaxy Wars..Thinking of the new Advance Wars..what else am I missing (other than Mario etc)?

Osu!Tatakae!Ouendan (1+2) and Elite Beat Agents.
Same game format just different music and scenarios depending on whether you get the UK or Jap version. One of the best rhythm action games around and easily one of my favourite series on DS.

Yeah, i wouldn't know of HALF these japanese only games series without it.
It's really a nifty piece of kit.

same here man. no other way for me to rock the ds otherwise.
my one's bust for some reason (one of the original ones for the DS Phat that sticks out both ends and kanes the battery twice as fast) so I can't really rock anything at the mo but might hook up a lite when i go tokyo (although i do hear there might be a new ds iteration coming out so i'm a bit hesitant to get one).
