Terrific news from around the spectrum gentlemen. I can’t associate with any game that requires the latest computer, the bust-out retail price, and requires me to coordinate with other people to get the full experience. Give me the bargain bin, last generation’s graphics and the solo mode.

Good on you for the flat-rate voice demand, but watch out for flat rate mobile data- it’s a tar-baby and even the developed market carriers can’t keep it up for long. Look for some embarrassing marketing campaigns soon, trying to convince people there’s something better than unlimited.

I am forced to conclude from the background noise that Toby is playing some version of the Pac-Man series throughout the show? Maybe that could wait an hour in future… or maybe my earphones make odd beeps whenever I listen to SA content.

About Modern warfare 2 and Online play…Thanks to the idiots at infinity ward they don’t not think it would be necessary to support dedicated servers but rather have a system in place where it automatically connects you to any random server :( which is hosted by anouther player.

This means SGS and ISgaming cant create servers leaving us to play on overseas servers or slow servers that are hosted on any players PC. http://pc.ign.com/articles/103/1036296p1.html

Its absolutely pathetic! I for one will not be buying MW2 or any other bloody infinity ward game until this is fixed!

Upset person out :(
