i just checked their website , they only ship to UK and the Isle of Man. Are they planning to update their country list ?

[Al]

They are planning to open in the States so I'd hope so. That is a question I'll ask them tomorrow. Anybody for question #2.

Is there a beer limit at the Gizoo Launch party?

That's my new first question :).

[Johan]

I'd be interested to know how they thought of the funny word "Gizoo". Sounds French. Maybe short for Gigantic Zoo or Gigabyte Zoo. Not immediately apparent what the connection with gadgets is, besides the first letter.

[Al]

Either a mistype of gizmo, or gizmo was already taken I reckon :)

A birdy told me you would try to make them donate some more prizes...
True or just an urban legend?

[Johan]

Woohoo I won the Powerball competition! :D

[Tiago]

Some photos of the party would be a pretty good idea for the next post..

[Johan]

Yes, that would aid in recollection of the night... Damn champagne got me by surprise :)

[Al]

I've just got up (12.10pm here :)) and am downloading pics now, my camera seemed to get more shaky as the night went on, no idea why.

I got to play on a XBox 360 - some racing game. It didn't go very well. I couldn't get it out of reverse gear so I actually drove backwards for the first 5 minutes until I figured out how to change gear up. Luckily I was racing someone who wasn't a gamer either.

I then regained my pride by winning the Powerball competition, beating Al by a whopping 300 RPM.

Lost my pride again playing shocker roulette with the PR girls. Whilst I wouldn't say it actually hurts, it does make you pull funny faces so I got a few laughs out fo them.

Yes, now you mention it, that was it. They had brought a massive Plasma screen but I wasn't all that impressed with the graphics. Yeah, looked good but not that amazing to be honest.
