On Saturday, police arrested an 18-year-old male student from Katagami City in the northern Japanese prefecture of Akita for allegedly posting manga online. According to the authorities, the suspect said he downloaded the manga from the Internet and wanted to make a site for the manga. According to the police's High-Tech Crime Joint Task Center, the suspect used his home computer to save the 11th Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan (Nurarihyon no Mago) volume, the 14th Sket Dance volume, and the eighth Eden no Ori volume onto the servers of an online storage service, Megaupload. He then allegedly distributed these manga titles for free downloads from August 15 to September 3 of last year, in violation of the Copyright Law of Japan. The suspect opened his "Manga.jp" blog last March, and he received download requests for manga from readers on a forum. Including the three titles he was initially charged with distributing, he allegedly made 3,800 files from about 260 titles available to the public. With 2.5 million hits so far, the suspect reportedly received 270,000 yen (about US$3,300) in advertising revenue. During a search of the suspect's home on the day of his arrest, police confiscated 26 items including personal computers, hard drives, and his bankbook. Source:ANN

Eurogamer review added, should be more reviews coming out in the next few which is good.

As is the norm with all new game releases sometimes bugs and issues slip through and you are the one to discover them. They're annoying sure but usually there is a way to fix it so feel free to post your support questions here to see if any of our members can collectively find the solution or work out why something is happening in the first place. When you post your thread please make sure to post your format and also with your title make it clear and descriptive. Threads saying "I need help!", "Help me!!", "AAAAHHHH" etc or the like will be removed as they don't help in giving the member who may wish to help or know some very useful information in anyway of what your issue is. Not to mention that others in the future will be able to find your thread very easily via a search should they have the same problem. Hopefully there won't be to much need for this area but as with everything, you never know what will happen until it happens. Thanks. :coolspot:

Hey all, as of the time of this posting TDU2 is out in North America and sure enough many of you will be wanting to show off some of your fantastic images and visuals you are currently sporting on the game. So like with TDU we give you a dedicated section to do this. Typical rules apply and of course please only post your images in your own thread of which you can only have one. Anyone found posting multiple threads will have their thread either moderated, be moderated themselves or will be banned from this section completely. Play nice guys and girls! We look forward to seeing what you come up with again. :monkeydance:

Well it's M$ who have to put it up, note Destra says that it is scheduled to be up before the end of the 9th so this is M$ scheduling not Atari.

Yeah the TDUc Xbox club(s) will be making a comeback.

Steam is going to be available from 10AM PST.

Just saw this posted on the official forums. So don't worry if your code isn't working at this moment in time. It's all M$'s fault as per usual. :cheeky:

I'll stick to 108's, also there's good and bad in this. 80MSP is the least I believe M$ will allow you to charge for content so Atari have been sort of kind in that respect however with them being 108's it means they are actually already on the disk. If the same is to be said for the pre-order exclusives then that would really be a kick in the teeth so I am hoping the pre-order bonus Download is actually a download and not a simple 108.

One of them was on the list? Oh they are 108's. Then again 80MSP isn't bad. :hmmm: dilemma.

They're being flown in especially for me to shear.

Baldy told me to. He is the new God of TDUCk, shout at him. I'm off, got a job in Alaska shearing polar bears.

TDU2 is dead on here, we are TDU Central so no TDU2. Sorry. It's Baldy's fault for this, I followed his advice like all admins do. :bparty:

Events will be posted in this very forum (not thread) with the title showing the format and name of the event and the thread description showing the date and time. Example: [PC] TDU2 is out everywhere celebration cruise 11/02/2011 @ 20:00/8PM GMT

The car maker Subaru and the anime studio Gainax announced on Monday that they are streaming their entire Hōkago no Pleiades (Afterschool Pleiades/Wish Upon the Pleiades) series of original net anime shorts with official English subtitles.
