A wee thread to let people know what you have picked up, what price you paid and where from.

Bought the following today.

NHL 2008 - £49.99 gamestation
Madden 2008 - £49.99 gamestation

I would usually not goto these rip off merchants, but i had £67 store credit with them, traded in forza 2 and flatout racing, so it only cost £11 in total.

I pre-ordered FIFA08 from Blockbuster, ill be trading in Bioshock and £9.99 for it.

I will pick up Halo 3 tomorrow, Stranglehold and £9 to get that one.

West side.

Goody!

Yesterday I purchased:

Blue Dragon for £18, from a guy on Hotukdeals;
Fight Night Round 3, Lost Planet and Table Tennis for £35 in total, from another guy on Hotukdeals.

Got Halo3 today - pre-ordered it from GAME website. £39.99 but had about £15 worth of reward points or whatever to use.

Pre ordered PES2008 from some site MarreZ gave me (still ain't had confirmation of my order though ) for £31 using some code.

Thats cos you suck

I recently bought a lesser known title: "yer maw"

It wasn't very entertaining and indeed is probably suited to older people.

Might I suggest Format as well? Just in case it isn't obvious from title/price.

saints row - got it cheap off a mate and have to admit its a pretty decent game.

Got Fifa 08 from my Uncle in Hong Kong!


































Only Joking

Saints Row is an excellent game, I got it a few months ago for £22.

Aye, shame about the laggy framerate, another game i really liked but then for some reason never got back into after going away from it for a week or two.

I forgot ive also got Sega Rally (360) coming this weekend as well. Got it for £29.99 at blahDVD.

Picked up Halo 3 - £8.99 + Stranglehold (which cost me £18.99)

£27 today

How did you get it for that price ?

You can trade in any top 20 game at blockbuster and get a new game for £9.99

Since halo was £34.99 and the trade in value of strangehold, £26 - it was only £8.99

do you get much trade in for old xbox games these days?

Pennies.

Mark, do you know if Blockbuster give the best prices for trade ins outwith the £9.99 deal?

got a shot of PGR for 360. any good?

got Halo 3 yesterday for £32 in virgin

Bought Condemned and Halo 3 for the 360. Enjoying both. Despite looking forward to Halo 3 i got condemned off my mate and the story line is intresting. Surely there will be a plot twist at the end though...

They tend to yeh, but if you goto Blockbuster, get a print out, gamestation will match it.

Blockbuster discount new games, gamestation dont, most new games are £39.99 or £34.99 if they are a big release. Im trading in Moto GP07, Medal of Honour Airborne and Bioshock tomorrow, picking up fifa08, Skate and Sega Rally 3 - total cost - £29.97

Got my hands on FIFA 08 this morning....so far, so good.

What version?

Lucky I didn't have a game I fancied trading in today. Went into Gamestation, Fifa on 360 £49.99. f**k that.
Went into Game, they didn't even get their delivery of Fifa for the 360 or Wii.
Went into HMV, £38.

PS2

How did you manage that? Virgin were selilng it for £37.... which I paid even though I knew it was a total rip-off and it'll be £25 in no time at all.

just bought fifa 08 and got a free football

Ooooooh where'd you buy it and how much?

Just got Fifa 08 and Juiced 2. Got Juiced 2 half price

I've ordered Final Fantasy 12 from Play.com. Only 12 quid. Have to wait a couple of weeks though cos it's on Platinum and hasn't been released yet.

Got Bioshock and Quake Wars via Steam.

Ratatooiee, Project Gotham 4, Crash of the Titans, NBA Live 2008 all for the 360.

Resident Evil, Mercury Meltdown, Tamagotchi, My Sims, Trauma Centre, Mario Party 8, Paper Mario, Madden 08, Zelda, Wario Ware, Fifa 08for the Wii.

You really are a whore!


Actually that reminds me, I still have RE 4 to get into on Wii.

I'd ordered the Orange Box ages ago and, of course, Portal came out today.

Portal's around 2-3 hours long but by far the most fun I've had gaming since the first few days of TF2, indeed it's probably even better, and has one of the top five endings in any game that I've played. Nah, f**k it, top three.

If you don't like Portal, seriously, you're fucked.

In fact even controller users can play it, it's out on the 360.

Don't scoff and say you're not paying that price for 3 hours of gameplay; there's replay value (which I haven't done yet, obviously) in challenge modes and unlockable achievements.

Even if there wasn't, you'd be a total golfer if you didn't buy it.

I cannot begin to tell you how amazing Portal is - even if not so much the game itself, its potential for fan-made levels and (better) Valve expansions. Buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy.

That equates to around 20 hours for me.

Gonna get the orange thingy for the 360 when it comes out. Seems a pretty good deal.

While not a "new" game as such, I have finally started on Twilight Princess for the GC. What a game!

It is a pretty good deal. TF2 is fuckin' awesome but I've pontificated on that elsewhere.

I've still not entirely finished HL2 Ep 1 - saved near the end then haven't had time to go back - so I've not played HL2 Ep 2 yet, which also is in the Box.

Excuse my ignorance in such matters, but are Half Life 2, Half Life 2:Episode1, and Half Life 2:Episode2 three totally separate full length games?

I know they are not full length, but not sure if you need HL2 in order to play them, though i would imagine you would.

So I reckon No, but then I haven't even completed HL2 yet :S

HL 2 is full length, I'm just over 6.5 hours into HL2 Ep 1 and pretty much done, HL2 Ep 2 is pretty much the same length, as far as I know.

Each is stand-alone, you don't need any one to run the other. It makes eminently more sense to play them in order, of course.

I got the Orange box for 360 last night, ive only stuck on HL2 so far, i got 5 achievement points for throwing a can at one of the guards

I also got Juiced 2 for 360, Medal of Honour Airborne, World Series of Poker 2008 and a few others. I got tamagotchi, Mercury Meltdown and FIFA08 for the wii.

Warioware, Mario Party 8, Super Paper Mario, Resident Evil 4, Wii Sports, Trauma Center: SO, Zelda: Twilight Princess, Mario Strikers Charged, Mercury Meltdown Revolution, Madden 08, Tiger 08, Bruswick Pro Bowling, Big Brain Academy, Need For Speed Carbon and Dave Mirra BMX for the Wii.

Stop posting, go and play Portal instead.

Ill give it a shot when i get home, what is it anyway?

I also got Halo 3 legendary edition with the helmet, which now takes pride of place on my desk at work

This is Portal:

Additionally Portal is living proof in every respect except length that Valve make the finest computer games on the market today.

Sometimes if I'm having trouble sustaining an erection I try to imagine what it would be like if Warren Spector joined up with Valve to make a full-length Deus Ex 3.

*Moist*

Were you playing Qix when you took that photo?

Just ordered the Orange pack through Steam.

Really looking forward to Portal.

Ive got a shed load of games that I havent got into yet so I need to do some serious gaming next time home

Portal's regular game mode will take you an evening or less. Do it in one sitting if you have the time, and don't read any spoilers beforehand.
