Revealed: In the UK, N-gage sold...

[jpdill]

... under 500 units.

This makes it the worse console launch ever, and is very very bad, because the UK industry is the most mobile/portable-friendly country. This must make Sony tremble with fear.

And as has been said before GameBoy Advance SP is the god of all portability .

[spiderman_2k]

Why would it make sony tremble??

Also not suprised it did so bad...Not suprised at all.

[HeadHunter]

its probably because most people see it as a **** phone....thats the way i see it as it is sold in phone shops

[spiderman_2k]

It looks like a pile of ****...Plays like a pile of ****...And costs about the same as gold covered pile's of ****.....Nokia are fools.

because sony are bringing out a handheld...and it will probably do the same as the N Gage

[jediknight]

SP is the the god of gaming portability so far...

Sony's is looking to up the SP by making theirs more like a portable machine should be, I'm looking forward to it.

Sony know loads about the Gaming market in general...Nokia know ****...As has just been proven by the N-Gage sales...Sony know what gamers want...Nokia rushed in and it has been there downfall in the gaming market.

[Grindie]

Wheere did you get this info, Jpdill? I find it too good to be true.

[spiderman_2k]

Thats one thing that irritates me about him...He never gives links to his info....

[jpdill]

I've said it before - no links to any news you get here first. That's because i'm a effing control freak who wants to be the first with as much as i can...

[spiderman_2k]

You should'nt be allowed to post here anymore man, you could just be spreading BS all over the place.

[jpdill]

I know i could be. Just wait until all the gaming sites are updated though.

It should tell you all my gaming news stuff.

[spiderman_2k]

Personally I think you are pathetic in wanting to get the "gaming news" out first, is there any point at all to it??

[jediknight]

Let's not forget that the N-Gage has horrible design and only one good launch game. I haven't heard about anymore games coming out for it other than their launch games. Sony knows the market, they've been it for long enough to know that along with a great product, you have to have great games.

No point really - but unless you and your other 2 gimpy friends stop being a dick to me, i will be as tight-lipped as i can be. Which is very.

[spiderman_2k]

Cool...That means you wont post right??...Everybody wins that way...

[jpdill]

LOL - even though you're insulting me, you're quite funny.

[logan350]

Jpdill have you ever tried to make real friends? I'm pretty sure you haven't otherwise you wouldn't have time to look up or make up the info you post.

You think what spidey said was funny? You thinking that by being the first person to post your false info makes up for ALWAYS being the last person to run your fat ass past the finish line while running the mile in gym class back in grade school............now thats funny.


:D :D :D :D :applaud: :D :applaud: :D :applaud:

p.s. no offense on the funny comment spidey, it was very funny

[jpdill]

false info?

how do you know it's false?

what evidence is there saying it's false? go on - answer it.

read the reports tmrw or on Saturday, when the console has been out in the UK for a complete week.

Then we'll see what's false and what's right.

[spiderman_2k]

Right now at this very moment, what evidence is there saying its true??

[Grindie]

Jpdill's the kinda guy who starts rediculous internet rumours like : Jamie Lee Curtis was born a Hermapherodite... well, now that I think about it, she does seem a bit manly.

[spiderman_2k]

:hehe:

[jpdill]

We'll see - this is also something i'm adding, just like i did with the fact you Americans don't believe the new Harry Potter film is 12A, to the 'Say "Hah" to all the people who doubted you' when i turn out to be right.

So just so we don't start another ****ty debate, it ends here.

Over.

[jediknight]

does 12A = PG13?

[spiderman_2k]

Wow and your word is the be all and end all...:rolleyes:
Also that sentance is kind of hard to read, maybe you want to tidy it up a little bit so it is readable.

[spiderman_2k]

And also Jpdill all i ever said was we wont see a 15 version of HP on a DVD....

[logan350]

I don't like to reveal my sources because I'm anal and uptight.

Sound familiar?!?! Now you know how you sound.

[jpdill]

It does - in America, they're alot stricter with ratings.

In the UK, most PG-13s become 12A, but some becomes PGs or possibly 15 depending on the context of the story.

A film that is made to be a 12A is always gonna be a PG-13 in the US - Harry Potter is being made so it's 12A ON PURPOSE. So it'll be PG-13 unless they cut something out of the US version.

U = G
PG = PG/PG-13
12A = PG-13
15 - PG-13/R
18 = R

As you can see, the UK ratings are a little lower down.

I've been on HP3 work experience - the stunt team i was with said this (not exact words but basic point):

"You seen Terminator 3?"

I said I had

"Well cos' T3 got away with a 12A, and the fact everyone goes to see 12As (he was refering to POTC), the studio has decided that from now on, all the HP films will be aiming for the 12A rating"

Later on....

"The film should appeal to a wider audience, cos' we have the best story from the books, with more gory action".

Now the final thing i'm gonna "let slip" is this:

There is a scene that is the equivalent to when the TX goes through the man's back.

So maybe this will be cut from the US version, and be a European exclusive - after all, it was this scene that gave T3 that 'R' rating in the US.

[Riddle]

Did jpdill call ME a dick?

[spiderman_2k]

Pretty much, Yes.

[jpdill]

Or possibly be on the DVD. Who knows...

And the werewolf its self is 12A material. I saw the stunt stuff of that. There was wirework involved, so i couldn't like go really up-close, but it's very big.

Can't really say anything else now other than they're going to start making the sets for Goblet of Fire quite soon. There are ideas - i saw cos' the stunt team have a say in how it's designed, as they'll be using it more than anyone else.

EDIT: spelt a word wrong

[Riddle]

There's no way any HP movie will be 12A....
That's just suicide.

[jpdill]

[Riddle]

Doesn't it bother you, the fact that everybody hates you?

[spiderman_2k]

Okay guys time for everyone to cool down a little.....

[jpdill]

Spiderman - what is it with these stupid people who don't accept that it'll be 12A.

Disney have no ****ing problem with their stuff being 12A, so why the hell would Warner.

They need to sort out their attitudes. Why don't they accept it, and stop being so arrogant. I'm right, they're wrong. You may not like the idea that i'm right, but that's life - deal with it.

[jpdill]

Being 12A would be the smartest move they'd make, cos' people will see it just cos' it's that.

12A means "suitable for teenagers without them getting embarrassed"

[logan350]

Lets report jpdil for using fowl language.

I also want everyone to know I fell out of my chair from laughing so hard when Jpdill claimed to have worked with the T3 stunt team. I can smell his BS all the way from the U.K.

[Riddle]

Yeah.......nevermind the fact that their key demographic is of an age group of 9-13.....

Next you're going to tell me that Matrix Revolutions will now get a U rating.....

Jpdill has worked on every movie made in the past 5 years! Haven't you heard?

1) It's not T3 stunt crew - it's Harry Potter.

2) It's not exactly hard to get work experience - we have to do it in Year 10/11 by law, so i chose Sheperdon.

3) Cos' the stunt director is local to me, my dad who owns the local shop meets him everyday when he gets his milk and newspaper. My dad got me w/e for when i had to do it, and also once a month when HP4 starts.

4) I know you won't believe me anyway, even if i got proof. That's why i want to end this now.

5) By the way, next year i'm going to be taking the piss out of you SO much, you'll regret messing with me in the first place.

Harry Potter is made at Sheperton Studios, not that far away from where i live (about 50 miles)

WHAT?!?! ARE YOU EVEN TRYING TO TYPE IN ENGLISH?!?! I was under the impression that Oxford taught smart people, you can't make 1 sentence make sense so that takes you out of the smart category.

Keep up with the threats man, it makes it twice as much fun when I verbally pummel you in front of everyone and more and more people join the "Jpdill is a dumbass" club.

[jpdill]

You're the illiterate one if there has to be one.

My sentence was pefectly fine - what was wrong in it? It's spelt correctly, i used the right grammar and punctuation.

So Logan - what's wrong with "5) By the way, next year i'm going to be taking the piss out of you SO much, you'll regret messing with me in the first place."?

Heheh....."spelt"....:applaud:

[jpdill]

WTF - you're both sad.

I can see what you're doing. Or maybe this the real you...

[Riddle]

I just thought the phrase "It's spelt correctly." is pretty funny.

Honestly, jpdill. Everyone knows you're full of it. So, take it somewhere else....

[jpdill]

Full of what - lies?

Tell me where i have said it will happen and it hasn't happened...

Other than the Matrix thing, which i've apoligised for.

Go on. See! Never. All i say is correct so shut up in other words.

This N-gage and HP3 being 12A stuff is all true, and whether you belive it or not, that's your problem. The only problem i have is that it won't say it's 12A until next May, so i pissed off about that.

And i can't actually give you any scene details, as i'd be in serious ****. So you'll just have to take my word with this HP3 thing.

But for the N-gage thing, i'm not worried. Tomorrow i expect a few apoligies from you lot, when i can finally willingly prove i'm right, and you lot wrong. Tolerating you dumb-arses will finally be paid off.

And report me then. Don't really care, cos at the end of the day i'm right and you're wrong.

[jpdill]

Also a direct quote from Chris Rankin (Percy) from a while back:

"Obviously when working on a film you have to edit bits down to get everything in, but I don’t think it’LL make too much difference. I’ve a feeling it might be a 12A certificate, but that won’t stop kids coming to see it."

Us Americans don't get "12A" ratings. :confused:

[logan350]

I find it really funny when jpdill gets raving like he is, I can just see tears flowing down his eyes while he rips out chunks of his hair banging his head on his keyboard. The guy is full of it, he's on the internet so much he probably never leaves his room hence he would have no time to be "working on movies". He's probably like John Nash he lives in his own little world the only difference is jpdill isn't intelligent at all.

Can somebody at least tell me if the way jpdill writes is the way the English talk because it seems to me his sentences never seem to make sense. It's like drunken babble to me is it just him or is there a differant dialect in the U.K. I think it's him because all the other U.K.'ers I can understand just fine.

[Tony Montana]

My english is bad (and 3rd language) but his is worse.

I have seen that everyone is talking about HP so I wanted to know: Do you really want to see it/ have seen it without a gun pointed to your head?

I want to see it, because it's my favourite book out of all of them.

And that it looks really good.

But it's a 3 hour film, so that may its downfall.

Also, my english is fine. You don't see me: criticising your english, insulting any of your comments, saying anything about you, so don't be so bloody rude.

[logan350]

See jpdill one more person jumping on the bandwagon of how much we HATE you. I can't think of one other person that hates me on this site.....you have like 20.

[Tony Montana]

Dont missunderstand me Logan, I dont hate him. I dont know him and never have seen him, so I cant hate him. I dont understand what he is saying or why he acts like he does, but thats the way he is. We probably wont become friends, but I guess he doesnt need friends at all. They could probably infiltrate his room and find his sources out!!!

[spiderman_2k]

I left work yesterday and came back this morning to see jpdill left a few coments and I felt the need to give my 2 cents worth.

[spiderman_2k]

Why...Cant you 2 just...let it go?

[logan350]

Hey don't start badgering me on this you've made your fair share of comments to the moron.

[spiderman_2k]

Yeah and now i let it go...Its pathetic to carry things on.

[logan350]

Your not calling me pathetic are you?

[spiderman_2k]

Im stating that it is pathetic, if you dont like the guy ignore him, you dont have to blast him everytime he says something..No matter how stupid the thing he says is, if you have him ignored, you wont have to read it.

[logan350]

I think I'll just stick to dropping an occasional posts letting him know he's full of it.

[spiderman_2k]

Why?

[logan350]

Why not? You do it? That moderator letter didn't get you scared did it?

[spiderman_2k]

Nope not at all...And i dont do it anymore....Its lame really when I think about it...It's easily solvable..Ignore him if you dont like him.

[logan350]

No offense spidey you seem like a good guy and I hope you don't take this the wrong way but just because you've found enlightenment at some point yesterday and decided to ignore jpdill instead of verbally rough him up a bit shouldn't mean that now everyone needs to follow your example. I respect your suggestion and have no problem with you doing that, I'd hope you'd at least do the same for me. I will try and respect the fact that other people don't want to see two people argue back and forth all day long on this site so I will do my best to cut back on the arguing but I'm probably not going to stop completely. As jpdill has said he has the right to post what he wants no matter how stupid it is so I equally have the right to let him know just how stupid it is.

[spiderman_2k]

What you do is Bannable...What he does is'nt...thats where the line is drawn...IMO

[spiderman_2k]

Well he was telling the truth about the N-Gage doing **** buisness....

Presumably, a good chunk of those stores are in the mobile-phone-mad United Kingdom (population: 59.2 million). N-Gage sales in the UK, though, have not been good.

According to the sales-data company Chart Track, fewer than 500 N-Gage units were purchased in British video game retailers in its first week on the market. The report went on to say that the Game Boy Advance outsold the N-Gage at a rate of 30 to 1. Also, no N-Gage title was in the top 40 games sold in the UK that week.

While certainly not good, the UK sales figures aren't as bad as they might seem. Chart Track's figures do not include N-Gage sales from mobile phone stores where the new game console and other Nokia products are sold. However, they do indicate that when British gamers shop at game stores, they are not particularly n-clined to buy the N-Gage.

If you are referring to the name calling, jp name calls just as much as logan does.

[logan350]

lol........you did get scared from the letter. It's not banible, I havent gotten vulgar, the moderator even said so(he said I did nothing wrong......yet) besides jpdill is throwing insults right back. That would be like you and I going to a store to shop lift together both of us stealing crap and then me going and telling on you. I'd be in just as much trouble if I did that.

Look like I said if you want to not knock the guy anymore for being an ass thats fine with me I have no problem what so ever I understand you have more to loose being at an insane amount of posts compared to my meger 300. Just don't start acting like I'm the bad guy when you've said your fair share of stuff.

[Tony Montana]

Staying out of this one....

No I did not get scared, I have done worse on here than insult jpdill..Your right you have done nothing wrong, but you have basically been told to ignore him instead of bashing him all the time, it would be much simpler...Dont insult him, he wont insult back, it is as clear-cut as that... Im not acting like you are the bad guy, im just asking you to cool off and back down, i admit i have said things, but I have cooled down and realised it does'nt get me anywhere by insulting him.

[logan350]

Well you'd probably have a valid point if say around 3 or 4 weeks had gone by since you stopped bashing jpdill and I was still going on like a lunatic about the guy but thats not the case. It's been less than 24 hours I believe since your last "insult" to the guy and now (and again no offense) your trying to play daddy with me. If in a couple of weeks I'm still bad mouthing jpdill an insane amount of times and you want to say "ok man he's gotten the point enough is enough" I will gladly agree with you and back off. But now it just seems like your trying to play follow the leader and getting a bit miffed because I'm not following. Remember nobody likes a hypocrite.

Again I don't have any beef with you just giving you my opinion. What do you say we drop this before we irritate one another?

[spiderman_2k]

Im not trying to play "daddy" with you, i am offering friendly advice, i have already pointed out that what Jpdill said the N-Gage sold turned out to be true...After finding this out I believe some of the things he said could very well be true..So it is not my place to bash him once he has proven that something he says is true....You dont have to follow me, it is your own choice, but if you keep it up Jpdill will goto a Mod again and you will be properly warned, by this time the mods would now keeping an eye on you....Also im not being hypocritical i have stated why i have stopped bashing him in this post...Like it or not, the guy wasn't lying about this.

[jpdill]

look - i don't want any apoligy or anything, as i was demanding yesterday.

I don't want this bickerring to continue. I end it here.

If any of you attack me when i post some news or something, i'll just block you. Don't really like it when i'm told i'm talking bull.

At the end of the day it's me who knows i'm right/wrong, so i don't think i need any of you lot telling me what i am.

[spiderman_2k]

And that should end that.

[logan350]

Well yeah the guy is going to be right some of the time, you'll notice I don't go bugging him about Star Wars stuff really because he seems to be a little bit more factual on that. (Except for his views on GL, they seem a little to obsesive but whatever). That doesn't mean though that when I think he's wrong or lying I'm not going to tell him.

My biggest problem with jpdill wasn't that he post info it's that he post stuff that he knows nothing about. And instead of taking critisism he just got all high and mighty. So I decided someone needs to bring him down a notch. Plus I think his movie experience stories are well shady I guess would be the best word for it.

I appreciate you trying to give me the warning, unfortunetly sometimes when things are said on here they get misconstrued.

what you on about you stupid ass ****.

"spelt a word wrong" is an easier way of saying "I spelt a word wrong"

I didn't spell anything wrong.

'spelt' and 'spelled' are the same thing, however 'spelled' is the american version. It's my regional dialect, so don't go jumping to conclusions

[jpdill]

Also apoligise for calling me a dumb ass

[Kris Hodgson]

"spelt" is not a regional dialect. It's a spelling error. Check any dictionary. And I will not say sorry for stating a fact. Silly bloke.

Spelt is in my dictionary....

Spell v Spelt or spelled.....

It may not be in the american dictionary, but it is everywhere else.

[adt100]

I can't believe this thread has turned into an argument on spelling. :rolleyes:

Anyway, jpdil and spiderman are correct, the English spelling is traditionally 'spelt', however, 'spelled' is also an accepted spelling and is in the Oxford English Dictionary (and any other reputable dictionary) as such.

Yup

[logan350]

[spiderman_2k]

Yes Logan it would appear to be you.
Im not ass kissing, he was right with what he said...And was insulted for the spelling reason, even though it was totally wrong.
I looked it up in the Dictionary as i was wondering if i have always spelt it wrong, i posted what was said in the dictionary

[logan350]

Well if I'm a dick then I seem to be in the right place, this forum seems to attract a lot of them. (Talking more about the newbie bashing all over the forum)

[spiderman_2k]

I dont see much newbie bashing, the person most responsible for that was Doofy Gilmore and he has been banned.

[logan350]

Never seen any of his posts only heard about him.

[Kris Hodgson]

DOOFY WAS BANNED! When? How? What a glorious day this is. I can't believe I missed it.

[spiderman_2k]

:D...I reported him to Iben after he pissed me off for the last time.

[Kris Hodgson]

sweet

[spiderman_2k]

He came back under a few names names I think it was 4 in total....Pretty sure JBond has banned his IP now.

[Iben]

is there still a topic going on here?

[spiderman_2k]

Not really....It sort of veered off...It was confirmed as true and nothing really else needs to be said...IMO
