It's on my 'to buy' list :wink:

on another note, my Component Cable turned up today for the Wii. Bought a cheapy on Ebay and have to say its great. Played a little Xenoblade Chronicles and it looks even more amazing!


While it doesn't turn the Wii into a HD console, component cables do make everything look as sharp and impressive as the technology allows. I've been using component cables for about a year and if I ever try using SCART again (usually when I've taken it to a friend's house) then the drop in quality is totally noticable.

Recent pick-ups which I have been very pleased about, especially as a load of them were from using the credit at Game. :D

Mario Sunshine on GC. Felt the desire to play it again, loved the colours in it, and the environments, definately my favourite 3D Mario

What you going to actually wear it!! ;)


Of course! I'm wearing it right now and I'm off to the pub...I'm really into buying white t-shirts at the minute anyhow.


Ha ha you're much better behaved than me, I'm going to stick it in a box and never look at it again ;)

PS Vita (preowned from game) £200 using credit so it really only cost me about £100 or less based on the value of the games I traded in for it.

Uncharted for PS Vita (£22 on ebay)

32gb ps vita memory card (coming from hong kong) so as soon as that arrives in approx two weeks I can actually play the Uncharted game on it

Bought Mass Effect 3 for twenty quid.I did not buy it new as I specifically wanted to stick two fingers up to EA.

As far as I'm concerned that Company has lost me as a new purchaser. The last EA game I bought new was Star Wars: The Old Republic. Day 1 release.
