im not sure if i should get the GAME deal, because it was offered pre-price cut, so maybe an even better deal will be offered in a couple of days? iono :S how often does GAME publish new deals?

The GAME deal is valid until tomorrow and it's awesome. doubt you'd get anything better.

60GB 360 + Kung Fu Panda + Lego star wars + Gears of war 2/fable 2 + a game off my list for $399.

and not sure what asterix means (maybe limited copies)

Yeah, that deal is killer, seeing as most places have it for 499 or so still.

I rewarded myself for finishing the HSC by buying an Xbox 360 the other week.
Games i got:
GTA 4
Assassin's Creed
FIFA 09
Halo 3
Call of Duty 3
Ghost Recon 1
Rainbow Six: Las Vegas
Splinter Cell: Double Agent

Last three were in a box set for the price of one, so i figured what the hey.

Nice, though you should trade in assassin's creed and cod 3 for either Cod4 or 5, Fallout 3, fable 2 or gears of war 2.

Personally i got fallout 3, always loved the post nuclear war setting.

Btw anyone having problems logging in on live?

You kidding? Assassin's Creed is honestly the best game i got out of the lot of them. I'm loving it.
But i can understand trading in Call of Duty. I was getting bored of it before i even finished. Reminded me too much of Medal of Honour Frontline, only with more driving.

Wow, that an expensive 'reward' moll. Nice choice of games. No GoW though?

I did the same thing - but only with 3 games. Definitely worth it.


I <3 my 360
I had a lot of spare cash in the bank that i'd been saving for a car. Truth be told, i didn't buy the console, my parents did as an early 18th, but the games cost me about $450.
:D

1) take a photo of yourself holding the 360 box
2) scan of your receipt
3) select a game from the list

no catch, really.

Put it to the test with a bunch of little brother's friends tonight, and its pretty awesome. Drums were a bit weird, but seeing as I'm shit at it, the other person who knew how to play it was consistently getting 90%+ in band songs so I'm guessing its quite good if you know how to play :)

And how is WAW? Too many games coming out right now so that'll probably be one of the latter games, but I hear its pretty good for a treyarch CoD.

I didn't realise fallout 3 was on console platforms. And here's me comtemplating shelling out $1500 for a new PC.

Is it different/worse than the pc version in any sense?

the pc version is buggy as all hell, but if you prefer to play fps on pc then there ya go. just get it on a console, 360 if ya can because it's said to play better compared to the ps3 and has exclusive downloadable content.

asy, waw is good clean fun. granted, it's the exact same thing as cod 4 with shitty guns. i don't think i've never played any of the treyarch cod games so i can't really comment on that. the graphics are top notch and coops been pretty decent and problem free (barring a bit of slowdown here and there). i'm a sucker for good or even plausible dialogue and story however, hence why i can't stand gears. bout halfway thru the story and i don't care for any of the characters at all. and vehicle sections in any fps game are a fucking snore. haven't touched on multiplayer, but it's looking decent because it's got more perks and such.

mirror's edge is a rent, i've been hearing you can clock it in 6 hours or so. that being said i'm getting it off ea for free, might take a month or so though to get it. waiting on my damn copy of dead space to get here.

i guess the advantage of fallout 3 on pc is the potential for user-made mods, and maybe better controls considering it's an rpg. other than that, it wouldnt be worse in any sense. could be better in other senses?
