Yay it landed.
Just saw this on the news. It will be interesting to see what it finds!
My prediction threads:
Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)
PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)
Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

This is actually the third robot they've sent to mars. They sent Spirit And Opportunity. Opportunity is still working, but last year Spirit succumbed to the harsh Martian winter.
Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.
Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

Some one didn't read the entire OP. ;p
Crap, missed it. That's what I get for watching the Olympics. Not a single announcement for the Mars landing during the whole Olympic feed :/
The weird thing is I already saw this landing on Discovery HD a month ago, all computer animation of course but the program pretended it had already happened.
When do we get results from the dig sites?

Actually this is the fourth.
Did ya forget the itty bity Pathfinder from 1997?
I bet this rover will pave the way for a human voyage to the red planet. The finds will fuel it.

Quote from the New York Times:
"Over the first week, Curiosity is to deploy its main antenna, raise a mast containing cameras, a rock-vaporizing laser and other instruments, and take its first panoramic shot of its surroundings. NASA will spend the first weeks checking out Curiosity before embarking on the first drive. The rover will not scoop its first sample of Martian soil until mid-September at the earliest, and the first drilling into rock is not expected until October or November."
