Dave - thanks for the info. I'll badger Carl and see what he does (though he's probably installed Linux on his PS3!)

Firejack - Age of Conan was put in the last the database in the last batch of games, can't remember off the top of my head whether that was last week or this week, but it's in and will be added to the known game list when I next update it.

Empire: Total War I've not seen yet but will check that out this evening.

We do try and keep on top of new games as and when they come out, the only real problem is that sometimes things change during the beta phases, so we might add a game when it's in beta but on release the signature or port have changed.

If you know of new games that we haven't got then the best place to add them at first is the Internet Event Calendar forum. If you have pre-release/beta games then we can always use wireshark captures, etc. to add them in but even if you don't we can still research them and do our best to ensure they work.

We've got Mario Kart Wii coming out (tomorrow I think) and whilst I think it should work fine I can't be 100% certain simply because we haven't been able to try it, but in theory it should work.

Our aim is to turnaround requests where we can inside a week. The port/signature changes are processed once a week by the network guys, that allows us time to evaluate each request and where necessary test it on test Ellacoya platform before rolling it out on the live platform. We can also monitor the live platform afterwards to ensure that nothing untowards happens.

There are a couple of new games; Age of Conan, Empire: Total War, due out in the next few months I'm keen on buying and would very much appreciate them being added to the Traffic Management system much quicker then World in Conflict and Pirates of the Burning Sea took.

Anyway, I wasn't trying to get in to a debate about semantics - I was just pointing out something that might want minor clarification in the article!

Dave - is it possible to run wireshark on a PS3 / XBox, other than installing and using Linux? Is there something else that can be used to achieve a similar result to a wireshark capture?
