Normality.

Had my 360 for about a month now, and think it may have destroyed Gears of War. I got gears of war second hand in a bundle because they had sold out of new ones, every time I try to play it now it just comes up with 'xbox cannot read the disc properly, clean disc' or whatever the message says. The game worked fine for ages so is this just a case of my xbox destroying it? If so is it likely it will destroy other games and I'll have to get a replacement? Do you reckon if I takes GoW back to Gamestation where I got it and say its fucked they might be able to do something about it? Cheers.

Does anyone know if Gamestation have some sort of return policy? ie you can return a game within 10days or something? Because I don't think my pre-ordered version will come today so was going to buy it from Gamestation and play until my preorder which was cheaper.

Ordered today from HMV and got 10% student discount, so will save a tenner from going in to the sops. Hope I get it Friday, if not, waited long enough so a couple more days shouldn't make much difference.

My local gamestation said they would be stocking the game for about £37.99 however I am wondering whether I should bother pre-ordering it online for £29.99, save a bit of money as I'm way into my overdraft. Thing is, if I preorder from HMV today, will it be delivered for Friday morning? If not how long will I have to wait for it roughly? Considering just paying the difference and getting it Friday.

Hey. I'm looking into gtting a new MP3 for uni as my old one broke at the start of Summer. I used to have the Sony NW-HD1 which was 20Gb and I enjoyed it muchso. Not sure what to get next though as they don't make that anymore and the new Sony NW-A3000 doesn't look so good, and my brother had one and didn't like it. Enough of this jibbering what MP3/HDD player would you recommend and why? Thankyou please.

I see what you mean about Splinter Cell. Currently started it and it feels a bit meh at the moment. I finally took the plunge and bought Baten Kaitos using my £2 off voucher off blahdvd.com for £27.99. I thought I'm gonna buy it eventually may as well just get it now. Does anyone know how long they take to deliver?

Coursework at GCSE is not too bad from what I rember. The trouble I always have with any big piece of work is actualyl starting it. Once you start it and get a bit done, you get into that frame of mind to carry on and you realise it's not so bad. I'm in my second year of college and I don't have to do any coursework at all. I don't mind it so much cos I'm fine with exams. First year Physics coursework was pretty dull. Didn't enjoy it. The only courseowkr that would have interested me was in the second year where you research into your own thing (ie black holes) and write up a report. But I did not bother to take the second year.

Finished The Alchemist today. Was a very good read. I would recommend. Got a little crazy near the end though. Bought The Devil and Miss Prym off amazon for 0.01p so hope thats as good but i don't think it will be.

The story is great and involving though. Few twists and turns you might not expect! Buy it. I'm ashamed to say I traded mine in after I completed it.. kinda wish I didn't because it's easily one of my all time fave games!

Hey I don't hjave this game yet.. I'm currently lookin to buy it relatively cheap.. it's next on my list but I have a few other games to play first. Anywhos, I was wonderign how long it roughly takes to complete first time round? I like long RPGs. Also is the story better or worse than say ToS or Skies of Arcadia? Are there many twists? I alays like those. I reckon I should like it.. the card system put me off in the first place but many say it's one of the games best features. I prefer Skies... to ToS.

There was a time I think it did have it in. And then a couple of days later I realized and thought 'why didn't I buy it?' So I went back the next day but alas it was gone. I'm going to visit my brother at Cardiff Uni soon so I'm gonna try n not buy any games till then as there are many many games shops where I can no doubt pick up a bargain.. and hopefully Baten Kaitos.

Just finished Starfox Adventures. Nothing special. Found it quite boring and repetitive at times. I completed it in just over 13 hours. The best thing about it is probably the last boss battle which brought back fond memories. Took me 4 times though! Shocking. Just shocking. But fun nonetheless. 6/10 I'm not gonna complain too much as it only cost me a fiver.

I'm currently watching the 4th season and it's good, gripping stuff. I have a small penis. My first testicle is scratched though and keeps coming up with an error. I'm on drugs and it's too scratched I could only watch half of the episode! Lesson to oneself... never sleep with mum again.. heh heh heh (yeah right).

I finished Bill Bryson's Neither Here Nor There last night. Wasn't too impressed really.. few laughs, not as much as I'd have hoped for. All in all not really my kind of book, I didn't buy it so all is well. Just started reading The Alchemist by Paul Coelho. I'm finding it very enjoyable.. read the whole of part one and only stopped to hunt for food. I don't think it will take me too long to finish this. I have to say LOTR trilogy are my favourite books. Read em twice. Bought The Silmarillion but for some reason never finished it, it's more of an acount of the earlier ages than story. His Dark Materials are also very good books. Thoroughly enjoyed them.
