9:31AM Seamus Byrne | Looking to grab a rare pokémon and Chreish Ball for that ever expanding Pokédex of yours? As part of promos for the new Pokémon movie (oh, lord, another one befouls our cinemas) which stars the “mysterious” Manaphy, from 7-13 November you can take your DS into any JB Hi-Fi to grab the download for nix. All you need is a DS, a copy of Diamond or Pearl, and a Pokédex. If you’re having problems, we’ve been told staff will be able to assist. Or you can make absolutely sure of what you’re meant to do by checking this page at Nintendo’s site.
For the details freaks, Manaphy has an ‘exclusive’ move called Heart Swap, which switches healing effects with other Pokémon. What this means in practice beats me — maybe an ‘in the know’ reader will share some thoughts. I figure most people who play Pokémon get seriously hooked, so if that means you, make sure you use this one week window to catch another for your collection. You don’t want this gap in your Pokédex, do you? DO YOU? [The official Manaphy website] More »

9:50AM Seamus Byrne | Straight from the pages of teen dream magazine. Earlier in the year JB Hi-Fi took to the stage with Blu-ray to announce they were going steady. This was exclusive dating. There would be no two timing. They even wore Blu-ray’s swim team jacket.
About eight months later, it now seems JB Hi-Fi has told Blu-ray “it’s not you, it’s me” and “maybe we should be open to new experiences for a while”. Sure, they’ll still be friends, but they’ll just also be spending a little time with the guys from the track team. Of course, the captain of the track team? HD DVD! Oh man!
No doubt Blu-ray will be putting on the “that’s fine” and “we understand”, but I know I just heard a heartstring breaking. -Seamus Byrne [The press release] More »
