Tipex Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 'Walk in'..... sounds like to much effort to me! Saying £37.46 on the Tesco website at the moment and they never did anything special for Black Ops (I don't think). Anyway they only ever have about 10 copies in stock so unless your a taxi driver and go there at midnight.... oh, hang on... Your having a laugh, Tesco will have thousands, like they do for the launch of every 'big' game, they'll wheel the pallets out at midnight and stick em right by the front door like always,. Black op's doesn't interest me so I didn't check the price, but they are usually around the same price as whoevers cheapest. I've never bought a game on release day either, I don't see having it straight away as much of a priority to be honest, I'd rather wait till the fuss has died down, along with the price!

Fair enough but I'm just a lazy fecker who likes to get in from work to find the game on the door mat! Sometimes with pre-orders in the past I've had them a day early as they try to post them so that you get them on the release day. F1 2010 I got a few months ago came through my door the day before it's release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Saying £37.46 on the Tesco website at the moment and they never did anything special for Black Ops (I don't think). Black Ops was £25 when you bought a £20 PSN voucher (or £40 for the game plus a £20 voucher for £5, if that's how you want to look at it). If you have kids who spend money via PSN, it was a cracking deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully my kids arn't old enough to spend all my hard earned money on PSN .... just yet! Did sound like a good deal thou! Would guess they'll do the same again then for GT5.

Tipex Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Let us know! update after 4 years in the making will be a major kick in the teeth! I still don't think I'll buy it, but the problem is, if I do, I'll have to buy a fecking 3D TV, and put the Panny in the bedroom to replace the broken LG. Still, christmas is coming I suppose, so I could always treat myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes think my PS3 must be a bit dodgy, as it usually takes ages to download stuff over wifi, despite being on a 20mb connection, but having looked into it, it seems normal, some thing really really annoy me about the PS3, my Super Nintendo turns on instantly, doesn't ever need an update, and never needs to download anything, progress?...

Tipex Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 You keep saying it like you really mean it! I'm not sure I've got enough room left on my HD for it if it want's 6gb, mines a launch console, thinks it's only 60gb? I definately won't be buying it before xmas, if I like it after trying it at yours I might get it, but I'm in no hurry, not played the PS3 since I got sing star to bring to your 30th, but then forgot it.

But does your Super Nintendo have a nifty little PS logo that swivels 90 degrees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'm sure it will be great, but it will take weeks before you get to the top end cars that you want to drive and tweak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 But does your Super Nintendo have a nifty little PS logo that swivels 90 degrees? No, but then the batteries in the controllers never go flat, especially as I only seem to fire the PS3 up every few months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biscuits Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 I've waited four fecking years, another 40 minutes will go past very quickly in comparison... I'll play BlackOps on the XBox while it loads . . . LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only game I've played in 3D is BlackOps on the 360... i didn't think it had 3D capability, but stumbled pin the option in the settings menu :D Will be good to compare the grafix of the 360 vs PS3 in 3D when GT5 turns up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
