Don't think I'll be catching up with the experts at that though.

Sorted an avatar out. It's actually not as bad as I thought it would be, so it's a keeper.

Think it'll be a couple of weeks before I create an online profile though. I should be busy the next three weekends and god alone knows what I'll be working on.

Hurry up and get online

Want to see your avatar now

That'll still require the hard choice of a Gamertag though.

Got some ideas on that front now though, thanks all.

Even if my Gamerscore isn't going to go anywhere fast, I'm happy with my console choice. I'm just scared about the inevitable drain on my pocket that is going to happen.

Getting hold of 6300 MS points for £41 should give me a good launchpad into the Marketplace and soften the blow a little though.

ooo good price - where from?

Mark · 07-01-2009, 22:20

Woolies Newbury (2100) and Zavvi Braintree Freeport (4200).

Psymonkee · 07-01-2009, 22:35

bah

In need of every cheap point I can get

local Zavvi was very pricey last time I looked

Mark · 07-01-2009, 22:47

Was that before or after they went into administration?

Psymonkee · 07-01-2009, 23:17

To give me something else to try, I found the Test Drive Unlimited Demo on the hard disk. Garp will be pleased to know, I broke Oahu, as well as many Ferraris, some of them deliberately.

The conclusion - I need to learn to be rather more analogue. I crashed - a lot - but just occasionally I'd temporarily 'get' the thing and manage to steer without weaving all over the road like a drunkard three times over the limit. At one point I was in last place and well behind in a race, 'got it' at the right time, and hit a straight road in time to zoom past the whole lot and win.

The best bit - smacking into cop cars head on, just because.
