Anyway, great banner, good luck Tanod old bean, and RAR SONY FEEL MY NERDRAGE!

GameIndustry.biz Says EUROPE IS SECOND LARGEST MARKET BIATCHES!!!! said:
According to research compiled by Nielsen Games, the European Union is the second-largest videogaming territory in the world.

Gaming generated EUR 7.3 billion (USD 11.4 billion) in the European Union during 2007, compared with EUR 7.4 billion (USD 11.5 billion) in Asia and EUR 6.9 billion (USD 10.7 billion) in the United States.

The average age of a gamer in the UK is 33 – the highest out of the territories surveyed - and 42 per cent of UK game players have children.

Across Europe, 81 per cent of parents say that they enjoy playing games with their children.

Of those polled, 72 per cent found gaming "a fun way to spend time" - compared to 68 per cent for television and cinema - and 57 per cent believe that gaming "stimulates the imagination" - compared to 48 per cent for movies and 35 per cent for television.

The research also revealed that 93 per cent of Europeans recognise the PEGI age rating labels.

"This research confirms what the industry has realised for a long time - gaming is now enjoyed by an incredibly diverse audience," said ELSPA managing director Michael Rawlinson.

"And the UK is a particularly mature market – we have the oldest, most passionate gamers across Europe.

"The fact that gamers are growing up and enjoying gaming with their children illustrates the enduring nature of the medium. It’s fair to say that, compared to other forms of entertainment, games are doing well."

The research, entitled Videogamers in Europe – 2008, was compiled by Nielsen Games based upon surveys of 6000 active gamers, aged 16-49, across 15 countries: the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Benelux, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Czech Republic, Poland and Latvia.

It's just that SCEE are a bunch of incompetent fools.

David Reeves can go to HELL.

The Warhawk double pack is a great deal. £5 for two maps and two new vehicles is a bargain. Buybuybuy if you haven't already!
 
AmMortal said:
No, MGS Database...

SCEE sucks


David Reeves can go to HELL.
Actually, I wouldn't go as far to blame him for this. Remember, when submitting a game to PSN, it requires three submissions (one to each region) separately. I'm guessing Konami hasn't submitted to Europe yet.

Database sounds great, but it's too bad they didn't also make MGS1 available for download, as rumored.
I knew it wasn't coming since there would have been some ESRB.org leak.

Wanted ≠ Rumoured.

I don't think I ever came across an actual MGS1 download rumour, just lots of people saying they'd like it to happen in time for MGS4.

:lol Banner is gold...no pun intended, goldrusher.

And holy shit, this week is going to break me; the Hot Shots course, Coldplay pack, and Fatal Inertia EX...sheesh. I never thought in a billion years that I'd be looking forward to Fatal Inertia though. I'm just amazed they actually improved it from the mind-numbingly bad 360 version to the point that it's actually...good.

Best of luck to tanod, the whole thing really sucks and the worst part is there's so little one can do about massive flooding. I'm taking a trip back home to Chicago next week and will have to drive through Iowa to get there, I'm almost afraid to see what it'll look like from the interstate.

I'm pretty sure they'll give Fatal Inertia a chance to sell before they release their own competitive product. So probably as long as a month.
