At Argos, you can reserve and collect :)
Damn good price for a relatively new game
MB
Sounds like a decent deal to me :)
indeed it does, but i'm off to oxford this weekend for another weekend of epic beer consumption.
/must not buy games...
Holy crap, paid full wack for this only like 3 months ago !
I've still not played PGR3 properly and I bought it with the console when it came out!
Might get this. :D

Can you get that price cash over the counter or do you have to order it online ?
If so I'll give them a hadnful of used fivers & grab myself a copy. 3 was pretty good, not played it since Forza2 though, PGR4 has bikes v Cars though doesn't it ?
I feel some excitement coming on :cool:

I've done exactly that, they didn't have one in my local store till next week though so i have reserved one in the Nuneaton store. It's reserved till close of business tomorrow, Pretty cool service i must say & Well cheap. I say all of us should get it & start it around the same time, At that price it'll make a good BD race game for all, Even Me :D
Cheers for the heads up.
Got mine reserved at local Argos even though I don't know if I'm going to get it ;D

That is an excellent service Malc, I use it all the time when I'm buying stuff from Argos.
I've used it a few times as well, it's good - May have to pick this up over the next couple of days.

I'm s'posed to be going to Nuneaton to pick up my copy but i am completly Knackered. I was up at 6am & have been flat out till around an hour ago. Filled a Jumbo Tranny with all my Sisters junk & took it to the tip, Tip runs are a right mission nowadays what with all that sorting out bollocks you have to do. Then i did a Focus estate for Jim which wasn't easy as it used to be a Taxi & has around 200k up it. The rear seats really need a wet vac but it's far to cold for that & it's going out on hire so that'll have to wait. Favour sorted it cleared the way for me to clean my Vit up after Sundays off roading.
Didn't have to pay for the van hire either which is sweet, I've a proper favour for a favour relationship with Jim :cool: Kin rare these days.
I really want this now everyone else has :( Damn peer pressure :p
I'm going to have to pass on this now :/

Just off to collect mine!

So racing at some point this weekend?
Matblack
15-02-2008, 14:46
Yep
Need to get to grips with the game a bit though, I seem to suck at Kudos points :/
I suspect that comes from choosing 4 wheel drive motors :D

Got my copy from the local Argos shop about half hour ago, It still has it's wrapper on :cool:
My first Brand new game & it cost 15 of my quids, How kin cool is that :)

Explain yourself :angry:
If you are getting grief for over spending on games by the missus then give me a crafty nudge & instead of giving you that 20 quid back I'll send you PGR4, That'll Learn her ;D
Hehehe, as you now know, it's not Sinead :p

MBI used to be a heavy MSR player back in my Dreamcast games (damn near the only game I played on the thing, other than Crazy Taxi and Silent Scope :p), my favourite cars were usually the 4WD ones. Keep at it ;)

16-02-2008, 14:16
OMG! The Ariel Atom Supercharge is an amazing car, its almost totally controllable in any situation. Just driving it on PGR4 made me check auto trader to see if I might one day be able to afford one for track days etc. :D

That available in the game or in the expansion pack?
Malc has been a very very naughty boy.
But also a legend :cool:
Justsomebloke
16-02-2008, 20:22
And of course i am being the Gentleman & waiting till you get your copy before i play mine to make it all nice & fair :)
MY ARSE !!!
Am playing it plenty & Loving it. I think it has earned me a fair few achievement points an all :D
I cannot use the Bikes though, the steering is to freaky for me when you lean over. Popping wheelys is cool though.

http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5153/flysileycz6.gif (http://imageshack.us) Got those Rep points flying up playing this :D
The secret puzzle achievements for this are awesome; one in particular. If you don't want to know what they are I can drop a couple of hints that will help. For the best one you need to at least buy the 'Best of British' car pack for (I think) 8000 kudos points. Then choose any race that has stormy weather.... ;)

18-02-2008, 13:23
really need to unwrap this at some point this week :D
LMF and I were racing multiplayer shortly after I got this and an achievement popped up when we both stacked our bikes near each other. When I looked at it, it was for something odd like "two motorcycles at a distance of 20 metres, both facing different directions and both doing 360 spins while pulling wheelies at the same time as falling off the bikes".
Was quite an odd one.
I can't wait to get the showjumping one; 8 cars in the air at the same time! Any takers?!
Matblack
18-02-2008, 16:42
We really NEED to start some team games :D

I'll be around for the next 30 days at least as Hilly gave me a 30 day voucher :cool:
My favourite car so far is the Evo, it just drives & handles perfectly for me. I'll never pass the bike ones though as i cannot get on with them At all, I'm so bad on them & it feels so wrong I won't even be trying them again ;D
My Evo rocks though & feels Superb, I've bought loads of other cars but nothing feels like the Evo to me.
I have to say it's a little Tame compared to Forza2 & overall i do much prefer Forza2.
The arcade style of PGR4 suits us all though & at that price we can all own it & enjoy racing each other which is Brilliant. Cya on Track :cool:
I've got a "Sorry, you were out" card in the post today which means I can pick this up from the post office in the morning :D
I'll shall be PGR4'd up tomorrow night :cool:

If you can catch me ;) ;D
This is gonna be funny :D
Matblack
18-02-2008, 21:59
Oh we can catch you :D
The bikes are fine but in the corners and over about 150 you're asphalt mince, particularly if we're in the Atom ;)
MB
As I've had this since day 1 I should be amazing. As I haven't played this in months I aren't :D I'm up for some games some time though. I've always been a huge fan of PGR as its just like playing Initial D.
Going to collect it this morning. All I have to do is persuade them that my real name does actually match the one on the card......."Dude" ;D
I got it....turns out it was addressed to Desmo Dude ;D
I didn't even bother trying to explain :D
Haha!
When half the people are on motorbikes, the Elimination rounds take on a whole new meaning!
Got one of the secret achievements completely by accident yesterday. w00t! So far I'm loving the Joss supercar and the Mercedes CLK-GTR. Unfortunately, after a few races with those you're spoiled and suddenly you find yourself surprised when your Lamborghini Concept won't brake at the last second in the wet. Crunch!

;D;D;D I was hoping the posty man would Force an explanation out of you.
Through my career i was Forced onto a bike in a Head to Head :( I had a different view this time & just had the clocks in front of me & I can now use the bikes & i actually Won :cool:
PGR4 seems to throw me achievement points all the time for god knows what but I'm not moaning I've gotten around 300 since getting it.
Same as Belmit with me liking the fast cars & then getting shoved back in some no brake ****ter for my next 3 races :angry:
What is funny though is when you are having a career race against Ai & some Biker takes 1st off you, Yer ok mate & just Slam him into a Wall ;D;D
Good fun game though.
omg, paydays rolled around again... the temptation for this is intense... some more points could be easily picked up...
wasn't massively impressed with the demo though - couldn't quite get to grips with it after playing forza for so long :/
time to check play.com for a few games :o
So are people about tonight? I can play from 6.30 - 8pm. Is it easy to join in a game or do we have to faf about with invites like COD?
leowyatt
19-02-2008, 17:22

If it's like 3 then you can just join through the Friends list or You can invite people onto the server you host. Not been online with it yet but will tonight.
Should be great fun I'll dig my headshot out for some Abuse ;D

With so many people getting this I may pick it up at the weekend, though I wasn't overly keen on the demo. I guess if I don't like it I can always trade it back in towards something else :)
Justsomebloke
19-02-2008, 19:22
Well it's not as good a driving game as Forza2 but for that price i just got it to have fun with the BD crowd. It's proper pick up & play arcade road racing but i think the fun will come from us all having it & being on Live. For 15 quid though brand new what the hey, keep it a couple of months wait till the price goes back up & get 15 quid back trade in :D
Going to have to pick this up now, might try and see if I can pop into town tomorrow lunchtime.
Not happy with MB and Belmit calling me Gay :(
Just as they come online to play I had to start making the dinner. It's not my fault :p
What did you have? Sausage?
:D
That was immensely fun. For my first lap I couldn't stop laughing as some guy kept ploughing his bike into the barriers. Then we tried the Nürburgring two-on-two against a couple of guys... who quit after the first two corners. Me and MB got the 1-2 achievement for our team placing first and second. ;D
Chicken in some kind of sauce and rice actually. I had SAUSAGE caserole for lunch today :D
I should be OK for some (Sausage) action tomorrow night. Not cooking the dinner again and missing out :p
Sorry, I have ballet practice tomorrow.
But seriously, I was in hysterics and really enjoyed it. One of the best online games I've played so far, and I've played like, three, man! Will definitely be around to take some punishment tomorrow, in my Tossco Value Supercar. :)

Well i am Sulking :'(
Went on Live, See Desmo Dude, Tapped in my 30 day code & got Blanked the ***** :angry: Recognised that it was a 30 day voucher but Blanked me & gave me code 8016aba5 which is the same code i got when i had the same thing with that code the feeksta gave me.
Kicked me right in the sacks it did, There's me with Desmodude on voice chat both with PGR4 loaded & I couldn't play :****er: So the bruises in my sacks will make me get my quids out tomorrow & get a 1 year Live sub, **** it I am going for it.
Am well looking forward to hooking up for some communal gaming via BD & Live.
*warning*
Don't have me on Loud speakers if there are children about or at least let me know you are on speakers then i will try my best to not be the Foul mouth scum bag English version of Dougy. I like my Banter whilst i game & expect it back.
RAMMMMMMMING SPEEEEEEEEEED :evil: + :feek:
Do you get the same message if you enter the code on xbox.com Malc? :)

Don't buy it over xbox live or they will keep charging you year after year. You're best to buy a 1 year sub from a shop or such like dude.

Seems to have gone through ok & I think i now know what the problem was with this one & Feeks one. That error code when i chased it up last time related to not have all my details. I checked & double checked my personal details & profile & re did them a few times as well. When you Redeem a code via .com it Automatically took me through to boxes to be filled out & then just clicked through sweet. Well I've not checked it yet but it says Welcome bla bla.
Cool Cheers Dude, I had thought of trying it but couldn't be arsed to be quite honest, Thanks for the Shove.
Ooo, that's handy Malc, does that mean that mine will give you another 30 days now? That'd be good.
I should be about tonight, this needs participation..

20-02-2008, 12:46
Yes it does mean that your one will work but unfortunately i cannot find the scrap of paper i wrote it on :D
Do you still have it written down ?
I am OK for 30 days though :cool:

Just entered the code thinking i would be able to cancel before i redeemed & it went straight through, Don't know whether I have 1 month or 2 now :huh:
I hope i haven't wasted a code :confused:
I think that when you extend your current gold access, it only shows the last code entered and the details for the last code. I remembered reading from a guy who had 6 months left and then added an extra month from a code he had. It only showed that last code details and he thought he'd lost the 6 months he already had in credit. It was fine though.
For the longest time I was on a 1 month gold sub according to the dashboard, but Des is right, it's just your last code entered. If you drill down the subscription end date will still be right :)
Justsomebloke
20-02-2008, 13:24
Well i am Gold for the next 30 days whatever happens so I'll worry about it after that :)
Wooohooooo for Live. I'll walk me dog & have another shower & try to shake myself back to nromal before this evenings fun :cool:
