I picked up crysis 2 for a tenner last week, only just started it. Its really good

specially for a tenner. Looks amazing, and the suit powers work really well.

It's never failed me when anything has claimed UK only shipping. Just pretend Wicklow is in the North, the Brits can't tell the difference, but the Nordies just go "ffs, another package meant to go to the republic" and forward it on with a black marker through the postcode.

Cheers man, my deliver address of "Blah, Blah, Mallow, Co. Cork, Northern Ireland, BT11AA" was happily accepted. :pac:

Just hope they accept the payment now... for some reason there're two orders on my account, one that says "Preordered", one that says "Verify", so I'm cancelling the "Verify" one and hoping for the best.

134e but well worth it... shed load of included DLC, a class Max Payne Statue, a bullet shaped keychain and some artwork.

I normally never buy special editions, but I'm making an exception this year. Getting this, the Mass Effect 3 N7 Edition, and maybe the Assassin's Creed 3 special depending on what's in it.

Well, I don't mean to burst your bubble, but GamePlay are selling it for €119.96 at current exchanges rates :pac:

Yerra, for the sake of 14 quid i won't lose much sleep. I'll just hold out some hope that play will drop the price between here and March.

One thing that worries me is that it's R* making the game... not Remedy... so it could be a sh*te game... let's hope they keep the feel of the other ones.

PSvita is one sexy piece of kit... I've never had a handheld console (well apart from my brother's Game Boy) but I'm seriously thinking of getting it eventually (when it comes down in price a bit)

cloud493 · 15-01-2012 9:17pm

I know

250e for the console, 40 for a game, 40 for a memory card, sorted. Can't wait

It doesn't come with a memory card of any description as standard, or are you just getting a higher-capacity one?

My laptop has a determination never to use the euro symbol, or fadas.

(And I've followed many guides for the fadas and it still won't work. :P)

Just got Forza 4, now I have to make a final decision, do I draw a line under my gamertag with 14000G and go back to the one with 355G so I can go online... or do I plug away...

Goo into language/keyboard settings and change your keyboard to European Irish/International

It has a sort of built in memory for games. But some games will require a separate memory card, including uncharted, so its well worth it.

Did that about four months ago, still doesn't work. :P

What's a good site to buy some used games? Something a little more trustworthy than ebay... there're some 360 games from around the time of the launch/early life of the console that I'd love to get copies of, but Gamestop don't have them.

Amazon/Cex.

wnolan1992 · 16-01-2012 3:23am

Ugh, play rejected my Laser card, even though it said they had pre-ordered the thing for me... so I've switched my card to my O2 Money card (which currently has no money on it, but I hope to christ AIB are quick to transfer the money across) and it's still giving a warning saying "Your Account has been declined".... I hope this thing goes through once the money is put on my card 'cos I can't order this anywhere else now seeing as it's the 16th...

wnolan1992 · 16-01-2012 3:41pm

Oh my fu*king lord. You can't transfer save files between gamertags?!!? For Christ sake.

I bought call of dty 4 from xtravision on my way home from school, best modern warfare this

Started the first dead space last night as well, not at all bad looking for a 4 year old game.

That was my favorite game ever on the xbox! I keep wanting to play it again but the disc is long lost and I never see it anywhere

cloud493 · 09-02-2012 10:17pm

I wish

no, demo unit. Manager was very helpful though, might go into that shop and buy my games/memory card for it on launch day. And they're his shoes

Unless it's the picture quality at fault (which seems plausible :P), the graphics aren't as impressive as I was led to believe? Are they (much) better than what the picture portrays?

DoBhrionn · 10-02-2012 8:47pm

That picture doesn't do the graphics justice (no offence), I'm ordering it next week.

cloud493 · 10-02-2012 9:07pm

I know, I was just so excited to hold it in my hands, had to take a photo

Already paid 50 quid on a deposit for it in HMV.

Easy enough, couple of real awkward ones/

Tryed it in town the other day, nice little yoke. Far from a Day 1 purchase for me though.

I understand the tech is great, but I can't justify buying a console with no games and mega expensive memory cards. Maybe six months in, if it establishes itself a bit.

Need quite a few more games before I'm sold on it. The memory cards is also an issue, i'd rather wait till someone else gets the rights to produce them aswell. Also, I'm quite interested in the sytem being "manipulated". Possibly allowing to play PS1/PS2 games and some other systems. Sure only time will tell.

cloud493 · 20-02-2012 6:32pm

Uncharted, wipeout, lumines, rayman origins, marvel vs capcom, launch day? Plus resistance in May, and tons of stuff for this year

Have the 3 Uncharteds. Not so pushed on a portable filler.
Wipeout on the PS3 aswell.
Likewise for Rayman and MvsC

Surely it will be an excellent machine, just no real incentive to buy it straight up. I'll wait, bide my time then possibly get it.

We're not all rolling in dosh Cloud :rolleyes: :P

cloud493 · 20-02-2012 8:49pm

This is my birthday present! :rolleyes:

plus, to be honest, Uncharted alone pushes me to buy it for launch. Love those games

marko93 · 20-02-2012 8:53pm

300 quid to play a game. No thanks :P

cloud493 · 20-02-2012 8:59pm

Wellllll

Console + uncharted + memory is 270(Say base price, I'm getting more stuff)
270 - 27 for staff discount = 247 :d

For me that certainly does not warrant a day one purchase. Couldnt ever justify spending that much for one game.

cloud493 · 20-02-2012 9:10pm

Well I'm getting other games :rolleyes: Resistance is out before E3. It can play most of my downloaded PSP games, and my PS1 games, and Sony will undoubtedly have a load of stuff to show at E3 for it.

Oh no doubt there will be more games, I'm only saying I could never justify a day one purchase.

That and the fact by Christmas it will be somewhere between 40 and 60 euro cheaper, and the console _may_ be bolstered by then.
