This is one of those times I wish I had one of those Men In Black memory wipers so I could replay ME2 fresh

Got it for 50 in smyths, was absolutely sickned to see them selling the xbox version for a 10. Need to clean up my hard drive for that 6 gig install.

Picked it up in Gamestop. RRP is €49.99 but I traded in Assasins Creed: Brotherhood, Enslaved and Red Faction Guerilla and got it for a fiver.

Played about an hour so far and it seems fun.

You got 45 euro for Brotherhood, Enslaved and RF Guerilla? :eek: Thats just wrong. I knew Gamestop were getting bad with trade-in value but my God, thats awful. I find HMV does the best trade-in value these days.

Anyway, enjoy the game man, can't wait to get my hands on it.

Lucky, that sounds crap alright xbox for tenner! Fair play to Bioware making the most outta ME2.

Loyalty question.

I heard you have to keep everyone loyal for the ending mission. What happens if you fail a loyalty mission and they become dis-loyal. Anyway to get em back. Does it affect the ending that much? As little spoilers as possible please.

That question cannot be answered without spoiling vital parts of the game. Let's just say - Loyalty Good.

Well RF is pretty old at this stage and I think I only paid a tenner for it about six months ago so I didn't expect much more. I got Enslaved as an Xmas pressie and I would have thought it would have fetched more than €9 but I think I heard somewhere that Gamestop or somebody else were selling it for €15 second hand so I was never going to get too much. And I thought €32 was pretty good for Brotherhood as it cost me €45 on release day in November and I sunk about 30 hours into it.

So not great over all but far from abysmal.

aaahhhhh, the other 2 brought it down then. Still crappy to trade in 3 games and still have to back it a fiver. I was looking through my games to trade in for this and rang a few places checking. 5 euro here, 6 euro there. I honestly might as well hold onto em for that price. I was actually offered 1 cent yes 1 f*cking cent for Resident Evil: Dark Chronicles for the wii at 1 Gamestop. Even the girl behind the counter was embarrassed.

EDIT: Gamestop Facebook just announced they are selling ME 2 for xbox for 6 euro. Kick in the balls for PS3 owners haha

It is part of the main game. Just start a new game and it will automatically start at the appropriate time after 10-15 minutes of gameplay.

Do you need to download the Cerberus pack first before the comic will play?

Lads, would it be very nerdy getting a Mass Effect Hoody?

I quite like it... You could get away with it as long as it doesn't have any mass effect logos. The majority of people won't know what N7 means, and the people who do get it will most likely love it too!

Zero-Cool

Including delivery to Ireland, its 78 dollars which is 57 euro. Very tempted to make a purchase!

I teamed up with one housemate to get that hoody for the other for Christmas. It's quite nice indeed. Tiny little Bioware logo on the left sleeve.

Nice, did it take long to arrive?

Sarky

Less than 2 weeks, I'm not totally sure because it arrived on Christmas eve and we were all on the other side of the country. Poor bastard didn't get it until January.

Zero-Cool

Just got my copy, good ol' HMV gave me 12 euro for Infamous. Good value seeing I paid 15 euro for it 5 months ago!

Anyway, stuck at work so won't get a chance to play till tonight!

Can anyone confirm if I have the correct contents or should I go back to HMV looking for an instruction manual?

Manuals serve one purpose.

They just need to be kept as a gateway to trading in the game.

Who reads them anyway?(unless its a sports game where there are loads of buttons and no instructions in game)

Yup, I just got safety mini manual and most importantly the cerburus network code!! I'm sure the game will tell you how to play during the opening missions.

Zero-Cool

After the huge install and then downloading the cerburus pack, I didn't get a chance to play this last night. Can anyone tell me once the pack is downloaded, does the comic just kick in during the opening sequence or do you have to go into extras and read it there 1st?

The comic will kick in automatically about 10 mins or less into the game.

I had to restart my game because I began my first play through without downloading the DLC.

Argos were selling it on Xbox for €10.

Was going to run into town today.

Just saw the sale on GameStop.

Hey its a €2 saving!

Zero-Cool

i'm reading a lot of complaints on the official forums about the game freezing on PS3. Bioware said they were investigating and replied with saying you should play the game offline. This helped some people but a lot saying the game is constantly freezing and corrupting their save file. Hope it runs smooth for me!

Shoulda got it on PC

Hahaha you goooowwll

Ah some guy said he had a 5 year old 60gb fat ps3, just like mine, and he hasn't come across one freeze in over 30 hours. Hopefully i'll be okay and will come back reporting that its waaaay better than the PC version, hopefully start a flame war!
