Can everyone keep an eye out for a good price for this on 360 for me please?
I'm keeping an eye on the usual places and hotukdeals but cheapest I can find is £37 which just feels a bit too much for Christmas at the moment So might wait till the sales in case it's cheaper.

a) I've only got a laptop these days that would be awkward to play on and b) I don't want to

Also I'm assuming it's not got cross platform multiplayer, in which case it's useless for me!

Thanks Might hold out for less than £30 though. Managed to completely forget about ebay so have to keep an eye out for second hand there too.

Fair enough, no it's not cross platform, PC players would dominate if it was

It's a shame the 360 has to miss out on some fantastic looking content though, it's one area consoles really need to find a way to catch up in.

From what I read Epic did a good job with mods to UT3 on PS3, not experienced it myself though.

I'm with you Jen, waiting to spot it below £30.

You trying to provoke yet another PC vs Console debate? If so, I don't bait that easily

Ignoring your first comment I do agree with the 2nd. I don't see any feasible way they can incorporate it though, short of all mods being sent to the developers and they then find a way to send it down to the console gamers.I guess it would be done, but I'm not sure how many developers would bother. I'm sure they love the fact they can just let PC gamers loose with it and they don't have to do a thing.

You're assuming she a) Wants it on PC b) doesn't care about playing with all the people she likes here.

PC gamers recommend PC games for the mod scene, but how often can someone genuinely say that a mod has been made for a game on both formats that massively benefits the game? The overhaul packs for Oblivion and Half-Life 2 come to mind, but the former was released over a year after the console version anyway, by that time the majority of people have moved on.
