I finally found it at a decent price yesterday from the UK. All the asshole stores in Australia knew it would sell so have been charging a fortune.

I'll give you a hint:

Quote

KZ2 only reflects 2 days of sales I believe.

Quote

K2 did well for only a few days. It's a game that will have really long legs imo.

Quote

Great numbers for Killzone 2 considering it has like..5 days of sales or something.

Quote

(kz2 came out on Feb 27, only two days)

Quote

Oh no.
Edit: Oh wait, KZ2 was only out for 2 days, never mind.

Quote

Next month is one of those months where I hope the top 20 leaks fairly quickly.

Lots of big games. And we get to see whether Killzone 2 is a megahit or just a relative hit. (Editor's Note: lol)

Quote

Killzone 2 will get a lot more sales, but Sony's awful marketing won't let it sell nearly as many as it should. How are they not all fired?

Quote

If this is true, holy shit.

#5 is great for 2 days of sales.

It's incredible. Half of them get so wound up by seeing Killzone 2 mentioned with a negative slant that they either can't or don't want to understand what the poor man is trying to say (not realizing that actually reading it would show that it's not a negative article), and the other half bitches about the pointlessness of the article itself (there's some overlap of people of the former group in there too, since it lets them discredit the article and presumably sleep well at night). No matter how pointless the article may be, it's highly valuable journalism when measured against the idiotic discussion surrounding it.

I remember seeing Bruce Springsteen song on Pop-up Video back in the day and it said that him and David Lynch were roommates in College but Lynch kicked him out for being too weird. I always found it to be an amazing factoid but still see no other references to it online, which makes me think it wasn't true, but I really wish it was.

I think if it were true it would be all over the web. Lynch did go to school and spent much of his time in the 70s in the Philly area, though.

Looks like Lynch hit school in Philly by 1966, by which time Bruce was already touring all over the place with other bands, so it's most likely not true.

TPB verdict will be appealed of course, this is just end of part one of the spectacle.

One of the more interesting things about this is that one of the defendants got the word from a journalist yesterday evening, even though the verdict wasn't to be made public until 11.00 CET today.

brokep wrote on his blog: "It used to be only movies, now even verdicts are out before the official release."

The district court in Stockholm has reported this leak to the police.
