PlanetCricket Ashes Cricket 2009 Q&A

[barmyarmy]

It was more the cost of accommodation in Birmingham that scared me.

 

[MattW]

I hope you guys could bring some trailers or screens from there.

I'm sure they will be part of the next CricketGaming exclusive.

On a teacher's salary??? I thought it would be at least the Hilton

On a teacher's salary??

You can't even guess how much Colin earn via his teaching.

Just a small question, do they have any HQ in Australia?

 

[barmyarmy]

Well rather you guess you can simply use the internet seeing as public sector salary scales are published...
In response to your small question no they don't. Atari distribute in Australia.

 

[Hitterman]

Atari distribute in Australia.

Then they must also be giving demos of Ashes Cricket. Is it true?

 

[MattW]

You can't even guess how much Colin earn via his teaching.

It is public knowledge what a teacher like Colin gets. Mostly depends on how many years he has been teaching. Likely he earns around ?30,000 a year.

Idiot lol. Such a suck up.

Let's all discuss Colin's salary instead and how he is coping in a recession

 

[iridescentt]

Haven't heard of anything here as of yet about demo's in Australia.

At the risk of going even further off topic I'm only point 1 on the salary scale and don't work full time so it's actually less than 20k.

 

[rlfan82]

Yeah point 1 is a bit cack like, I'm on point 4 now at it makes a massive difference, only just on 25k before tax now - not bad but still a way to go before 30k!



Anyway, back on topic - whens this invite day happening?

There's a pinned thread with the details. Monday 22nd is the date.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Colin, you'll have to find out if they are using motion plus for this game on wii. Otherwise I think it will be poor.

Are you going to get copies of the game before it comes out like last time?

PS. Noticed on one of the linkbacks that there's another group going along with you to the hands on?

I can tell you right now that they are not.

I wish I had of gone to the testing thing that Transmission did in Melbourne a while back...
