Um, it finally just went for 332k - against a purchase price of 325k. What the fuck?
Should... should I buy to auction immediately?

Fucking hell, the #88 Ferrari has gone over 95k/150 bids. Getting slightly annoyed that if a bid is received in the last minute it adds another minute, even if so far that's resulted in 35k+ extra earnings on the Fezzer - achievement want! |

(off topic, completely off topic, in fact oppostie topic) Out of interest, I just looked for the complete saga on 360 and found this bargainous price: http://www.grattan.co.uk/web/main/ProductDisplay.asp?An=0&N=0&Au=P_MasterItem&Nu=P_MasterItem&A=37W119_&cm_mmc=SEM-_-Froogle-_-Electricals/Computing/Xbox-_-37W119&catreqmedia=B4189&ordermedia=B3149&name=15POUND&orderoffercode=AF24&giftcode=EC&entry=1 £60 for a 360 game, is this possibly the biggest rip off around? |

Usenext usenet access free for 30 days: http://www.usenext.de/index.cfm?DL=client Username: AVI-HNL49-43555 Password: 2DBEDAED 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. |

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? |

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. |
