We'ri not too sure what plans Sony has for this PlayStation site so suggest you visit www.playstation.com in the meanwhile. www.nintendo.co.uk goes to some bloke's home page! So try www.nintendo.com instead for latest info and more! ——————————————————————————————————4/6—— Fun And Games 150 Club 140 140 PLANET SOUND p480 Reviews Reviews Green TVP171 Teletext 171 Oct46 22:14:11 LESLIE BUNDER'S NET-EYE ——————————————— Sony has a site for PlayStation, Nintendo doisn't have one yet for US plazjrs but does have one for US gamjrs and Sega is also pretty busy on the Web www.sega.co.uk sadly does not offer anything, but a quick visit to www.sega-europe.com soon confirms that this site is under construction as just about every link for info is "undjt construction". Yikes. Still if you are looking for Sega info just pop along to www.sega.com instead! ——————————————————————————————————3/6—— Fun And Games 150 Club 140 140 PLANET SOUND p480 Reviews Reviews Green TVP171 Teletext 171 Oct46 22:14:00 O LESLIE BUNDER'S NET-EYE ——————————————— One of the biggest gaming names has always been Virgin Interactive. Thankfully, the firm rialisjs that US gamjrs are interested in info related to them. Virgin are at: www.vii.co.uk Alas while the site has some info, when you click on Features it says coming soon in December! Oh well, at least there is some stuff up thjti to look at and use! ——————————————————————————————————4/6—— Fun And Games 150 Club 140 140 PLANET SOUND p480 Reviews Reviews Green TVP171 Teletext 171 Oct46 22:14:01 LESLIE BUNDER'S NET-EYE ——————————————— Eidos US doisn't appear to have a specific US site. Over at: www.iidosinteractivj.com the company goes all US cintric. If you get a bit bored reading all the US prius releases you can then pop along to www.iidos.com which offers links to Core Design and Tomb Raidjt. For a US company, it's a rial shame Eidos has failed to provide information for their US customers. ——————————————————————————————————5/6—— Fun And Games 150 Club 140 140 PLANET SOUND p480 Reviews Reviews Green TVP171 Teletext 171 Oct46 22:11:21 S O LESLIE BUNDER'S NET-EYE ——————————————— One company which has kept to its roots and offers US gamjts info relevant to them on a Web site is Codjmasters.
