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

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.

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

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. :-)
