Anyone know if Gamestop are doing their upgrade thing on Lego Marvel where I can get it for the 360 tomorrow and upgrade to the X1 edition next week?

I haven't heard about them doing it for Lego Marvel.

Also the Xbox One version has been delayed till the 29th

Rjd2

Finished season 2 of Battlestar Gallactica, even though its not normally a genre I like, its absolute quality. Filing the voidly nicely since BB ended.

Hope I can get a bit of advice off ye guys as I see a bit of talk about the PS4 etc.

Not a big gamer myself but thinking of picking up the PS3. Argos have it at just under €200. (albeit for slim version and 1gb, which I gather isn't much, but I imagine should be fine for my needs) Question is, Is there any better offer than this and would you expect it to fall in price any further this side of Xmas when the PS4 finally comes out?

The 12GB isn`t great because if you get a PS3 I would highly recommend getting Playstation Plus aswell as it`d save you a bomb of money. Checking stores now and the 250GB ones now seem to be very scarce. I think you can use 3rd party hard drives with the PS3 though

Are many getting a PS4 or Xbox One this year?

I've been thinking about picking up a PS3 (I only play my brother's at our home place) but to be honest I think it's a bit foolish. Hadn't planned to but I've convinced myself to wait a bit and pick up one of the next gen. €200 (plus whatever you spend on games) is a good way towards either a PS4 or Xbox1.

I've heard people say the same about the 12gb but i'm not a big gamer, won't be playing online or anything like that so I think should be fine

Big difference between 200e and 500e!!

I know what you mean though but as I said, i'm not a big gamer so PS3 is fine for me!

I'm waiting for a while yet. By the time I got a PS3, it was the Slim model and there were 2 Uncharted games for it. I'm in no rush for another one since I ahve a huge backlog between my PS3, Wii, Wii U and PC

D.Q

Are the uncharted games good? I'm at a serious loss for games atm, bought a ps3 recently and basically just played Gta and guitar hero.

eh i dunno

The new HMV/Xtravisions are a bit meh arent they?

I've never played it, but I know Uncharted 3 seems to always be held up as THE game that defines the console....

2nd Row Donkey

Thinking of getting a Wii for my little daughter (3y.o.) ... Just for messing around with.. . to play a few of the kiddy games with her etc but what games are there for me to enjoy when she's in bed for the night.

Haven't played anything much in the last 6-7 years but when I did I enjoyed games like metal gear solid, prince of Persia etc .... Anything like that available on the Wii ... The limited selection Ive seen in stores are Disney titles, fitness based, sports orientated. What are the wrestling games like.

They're great. A little bit too scripted sometimes and some of the gunfights can be frustrating, but overall they are amazing games. A great blend of really good gameplay in terms of exploration, puzzles etc, and some amazing gaming moments. Plus the story, acting and graphics are all seriously top notch.

Yeah they're good action games though as said, very scripted in parts. My favourite games on ps3 are the Infamous games

Yeah it's like they took the hmv name but kept xtravision prices. We'll see if they have hmm sale prices after Christmas

The Mario games are good with New Super Mario Bros Wii playable by 2 players so you could play with her. Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands is really good as well. There is another Prince of Persia game on it but it's just a port of the Two Thrones with a different name. I would also suggest Okami and the Metroid Prime trilogy though they may be hard to get as well

Uncharted 2 is one of the best gaming experiences of the generation. Seriously very well made and gorgeous, highly recommend! UC1 was a bit stinky controls-wise so don't bother, and the advances made in UC2 get cumbersome in UC3. So just start with UC2. I won't spoil it but there's some scripted setpieces which are just *mwah*!

The Wii is a bit of a Mario/Zelda machine, so apart from Super Mario Galaxy (I enjoyed 1>2), New Super Mario Bros Wii and Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess/Skyward Sword, there's Rayman Origins, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Okami (quite like Zelda TP), Zack & Wiki (Puzzle Game) ...Xenoblade Chronicles (RPG). Dunno if you're into Rock Band/Guitar Hero but I've spent hundreds of hours on those. Gameplay is dodgy on WWE games in general but Wii controls make it even worse. Wii's not the most versatile console!

Cherry_Cola

Only got the PS3 about 2 months ago for TLOU and am playing my way through the 1st Uncharted now. I can see what people mean saying it feels scripted, I'll plough through it anyway. I have the other two sitting waiting to be played also.

Have a serious backlog to clear at the moment between PS3, 360 and PC and I'll be getting the PS4 soon too!

jaykhunter

They tightened up everything for the sequel so make sure to play that even if you get browned off with UC1!

eh i dunno

Lads what site would you recommend for selling tickets? Bought tickets for someone as a present but someone else also got them tickets. Not looking to make a profit on them but want to cover the cost of them. Ebay? Donedeal or adverts? Ebay seems to be looking a decent cut of any sale. Ideally want to sell via Paypal too

Haven't used it myself but I've heard of toutless.com being used

rubadub

+1 for toutless

adverts is alright too, as it also has the ability to see discussions going on.

Charisteas

Adverts is decent but if you're selling something for a set price, you can expect a first offer to be of something around 25% of your asking price.

So many chancers and time wasters on adverts nowadays, it was much better a few years back.

Cheers lads. I'll have a proper look on toutless tomorrow. Is eBay a rip off? Is it 10% commission?

Did anyone get FIFA14 for the XBoxOne? Any good?

How is the XBox one in general peeps, I have a 360 so tempted to get the XB1.

Lord TSC

Have Fifa installed but not had a chance to play it much. Voice commands are handy for making subs, but means I can now only play as teams where I can pronounce names. No more Dortmund for me :P

I actually just sat and watched Doctor Who at the Proms. Was actually pretty good. Plus more Jenna is never a bad thing.

Looking forward to this. The prequel was a nice surprise. Just hope there's a simliar surprise in tonight's episode.

Going to the cinema to see it! Have my bow tie, fez and 6ft scarf all ready to go!
Just watched the name of the doctor as a refresher for tonight!

I'm about to watch that as well. Watching tonight's at home. Thought about going to the cinema but not sure if the 3D would take away from it

I'm not a hue fan of 3D but with the past few things I've seen in 3D it feels like you're there. You're immersed in the world. If imagine being in the TARDIS will be quite cool. Recording it to watch when I get back home.

I was like this today after that Joe Allen miss

My least favourite thing in the world is when casuals come out of the woodwork for big sporting events on FB/Twitter with ****e like "didn't deserve to lose" and "AllBlacks are just great" etc. No analysis (cuz they're casuals) and no specific opinions (cuz they're casuals). Why bother?


I was there mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

The worst was Katie Taylor at the Olympics, she must have had the most amount of fans who don't even know the rules of boxing. Hypocritical, but I guess people enjoy being a part of the latest water cooler topics of conversation and banter, it's human behaviour.

Personally, if it's not wrestling, soccer or women, I usually keep my big mouth shut
