How odd that it's still counting down... to something....

you know that if you click on it, it redirects you to Toys'R'Us.com

The original timer was from the Toys R Us website.

Isn't the Metroid Prime trilogy releasing in August?

Though I find myself more curious about what it is you were searching for...

The PS3 timer is two days ahead of the Wii timer. The PS3 launched two days before the Wii.

It's just a relic of the past--it's not counting down to anything.

Fixed to reflect what is more realistic.

I'm going to guess the timers just reset when they hit zero. So they have been recounting down for several years now.

But the systems launched in November and these are counting down to someday in August. That seems kind of strange...

So they run off the Mayan lunar calendar.

I agree with Stratos. Someone should fix that.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 15, 2009, 08:32:45 PM »

There is a Game Con in August.
Liepzig Germany? is that the one.
Let the countdown continue.

nickmitch · « **Reply #15 on:** June 15, 2009, 08:49:33 PM »

I doubt Toys 'R' Us would be that concerned with it.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 15, 2009, 08:54:46 PM »

Did you forget already....

PS3slim & Black Wii to be announced in August @ Leipzig.
That is what the counter is counting down to.

BELIEVE

I believe we should post these on the front page of NWR. We just need to convince a staffer it's legit...

No, I still remember the thread and it was counting up with a negative time....

A perfect explanation with sheep

That's it. I'm releasing a countdown clock right here, right now. It counts down to nothing, and it moves at an irregular rate of time. But it is still counting down:

No. That's your own countdown. Not mine. Mine won't be moving for probably a day or two. And it'll still be in that post.

I don't know what either of you are counting down to but I find myself strangely excited.
