Gotta get my ass to HMV over the next few days.

Been wanting to see what all the fuss is about as I am a PES player.

100% sure. I couldn't believe it myself.

Give it time and you should find (like I did) that it's far superior to PES2009. I'm a former PES player myself so no bias here.

GTA Chinatown Wars (DS) is 30 in Gamestop at the moment. Or it was on Friday at least. Plus there was a sticker about 20% extra trade in against it or something. Plus you can get a crappy 5% student discount.

Anyway, 30 is a good price, game is great fun.

It would help if you said what they were and even then -> adverts.ie or ebay are your best bet!

Yep, Adverts would be the best bet if you're looking fo the best price. Don't bother trading in in shops, they'll usually give you rubbish prices.

Saw Lost Odyssey for a tenner, new, in Xtravision Bray today. Was going to pick it up, but have a worryingly large backlog of JRPGs to grind through.

For anybody looking for Xbox points and in possession of a student card, HMV are doing 2 for €40 on Xbox classics (meh), but the offer also includes MS points.

So with my student discount I got 4200 points for €36!
