Atari Australia are just pissed the NES was better than the Atari 2600, and they seem to have long standing grudges or something *cry

I got Sonic Heroes today. O_o
EB rang me up on my mobile in the middle of class telling me they got it in. I went

, and walked out. Get this (you can't physically get these words, though).. They got one copy of the GC version packed in with the 20 or so copies for Xbox today (The PS2 version came in yesterday). ONE COPY. Then I tried to place a pre-order for Puyo Pop on GC and couldn't, because it's not on EB's list. PS2, Xbox and GBA.. Yeah. GC? NAH MAN.

I'm loving Sonic Heroes, by the way.. *SHOCK* I'm stuck on the second world, Power Plant. *Thumbs up*

You could say that but that Atari is long dead. The current Atari is really just Infograms in disguise, they bought the name. Remember?

DrZoidberg · « **Reply #29 on:** February 11, 2004, 05:44:31 PM »

aparently i don't

WHY MUST INFOGRAMS TREAT US LIKE THIS THEN

i really like some Infograms games, didn't the publish Worms Armageddon and some Amiga games i like?

I think it's time for me to put some good use to all that $$$ I've got lying around....

....buy Atari, let us Aussies run it, and put this misery to rest.

Ocarina Blue · « **Reply #31 on:** February 12, 2004, 10:58:19 PM »

The guys who published Wroms Armegeddon, eh? My local retailer had so many preorder's it would have taken me a year to get a freakin' copy of it. The bounds of my seemingly-limitless fury regarding that incident were never to be seen.

This is no time for passiveness, Atari have acted (or more specifically, not acted) enough; and they must now face the consequences for their actions! I rekon a few good old tar and featherings are in order, who's with me?

Too late pal I have already acted about 3 years ago.

I just remembered....I've seen PSO for Xbox in my town. Can't remember where....either at Blockbuster or EB (I think EB).

So, who's betting Metal Gear Solid won't come out tomorrow? It sure doesn't seem like it will. UN-

Atari like pushing us further and further.

Mario · « **Reply #35 on:** March 25, 2004, 12:05:25 AM »

I highly doubt it, i really hate Atari, something must be done about them.

How dare they try and ruin our Metal Gear Solid experience.

Classic Metal. New Gear. Shit Publisher.

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #36 on:** March 25, 2004, 12:21:49 AM »

I'm expecting a 2011 release.....

"Ummmmmm....yeah, I finished playing it for the millionth time."
"Now lets get back to work and ship it off to the retail stores."
"Let me play it again one more time...."

Mario · « **Reply #37 on:** March 25, 2004, 04:38:41 PM »

SURPRISE, NO METAL GEAR UNTIL MONDAY.

EB says they're getting the game on the 29th of March, which is Monday.

From Atari's Website:

Metal Gear Solid 2: Twin Snakes Konami OUT NOW

THANKS FOR TELLING US ATARI

NO METAL GEAR SOLID MAKES MARIO TYPE IN CAPSLOCKS >=O

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #38 on:** March 25, 2004, 05:27:42 PM »

I was told next Friday when I went in this afternoon. ;__;
God, Harvest Moon wasn't even out today. It's been removed from EB's release list.... Rad.

GameCube = Mega CD

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #39 on:** March 25, 2004, 08:04:08 PM »

Well, I just got an email from NAL, and it says that MGS is coming out next friday, April 2nd.

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #40 on:** March 25, 2004, 10:40:41 PM »

I'd rather trust NAL than Atari.........

At this point I don't care WHEN i get the game, I'd be lucky to get the game.
But I just got an email from DVD crave - they have me a receipt of the trasnaction, which means I must be getting it sooN!

DrZoidberg · « **Reply #42 on:** March 26, 2004, 02:56:40 AM »

O_< (that's eye twitching for the emoticonally challenged) Harvest Moon IS coming out right? RIGHT? >=O

Say what? I just checked my email, and didn't get one.

Or is that for credit card payment only? I made via Direct Deposit.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #44 on:** March 26, 2004, 04:14:48 PM »

HHHHMMMMMM. DVD Crave now have both MGS and Harvest Moon in stock (10 ++ copies each), yet I rang up two EB's today (because I'm bored) about Harvest Moon, and both claimed it wasn't coming out. I smell a game that's going to be very hard to find in shops, and it smells like erm... cows.. and.. plants.. and.. cute girls.. and.. pet... dogs. =o

Aussie Ben PGC · « **Reply #45 on:** March 26, 2004, 05:20:08 PM »

Damn right it's going to be hard. Look at this note they put on their page later:

Ubisoft have only brought a very limited number of this game into the country. Once we sell out of our initial delivery, We are unlikely to be able to source any more copies of this game.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #46 on:** March 26, 2004, 06:15:46 PM »

..... ;___;
And Ubisoft was one of the last companies that did a decent job of distributing GameCube games in Australia (I still see a zillion copies of Rayman 3 and Splinter Cell everywhere)

Anybody wanna order me a copy of Harvest Moon? I'll pay ya back next week!

RABicle · « **Reply #47 on:** March 27, 2004, 07:03:27 PM »

Yeah someone order me a copy of the Gamecube Harvest Moon please! I'll pay ya back.. erm.. more than Infernal will pay.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #48 on:** March 28, 2004, 04:42:28 PM »

I'll give you my soul.

April 4th for MGS now, it would seem. Fantasstic work once again, Atari.

Mario · « **Reply #49 on:** March 28, 2004, 04:49:23 PM »

April 4th?

Screw you Atari, I don't even want Twin Snakes anymore.

Well, i do, but.. not as much as before...
