Yeah but who wants an old DS when the much sleekier, sexier DS Lite is so much sleeker... and sexier?

Get a Cube instead - they're the best deal! £34.99 for the console plus two games in the 2 for £20 section or four games from the 4 for £20 section! That means the console + pad is costing you just £14.99!

XBox is £44.99 with 4 games from the 4 for £10, or £49.99 with £20 deal games.

Quick question for any of our resident Game / Gamestation workers: What's the purchase price for a preowned Xbox? It was about £35 last time I checked, and I'm thinking of grabbing one in case my 360 goes Red Ring again.

According to the website, yes:

5th down on the right, wait for it to change. More purple than pink tho.

Just out of interest, does anywhere still sell new Xboxes?

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The trailer looks amazing and its being developed by Infinity Ward who were responsible for the killer CoD 2 on 360, so it should be very solid in terms of gameplay.

I'm certain they'll take consoles without boxes, Game have a supply of their own blank console boxes they sell preowned Machines in - you might get less for them though. Hamster might wander in and be able to confirm that.

I'd guess you'll be pretty safe buying preowned games too, since Game and Gamestation just won't take games if they look like a dog's chewed them.

So I was adding a bunch of folk today from the list on the first page and I noticed a lot of you have gamertags that "don't exist." Please check and make sure your gamertag is spelled right and has spaces in the appropriate places. And as always, if you're not on the list and you are on XBL, please let me know so I can add you.

EDIT

And is anyone on here known as DrippyDiver? You sprung up on my friends list, but I have no idea who you are.

Sounds like the old problem the PS has had since its first incarnation: Larger size memory cards "saving" data and then not being able to recover it. Used to happen a lot on those PS1 cards that used "Pages" of memory blocks. Can you see the save data if you browse the card from the PS2 menu?

Psycho Mantis from MGS1.

Personally I hated the bosses in Metal Gear 3, in fact I still haven't beaten The Boss. No matter what I try I always got my ass kicked.

I like it a lot, which is coming from someone who didn't love Halo 2 all that much. Feel free to add me for a game

Apologies for the bump and the double post but AllDawson has said he won't have the time to use his code so Its up for grabs again, first come first served (Y)

So, go tomorrow? Or are they saying they won't accept it?

i thought as much but it isnt even a year old, is this something that happens alot then? has anyone ever had a slimline ps2 that lasted over a year or do they all break down before it?

For anyone else who's got 48hr trial cards, the current run of them will expire at the end of June so.........y'know, use them an stuff.

Kulex got here first, sorry Michael.

May be more tomorrow, my flatmate's games should have some and he's already on Live.

All Dawson and CKN have been coded, only one left.

Trouble King and Summers will be recieving PM's shortly!

3 left.

Alrighty, since I'm picking up my subscription card tomorrow I've just run through my game boxes and turned up 5 48hr trial cards.

SO!

The first 5* people to reply will be PM'd one of the codes.

(*If I don't recognize you from being around the board you ain't getting)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand GO!

Okay, I don't get the red three rings of death so okay i'll give it a couple of weeks and see what happens...Thanks.

EDIT: No, I was playing Madden 07.

Call of Duty 2

I've regressed from CoD3, smaller games allow for more skill and there's a good community for it on Live based on the Xbox.com forums.

Call of Suty Actionpad? Might want to rename that or you'll miss some hits.

If Pro Ev's still that cheap in a few days I'll bid.

No, I think its graphics are tremendous. The problem is that I don't care for these amazing graphics (and the lack of a HDTV means I cannot fully experience the cinematic cut-scenes as they are intended anyway). I'd rather play something like Hexic, but then that's just my personal preference when it comes to games.

Resident Evil on the Playstation was just as infuriating, because that forced you to sit through cut scene after cut scene. I much prefer a game like Crackdown, where you can do as you choose. GOW has a predetermined path, and IMO is too much of a story/film and not enough of a game.

Online is much better, you are right (although I suck at it lol)

As for Viva Pinata, I didn't get it in the end. £45 ($89)? I think not. HMV have it advertised online at £30, but is priced at £45 in store. What the fuck?

Alterac Valley, the PvP battleground. Runs from 51 - 70 in a couple of different level bands.

Whats the price on a pre-owned regular (original fat one) style DS at gamestation? I miss mine

My flatmate just traded his PS2 to game against his PS3, he got £30 credit.
