Awesome! Congrats and welcome to the club. Now you can add me to your xbox live.

My gamertag for live is: b0omz

My friend code for wii is: 1658-0580-7892-4716

To add me just goto the bottom right icon that says Wii Message Board, and from there goto the 2nd icon on the bottom left that says Create New Message, and then click the icon of the Address Book and then you can get your friend code from there, and while in there you click Register and select Wii, and enter my friend code, and we can swap msgs and share Miis. I'll work on getting some celebrity Mii avatars so you can access them and add them to your Mii plaza for some celebrity deathmatch in the wiisports boxing game...

If anyone has Final Fantasy III for Nintendo DS (Manic?), please post your friend code here so we can use the Mognet thing...I'll post mine here as well.  We should turn this into the Console Game Thread :p.

Cool, thanks for that Lithium. My only gripe with that site is that they say who their source is yet the link doesn't take you to the original Joystiq article it came from. So I went to Joystiq for more details, and it turns out that link you gave me copied everything word for word. Shame on them!

Anyways here are the patch notes for today's GoW update which should be available anytime now if not already:

• Fixed aspect ratio distortion when using VGA cable with 4:3 displays at resolutions higher than 640x480
• Fixed voice issue with new players joining Player Match games in progress
• Players can now get the Achievement for "Dish Best Served Cold" when using Troika turret to kill RAAM
• Fixed rare situation where host could loop countdown and never start match
• Fixed rare situation where players could get stuck after chainsawing in multiplayer
• Reduced Grenade Tag melee distance
• Enabled "Strict" NAT check on host to prevent possible connection issues
• Optimized server browser queries to return results more quickly and prevent scroll bars from hiding quality of service icons
• Reduced number of possible revives in Execution to match Warzone
• Removed host name from Ranked match server browser
• Disabled security cameras in Ranked matches
• Ranked matches now require balanced teams (3v3 or 4v4)
• Increased penalty for quitting a Ranked match to -50 points
• Added additional cheat detection code
• Additional housekeeping updates
