It's written in your public profile you nipple.

So, anyone got a wildcard pinata yet? (It's a random chance event where a pinata is created that looks slightly different to the standard pinata type, it has a base value 10 times the norm for that pinata).

Virgin do student discounts instore, as it said so on the labels of the bundles when I was pricing 360's up before I got one. I got mine from Gamestation instore, PGR3 (that I gave to my brother for Xmas as I didn't want it), GoW (Special Edition or whatever it is), Viva Pinata and an extra wireless pad for £320.

For those yet to get Gears of War and are planning to, or for those who haven't played it in Co-op, I highly suggest you do. It's so much more fun. I played through to the end boss at first (only on casual) by myself, but was having a bit of trouble with him. My computer controlled buddy just kept doing little suicide runs and being useless. My brother came over yesterday and we did it second go. (My brother was a bit of a fool and died the first time, but it was Xmas so I let it go). Also, having moved up to the next difficulty level I'm only playing it co-op now (played tonight with Haver), I think it's easier than it was on Casual having a human team mate. Away from GoW, Viva Pinata is still excellent. I'd left it for a while, but got back in to it last couple of days having only just bothered to set up another couple of gardens, makes it so much easier being able to set aside certain gardens for water pinata and stuff like that.

How far did you get with him before you realised your mistake?

You and who mate?

Yeah I'll play, my guess is a bit later on in the evening will be better for most folks.

Has there been some big RE Xmas day gaming session organised on GoW or something? If not, why not?

Chill out. I get married next weekend.

My mum's going to work on Xmas day. Selfish bitch.

Oh shush, you're making me feel bad.

Play.com have a sale on, PES6 £25 if anyone's interested, I'm tempted. Lots more to choose from too... http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/3-/2418/2-/MicroSite.html?site=januarysale&page=promo

In the last one I tried having clipped a lamp post while riding a motorbike the bike (with me on it) got sort of dragged up to the top of the lamppost. I think that was about third GTA game I'd given a go. Never played one for more than about 30 mins at a time because I've always been put off by some sort of crash or strange event like the lampost one.

Before this escalates I'd suggest everyone goes and watches Matthew Broderick in War Games... No actually go and watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off, it's great.

Haven't set it up yet, been out at the theatre tonight (I was feeling posh), so will give it all a go tomorrow.

Yes and one Gamecube game to play on it. I think I can hold off a while to be honest.

A year late, but I jumped in today. I think I've just about escaped the terrible claws of WoW and am ready to move on. Got myself a 360, PG3 with extra wireless pad, GoW and Viva Pinata for £320 altogether, seemed like a pretty good deal.

And what may I ask happened to you seeing sense and realising they're a pointless waste of money at the moment?

I'll keep my eyes peeled for Moria and his people carrier full of hot girls. (Well done).

Nope, and IMO may never be worth it. Both next generation DVD formats could end up being bypassed by the mainstream in favour of just sticking stuff on hard drives the way things are going. I'd far rather have more games than an HD DVD drive that could end up being next to useless.

Is it worth someone setting up a 360 console bargains thread or something? I'm thinking of getting one in the next few days you see and can't be bothered to go around checking everywhere. I was in town on Friday pricing up different options and very nearly started grabbing random kids to see if they had a Virgin student card for the discount.

Will people be playing the multiplayer for as long as they have with Halo 2 though?

I listen to the Gervais one always without fail. I sometimes listen to a couple of different World of Warcraft ones, and I also try to catch Audio Fusion just to remember what some of my friends sound like.

He could just sell his watch to pay for it.

11/10. Outstanding.
