Obviously no good to you now but if you need to buy MS points (for XBLA games or DLC) I can highly reccommend www.gamepointsnow.co.uk who sell all manner of LIVE related codes, you also get the codes emailed instantly to your inbox so you can get using em straight away.

hardly in the spirit of the thread, but i'm probably going to splash out on a ps3 this weekend - either with one of the phone deals or one of the upfront packages.

Any recommendations?

Shopto.net were doing a really good deal recently, play.com were doing good deals also.

If its games you're after, I'm assuming you own a 360 and already have the major titles and will put *'s next to the "must haves" (in my opinion)...

Resistance 1* and 2
LittleBigPlanet*
Ratchet & Clank
WipeoutHD* (PSN Downloadable title)
Metal Gear Solid 4
Everybody's Golf 5
WarHawk*
Uncharted Drakes Fortune*
The Last Guy (PSN Downloadable title)

There's others, but those are my reccomendations.

Bastard i just spilt my wine with a genuine LOL. But seriously, twas a very simplistic question, but do you play them? are they anything near realistic? Obv individual mission games arent, but how close does the genre come. Do they bring up memories good or bad? Must be a strange position to be in, I'm intruiged.

Anyone got one of them wireless headsets for their 360?

Are they any good, and are they really worth £30/£40 notes!?

Its just i find the wired one a bit flimsy and of poor quality, and you look a gimp wearing it - the wireless ones look pretty smooth?

Also, if anyone hgas noticed them going cheap anywhere in the sales...

They're good, but I'm not too sure how many people use them these days. Every feck* on COD used to have em, and it'd make teamplay much better because you'd talk and tell folk where the baddies were. Not so much any more, deathly silence

Good game and an excellent price!

They are very good, however, like most (if not all) 360 accessories they are disgustingly overpriced for what they are.

I'd not be without it.

As for cheap stuff I heartily reccommend www.shopto.net every time. Some REALLY good bargains on there right now and excellent delivery times.

Can anyone reccomend a speaker set 5.1 or (more realistically) 2.1 that has a digital optical input that I can use with my 360?

I've been looking but can't find owt.

Don't want to spend loads and don't really want a surround sound system as I ain't got the space!
