Monday is not over yet in the US, lets see who is the man, my source works at Gem, heard of them? my other source works at Midas, heard of them? I gave the info based on what they have been told, which is a lot more than you will ever know, so nothing to do with me being the man, I will keep the info from you in future thats for sure....

DD was right

ok Mr Men thanks for your inside/prediction info.
We all agree on something: That It would be nice If It appeared today.

Thats why i said good luck with it. Seems some may think this is more serious than it is, its not something serious to me...

You dont need to explain anything, i dont have any problem with you, i just think it was silly to spout off the way you did at least 3-5 times in the last week it was coming. Im not holding you personally responisible if it doesnt but the point we = you/me seem to have is you had a problem with my version of when it may appear or how it would be handled. You also quizzed me several times on it and doubted what i was saying was likely. Thats fair enough...

Its not a row its a difference in opinions, however i havnt went out of my way to say a date and tell everyone on the thread, thats left you in a spot, its like playing poker and saying ive got a great hand, im going to show you all im right.

The threads not for falling to pieces between you and me and if others turn on you, blamming you i will personally ask a mod to close the thread and i wont bother with it any further.

Mr Men · 7 May 2007 at 19:31

I doubt others are so petty

I posted once that it was coming, was not spouting off, was not guessing, was passing on good info from good people, shoot me if they are wrong, who cares, the demo being delayed and delayed if it is delayed again, probably means the game is crap and they are afraid to show it before it hits the stores

TriedandTested · 7 May 2007 at 19:33

Just discuss the game and have less of the schoolgirl bickering. Jeezus.

Mr Men..keep the info coming, if it happens to not to be completely accurate who cares..it's all interesting to read.

Mr Latte...chillax dude.

Hmmm....

Oi! Latte, whens the demo out?

Im still saying its likely, not a certainty but likely to be after the update and before the Halo 3 beta.

News of a release should be out by now if it was today, but heck thats only my opinion.

PiKe · 7 May 2007 at 19:34

Why would Gem and Midas know anything to do with the goings on of Microsoft or Turn 10?

^ genuine question, not being arsey.

Mr Men · 7 May 2007 at 19:34

LOL you know who Gem is and what they do?

Sorry for interrupting you say you posted once, i think you need to go back and look how many times you mentioned Monday mate.

Ok lets drop this because its something that should be taken as a laugh and not what its turing into...

edit: (directed at other comments)

FFS listen i dont need to chill, were im standing one guys gonna have egg on his face and well he put himself in that position it was possible. It doesnt mean i take any pleasure over it or am i trying to turn others against Mr Men.
Maybe a lesson is to be learned, besides those in the industry that actually do know when its coming aint on forums spouting off about it.

Within the week is good enough for me...

Never heard of them and Google doesn't return anything of use.

They are the official suppliers for MS in the UK, everything 360 goes through them

Mr Men · 7 May 2007 at 19:38

p.s Mr Latte, the update tomorrow, is not downtime, it will just tell you to update when you log in.

Good to hear that...
Was wondering as we normally have word of it prior to it happening.

Mr Men · 7 May 2007 at 19:44

so it would not affect the demo

Mr Latte · 7 May 2007 at 19:50

Mr Men said:

It might not your right, the update is maybe nothing to do with the demo at all or upgrading servers or the down time, those are all guesses. However its maybe just down to MS timing and marketing.

For example:

New Update
Messenger + many more features
New Keyboard adapter for controllers
The highly anticipated Forza 2 due xx xx xx
The Highly anticipated Halo 3 Beta due (whatever date it is next week)

All that makes for a juicy PR statement, particulary as Sony also have an update and possible press conference spouting off their new features.

dlittley · 7 May 2007 at 19:53

You know its got me thinking.... if having a vocal Community Manager is actually detrimental in some way? I mean I doubt it has affected a game as big as Forza 2, but I cant help thinking the weekly updates and vague mention of the demo has fuelled all the forum explosions about the demo delay (not meaning here specifically).

Bring back the days when demo's used to just appear out of nowhere a la Lost Planet.

Mr Latte · 7 May 2007 at 19:57

I still fail to see the link between a wholesaler/distrubutor/retailer or its staff and the internal ongoings regards Microsoft Live its content or its releases. Microsoft certainly aint discussing these issues with such companies.

A case of tea room chatter gone too far perhaps?

They also handled everything for the Dreamcast too (amongst others). I went to a PR event held by them at Old Trafford just before it was launched in the UK

Asia definetly has the best starter cars.

I'd go CRX, RX7 or MR2-S depending on power/weight. I guess MR2 would be the best though they are all light cars

After watching the Import Nights video I want the RX7 just for the sound of the thing. BWAAAAAARRRRRPPPPPP

I'm still smarting from the lack of AE86 (or Sprinter Trueno) in the start line up
