Which Console? - Page 20

Going to be a very long time before I'm good enough to do the accuracy challenges. I lucked out first time in a race and got 1st place, and it took about 25 attempts to get a time challenge.

No luck finding a copy at a sensible price yet - will keep looking.

Worth a punt? (Never used that seller before)

Nokkon is in love with shopto if that's any help

I'm not

They keep making my wallet empty

That's happening to me too. Fast approaching £300 already (console included, obviously).

I'd rather not add up what I've spent over the past 2 years

Not including non 360 related gaming stuff over the past 20 years!

Just as long as every month isn't like this, I'm sure it'll all be fine.

Anything I should hunt down in Zavvi at the weekend? May as well see if there's anything in their sale before they cease to be (assuming no-one buys them, which in the current climate is the most likely option).

Edit - I should also make it absolutely clear that while I was wrecking countless Ferraris on TDU demo last night, I had nothing whatsoever to do with this particular Ferrari...

Spotted Kameo in the preowned section at Game. £7.99. Difficult to go wrong at that price (not far off rental). Haven't inspected the disc yet but I'm sure it'll be OK. It's a game I liked the look of when I first saw Xbox360 in the shops and now I get to play it.

They had TDU in the 2 for £30 preowned sale too but I couldn't think of anything else I wanted that was also in the sale so I passed.

Edit - I didn't want to pollute the Games Night thread, but I'm not averse to a bit of online play if a suitable game happens by (I consider that unlikely, but you never know). Beware friendly fire incidents though - I'm as likely to miss a comrade as I am an enemy.

My PC habit has filled this house with computer-related kit in almost every room. I don't need a Console habit as well.
