yeh i have xenoblade w/ red controller and LE Last Story, so the slipcase is nice for ease of access to the three games! playing xenoblade now, its amazing! so much to do and really well designed game!

It's the Xenoblade ltd edition that I'm after, shame it goes for so bloody much at the moment.

Today I spotted a copy of Another Code for the DS for a straight fiver that I just had to have as been after it for a while now.

ive bought a few bits from here and they are usually quite good, although it does say 'will usually dispatch within a month' on this one

I'll have to wait until payday as been hit with some hefty bills this month but thanks for pointing it out. I believe that I have a 10% voucher for there so can use that once I have the cash.

It is the pal box and it is a very interesting game. You play a girl with no real weapons, lots of hiding and searching from what I have seen. She does have a dog but not got that far in yet.

I got sick of it by the time I got to



A undergorund bit where its not the big guy, but the woman chasing you it also has balls that chase you and made a loud noise that makes her know where you are

So, you played for an hour or so then?

Though Hunting Ground was superb, for me was one of the PlayStation 2 games. Sadly though Michigan was better though

[Ferret Oxide]

Shadow Dancer on the Mega Drive.

[RichL]

I remember buying that on Jap import when it originally came out

at my old age, not the game.

I still think Shadow Dancer on MD is a great little game - though im sure i remember it playing differently on speccy...

Not a console related purchase today (so apologies if this is in the wrong section) but I finally got myself another Amiga 500 today off eBay). Cost me about £17 all in, it was listed as untested so I was taking a bit of a risk but it was local (Plymouth) and I kept getting outbid at the last minute on other machines I'd seen.

So I picked it up this afternoon, it was actually an Amiga 500 with printer, flight stick, a box of games and other bits. When I got it home I discovered that it included a A501 memory upgrade and it also had a memory upgrade installed (not sure what size, the chips are labelled Goldstar GM71C4256-10 and there are 4 of them on the expansion. I also found the modulator comes up in black and white when I connect the composite video out on the modulator to the TV (I remember that the composite video output on the Amiga itself is mono). The only problems are that I haven't got a copy of Workbench 1.3 (of the Extras disk) or a mouse. So I guess I'm going to be trawling eBay for a copy of Workbench, a mouse and a Scart cable now.

Oh and yesterday I managed to pick up a Component/Composite Video cable for the XBOX360/Wii and PS2/PS3 which I'm hoping will give me a slightly improved display when playing the PS2.
