you bought one and waiting for it to arrive?

Mine was manu'd in August I think, no problems with it for the 10 mins I tested it

Game advice required people!!!

Just seen video reviews of Saints Row and Dead Rising. Both look cool, especially liked Dead Rising when you got a drilling machine and picked up a zombie on the end

Saints Row has been the more fun game for me out of the two, purely because of DR's save system. That's not to say it isnt most amusing of course, it can just sometimes be difficult to maintain progress

Either that or I need to spend some more time looking for bogs.

I love both games, and I've spent quite a bit of time on both of them. Dead Rising's save system is weird, though when you get used to it, it stops becoming an annoyance and starts adding to the atmosphere (you're in a zombie infested mall after all, it's not meant to be easy ).

I personally would recommend getting both
