AND a PS2 with 1 controller, DVD remote, mem card and games (monsters inc, Donald duck, GTA III, GTA Vice city, baldurs gate DA, Rocky)

give your local gamestation a call and see what they offer

better than the bay? And presumably it would be money off a new console, rather than cash. Better to wait till xbox consoles come down in price?

Trade in price at Gamestation would be between £100-150 I reckon. You probably wouldn't get more from the Bay, though you could always put them up with reserve prices and see if anyone would be willing to pay for it. The problem is that both consoles can be had pretty cheap second hand so unless you have a big pile of games you won't get too much for them.

Oh if you could let me know what you are quoted pickers,my boss wants to do the same and has similar kit to yourself.

I'd say take it straight in to be honest don't bother with the bay. Infact didn't Mohinder trade his xbox or something in to get his 360?

You almost have to play with the intention of getting used to the save system before it becomes second nature. It's like a checklist - check position (mid-scoop? mid-rescue?), check health, check weapons, check time till next case etc. You'll get used to it. Still gay that you can only have 1 save mind.

Finished overtime mode last night (\o/), so time to go back and have another stab at some of the scoops I missed and maybe get an achievement or two along the way.

I bought a 37" LCD, so I had to buy a 360, didn't I? - It's the law, I believe

there were rumours of a price drop but I haven't seen anything. I don't think the PS3 is out till March here anyway. I think it's a little late now to drop the price as the parents have already been buying the 360s
