Prediction entries must be in and finalized by 4 p.m. EST on Friday, November 9th.
Now extended until Wednesday for this month only.
Format use is now required if you want your entry counted. We've had some problems with non-formatted posts accidentally overwriting the previous intended predictions, so we've now gone exclusively to using the parser format for prediction entries. As suggested, the thread is earlier this month than previously so as to allow more discussion of the predictions themselves.
Format:
[360]
[GBA]
[NDS]
[PS2]
[PS3]
[PSP]
[WII]
Examples:
The Official Software Prediction thread is here, but if you want to predict for games outside of that list, put them in quote tags or else they may be picked up as hardware predictions. Also, you can put comments on the same line spaced after the number for the hardware predictions.
