Gamestation

* This is a rumour.

A friend of mine sent me a very ammusing photo of herself with a rather nice Sonic hat on. When I asked her about it she said that her Gamestation had a delivery of them.

She didn't say if it was for a give-away or some kind of new merch that would be on sale, but it would be an idea to check out a local gamestation if it's not out of the way.

PSN/XBL

Free Sonic Generations demo.

(If you don't have Xbox gold you have to wait until next week. Go on... Cry).

No idea for any other regions or if anywhere else is doing anything. But keep your eyes open.

[Phos]

What times do PSN and XBL usually update? I think XBL updates at midnight in Redmond, which means about 15 minutes from now.

[GameFarnsworth940]

Any word on US store promos? I feel like ringing in my first day of Summer break with some possible Sonic goodies.

[hypermikey]

Would've been nice if Worcester was on the list! I took a chance anyway & went in & asked, but the manager looked at me like I was a mental patient on a day out! Never mind, I'm sure these will turn up on ebay (though getting one for free would've been sweeter!)
