Bear in mind that the "Complete Saga" isn't that much more, and has at least twice the game for your money...

Out of interest, I just looked for the complete saga on 360 and found this bargainous price:

£60 for a 360 game, is this possibly the biggest rip off around?

I used to use usenext and it certainly was fast and comprehensive. Only used the trial offers though as it's also hellishly expensive. I got this info from their newsletter. I fear for there being some kind of spyware involved or something else too good to be true. Hopefully all will be well.

I'd say so, I never finished it as I got distracted by other games and it's not the sort of thing you can just go back to without a prolonged spell of trying to remember what the fuck you were meant to be doing. But I played quite a lot of it and found it pretty good.

A solid 7/10.

No. You would not appreciate paying £20 for it I think. You can borrow mine anyway (again). It is 95% watching cut-scenes that aren't that important anyway. It's basically KOTOR but with less combat and more soap opera. If you want something that eats up lots and lots of time and (Eventually) will get you an achievement for finishing it, however, then you should get it. Because it IS good for that.

My Live vision camera just came but what they sent is a sealed "Premium Gold Pack", which is the camera, a headset, Robotron & Uno, 200 points AND a 12 Months Live subscription. The codes are all on cards with the tear off strips intact. Is there any chance that the codes have already been used somehow, sold via email or something? Or have I just been really lucky?

CUS did you order one too?

I did, and I suspect delivery was attempted yesterday (I have a card). I'll be picking it up tomorrow - that's awesome if it does include 200 points and a year's LIVE subscription :D Everyone else: for pity's sake, order one of these sets now!

365Games (link earlier in the thread).

Just ordered one of these; sounds like a ridiculous bargain, but even if I just end up with the camera I'll be happy enough. They even take Paypal so I didn't have to spend "real" money!

To be honest I wouldn't count on getting what they sent me as they have that listed separately here:

http://www.365games.co.uk/index.php?productID=1024

If you just want the camera then they seem to be selling it for £19 now with no headset and only one game:

http://www.365games.co.uk/index.php?productID=2210

Incidentally the headset is slightly different than the one that came with my Xbox, the switch and volume are on the lead and it seems to fit my head better.

I also did, mostly. Dimrill didn't because it is a FPS and quite grey, and he hates those and doesn't play anything like that on the 360, with 'Martyrdom' turned on. ;)

Well, mine arrived, and much like yours, my 'camera+headset+game' pack equates to this:

camera + headset (mark II?) + 12 month Gold subscription + 200 points + Robotron + UNO + big proper cardboard box

I notice with great interest that the packaging displays the "Games for Windows" logo as much as the Xbox 360 logo. So, that might interest some.
