Its sound bad mate but claim you never got the thing in the first place, it will be easier than trying to convince customer service that the disc is missing

Wonder how meny "sealed" games people have on there shelf's that have no proper disc in them?

Play know this is an issue though.



Just phoned their Customer Service team. The very polite lady on the other end stated this is a known issue, and that they will be sending another copy no questions asked. Can't say fairer than that

People who play music obnoxiously loud under the impression that it somehow makes it better. Needless to say this also goes for pretty much every nightclub I've had the misfortune to suffer.

^ Never really got the appeal of clubs, to be honest. Much prefer a cosy pub.

Spending ages washing/cleaning the car then waking up the next morning to find bird sh!t all over it :evil: . That and bits of crap off nearby trees getting stuck all over the body work.

I have got round this by not cleaning the car. Its a very simple solution.

Now there's a coincidence, I was just listening to the podcast at lunchtime and thinking its been ages since you'd been around.

It had been mentioned earlier in the thread that some celebs will appear on telly and perhaps say things that aren't entirely accurate, so I had some light mickey taking on your behalf. Having said that, you pretty much admit this in said podcast when you recant your tale of Max Payne and the subsequent fallout.

Out of curiosity, did you ever play Max Payne 2 since you like the new installment so much?

When moderators lock threads without having the common courtesy to say why.

^ I can explain that, and I think it should happen more often. When there's a poll in respect to the magazine, when the deadline has passed and the article written/submitted, any thread started on the forum such as this should be locked so everyone knows its purpose has been achieved. They do this on a few other magazine forums and it stops old topics being pointlessly bumped.

Yep, I understand that. As indicated in my post above, my minor annoyance was more to do with the moderator concerned not having at least posted a 'thank you' of any kind before locking the thread. Good manners cost nothing after all.
