Honestly now, does that look like a scan to you?MutFox said:So magazine ad scans are ok?
Just wondering.
You forgot that they have it backwards. So they don't get it until 2008. Poor saps.AniHawk said:Holy shit. The Wii actually came out in Europe on August 12. Why didn't anyone say anything?

I'll never understand why you crazy guys name the month before the day. And the year as last. Makes no sense in the order of things.AniHawk said:Holy shit. The Wii actually came out in Europe on August 12. Why didn't anyone say anything?

I love the people on this board and how they think they know how to market a console or any product for that matter.Far more effective would have been the controller on one side, and Wii in small lettering on the other side.

AniHawk said:European fanboys suck. Anyone with good taste knows that MM/DD/YY is the best.
Well I don't care, I just don't want you to get banned for sharing something with us.Martoo said:Dodgy phone camera job.
If it's against the rules I'll remove it. Didn't think it would be a big deal considering it's just an ad, and photo taken very badly .
Not only europeans have the date format like that.AniHawk said:European fanboys suck. Anyone with good taste knows that MM/DD/YY is the best.
HELL YEAH!!Dante said:Exciting times with 2 console launches coming up

And im not European btw, I dont know of any other country that uses MM/DD/YY other than America.

But when you have a schedule, the most important detail is the day, so it comes first. Then the month and the year, BC/AC.maxmars said:[[Clearly the Japanese YYYY/MM/DD is the best, because everybody understands that.]]
Yes. That way the dates are automatically sorted. Gotta love that.
Meh, I say "It's the 12th of August." or "It's the 12th".Cheesemeister said:Like catfish was trying to say, we say "August 12th, 2006" out loud, so writing 8/12/06 makes sense.

BAM. It was like a punch in the face, or a kiss from a hot chick. I'm not sure which, but it certainly gets your attention regardless.
I like it.
