Xbox 360 DRM Tool
Finally the issue of Xbox 360 owners being stuffed by DRM issues when they replace their console for whatever reason is no more. Microsoft came in for a lot of stick over their draconian DRM solution and rightly so. The problem being that once a gamer replaced their console or had it replaced under warranty, the games and content they had bought would only work while they were online and logged in with the gamertag that purchased it.
The Content License Transfer Tool announced last month is now available to use right here. If your console is replaced by Microsoft your licences should already be transferred for you and it should be noted that you can only use this tool once every 12 months, so you can't use it to constantly move content between consoles.

Unanswered Questions
Gameov3r has been looking at the results of some recent market research carried out by Experian Consumer Research. The results of which I have no doubt will have you on the edge of your seat. Here are some extracts from the data.
More PS3 owners said that their friends were more important to them than their family... Xbox 360 owners like to recycle packaging more... PS3 owners find home decor more interesting than Xbox owners and more PS3 owners prefer antique shopping than Xbox owners.
The answers to these and many more of lifes most important questions can be found on their website. One question we couldn't find the answer to is why they asked these questions in the first place.

Forum Down
We seem to be experiencing major problems with our forum today, the dreaded 'nodes' error message has returned. We're trying to reach support but their website appears to be down also at the moment.
Hopefully we'll be back up and running shortly. Thanks for being patient.
Visit the Gameov3r FORUM today (if it's working). According to the hosts it has a 99.9% up time... who are they kidding?

Play Zone
Gameov3r brings fantastic news today. Excitement like this hasn't been seen in these cellars since Cadbury brought back the Whisper bar. We were going to try and drag it out a bit longer but this needs to be heard... wait for it...
Ubisoft are launching a new Wii exclusive party games label! It'll be called 'Play Zone' and the first title will be called Sports Party featuring basketball, badminton, mini golf, croquet and much much more. It all sounds like mini game heaven to us and with Ubisofts track record on the Wii so far what can possibly go wrong?! Everything?
Sarcasm aside at least now you won't need to examine the game packaging just in case Ubisoft had anything to do with it. We can now all safely avoid any game labelled with 'Play Zone'. Take care out there Wii gamers.

Firefox 3
According to our stats report most people access our site using the Firefox browser. So is anyone taking part in the Guiness World Record attempt for the most downloads in one day of the new version 3? If like me you may well have tried and that's exactly what you're still trying to do right now. I'm now trying from three different sites at once, two have so far refused to even start and the third is racing away at the lightning speed of around 1.5KB/sec. Happy memories of dial up connections have come flooding back and at this rate I should be running the new version by Christmas. Mozilla say their servers are currently churning out 14000 downloads a minute which is one huge amount of data. You can see the total downloads counter here.
Update: Things seem to have improved and I now have three copies :) At least I've done my bit for the record. Incidentally it claims Ad Block isn't compatible but I found these instructions here
