    On my phone on a bus and just short of ordering this and a console, but since I've already got a shortage of time which won't change until January or February I should hold off.

    Argos have a killer deal at the moment, went for it last night.

    Xbox One, Fifa 15, The Evil Within, and Forza Horizon 2 for 409.99.

    Sold the games straight away so came to €295 in the end.

    Where did you sell the games? Did you trade them in?

    Not sure, i just launched the game and it downloaded it, but I've got unlocked review code. Make sure you're set up for automatic downloads and updates anyway, it'll probably work away in the background.

    The good news is it's just 15gb, not 20

    Got to say MS are knocking it out of the park when it comes to exclusives. This game is probably bargain of the year as well. My PS4 is gathering dust at the moment. Sony need to get the finger out next year, bloodborne better be good!

    Big time, because The Order is not looking too hot either. So far all MS's exclusives are better than Sony's imo.

    I wouldn't consider this game an exclusive or new ip etc. Nothing really new although Sony heads did get similarly excited about Last of Us.

    Its a game exclusive to the xbox one its not new though but it is remastered. That is enough for folk to buy it again.

    Pretty obvious really, it's not a new or exclusive game.

    But it is exclusive. The halo series is xbox or microsoft exclusive whatever, and its the first time all 4 games have been available on one platform, in their current form, and the only way remastered halo 2 is accessible.

    Its exclusive to this generation of consoles, it does exist on the older consoles but as you pointed out so does the last of us.

    Difference would be that unlike the last of us which is relatively new IP, the halo games are much older and some of them look rough.

    Agreed.

    However releasing old games would not lead me to claim they are knocking it out of the park and claiming this as an exclusive game.

    I just want some new games for PS or XB as it's that time of the year again and we have a new Assassin's Creed, CoD, Far Cry etc

    Plus remakes of GTA 5 and this.

    Gaming is getting very boring.

    Not everybody has played the Halo games before, I have played Halo 3 for about half an hour. So for me, £40 for this is awesome stuff. Sold.
