"Is there any particular reason why Europe has a two-week delay?
- "It's simply round production, in which there's a finite factory output, so it's easier to phase it and therefore have healthy volumes in both regions. Put the initial slug into the US, and then it gives us an opportunity to catch up and have extra production ready for the European launch date." "

There you go EU guys. Extra production for you!

Scant consolation, my friend. But we can wait.

It will only really hurt if the XB1 releases on the 15th in Europe. Those will be 2 weeks of torture and not-so friendly banter!

It's maybe 'scant consolation' for the early adopter, but for long term success in Europe, it's imperative to have more stock. This is a smart move.

Agreed man! Most of my mates are getting PS4s here in the UK. There are some getting an Xbox One though... Can't wait for all the good ol' chats about the 2.

Better than waiting until 2014 for an Xbone!

At least it's better than the delay for the PS3, it was something like 6months last time, stupid blu-ray diode problems....

I wonder if the deal with Virgin extends further than just broadband. Sony will want an easy way of providing IPTV and perhaps Virgin will welcome a slice of that pie.

The biggest thing I am happy for is the mention that the memory card prices haven't actually been dropped like people say they have, if they drop enough I am most definitely buying a vita.

vigilante_man3896d ago

On Amazon.co.uk the 16GB card is now £25. I paid £39 2 months ago. The 64GB card has gone up but I believe low stock is the problem.

RiPPn3896d ago

I don't think there is a 64GB vita memory card, if there was I would be all over it unless the price was insane.

vigilante_man3896d ago

Sorry! The 32GB has gone up from £54.99 to £64.99.

The 16GB card is okay at £25..

Vita will succeed.

TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants review - Games Asylum

Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
