I work in software, it would have been a very clear release blocker on any sensible Q+A dept's scale.
Do they need stereo sound in loss adjustment spreadsheets

It honestly wouldn't surprise me to get the Change Request.

Just got a Justifier Light Gun to go with my soon to arrive copy of Snatcher for Â£3, for that price it was worth it!

I've had a further thought on this.

Which is more broken? The Wii's mono sound or the PS2's lack of online play?

I was leaning towards PS2 as I already have a guitar, but its offline only.

Quake for the Saturn arrived this afternoon, I've never really given Quake a decent play through, somebody will no doubt tell me the Saturn's not the machine to do it on

If you purchased it for the Saturn then it is the ideal machine to play it on

Just bought Animal Crossing on the Gamecube for my sister for Christmas. She's wanted it for so long and has been addicted to Animal Crossing: Wild World on the DS since I bought it for her last Christmas! It's been incredibly hard to source, I decided not to use eBay as an option, just in case I got a copy that didn't work. And besides, I'm glad it worked when I tested it, 'cos Â£19.99 for a pre-owned Gamecube game is extortion!

The Wii.

The PS2 one is just a missing feature. That's fair enough unless they claim to have it.

The Wii version claims to have Dolby Pro Logic 2 and doesn't even have stereo.

Now it's possible you can make a case for being a better version but there's nothing that makes the PS2 version "Broken" as such.

That I didn't know. I assumed they'd just glossed over it. An obvious bug rather than a design decision then.

I've always fancied those but never seen them around. What's the going rate for them?

Amplitude - Â£15 second hand from e-bay. Really got hooked as Official Playstation 2 Magazine had a demo on the cover about two months ago and fell in love. Frequency - Â£13 again second hand from Amazon, I l really love this as well. Must say, have been really luck with my second hand purchases - the discs are in near perfect condition. Am going to have curb the spending on the old games for a little while. If I had the room and money, it would be Guitar Hero all the way. Great little party games those two as well.

YASI/Protector & Thrust for the Vectrex, Star Raiders for the 2600 plus Contra 4 and Hotel Dusk for the DS.

Not a bad week, all in all.

And on the GHIII/mono subject:

Fix Coming For Wii's Guitar Hero III Mono Problem

Activision will offer free, remastered game disks in early 2008.

"We recently became aware that some consumers have not been able to enjoy the full audio output in the Nintendo Wii version of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. We are currently working with Nintendo and are planning to issue an improved audio experience in future versions of the game," said Activision spokeswoman Rhy-Ming Poon. "We expect to have re-mastered discs available by early 2008 and we will be offering consumers replacement discs at no cost once they become available. We thank all of our customers for their support and patience."

a 6-button MD pad in Gamestation for Â£1.99

I've got 2 already but the D-Pad on them both is really shakey and loose, this one is perfect.
