That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

I added you in Oyvoyvoyv.

I also highlighted peoples predictions in purple, but decided to try change to the light green.... except it isn't working at all, quite often the table special features don't work very well because the cell selection sometimes messes up, but it fixes itself if you post what you have and then edit it again, however it just wont let me change the background colour of the cells from purple... it looks fine in the post, but when I click post and come back to the thread it's still purple.



Alrighty, I'll take a stab at this.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how sales go. TWRoO, you should add a point system when the data comes in.

Something ala

Within 5% = 5 points
Within 10 = 3
Within 20 = 2
Within 30 = 1

Or like this.

Assuming there's 10 people in it

1st place (closest) = 10 points
2nd = 9
3rd = 8
etc

@veggie. Thanks. I'll add it in a second.

@Oyv... yes I was going to do something like that, but I'm going to see how it rolls out first, for instance the weekly sales will be adjusted later on (last years weekly sales are all different to how they were even at the end of the 10 weeks) so I think I will have a couple of different scoring methods.

Perhaps one using the weekly sales as they come out... nearest by percentage gets points etc.
Another using the total sales at the end (final adjusted version)
And maybe a "prize" (sorry though, no real prize) for the one that may not have been the closest each week, but had the general trend of the increases set out correctly.

@BKK2. Thanks.... what about the 160GB thing, or is that coming before the weeks start?



I don't think 160Gb has been announced for Japan.

No I meant... when is it due in Europe and USA, is it out now or will it also be launched during these 10 weeks.

Oh, and what are the specs of the 80G in Japan? will it be the same as the current model (it's just 40G there now right?) but with more memory? has it got colour variations, is it in a bundle etc.

Also wasn't there already an 80GB in Japan? or was that a different 80GB (MGS4 bundle?)

 



Ah, OK, I don't think an actual date has been announced for 160Gb in NA & PAL yet, just November.

80Gb comes bundled with Littlebigplanet and an extra DualShock 3. There's a GT5 bundle too. The old 80Gb model with backwards compatibility was never released in Japan.
