My first fat PS3 YLOD'd (launch day unit), then the second the disc drive died and when I got the third replacement I just flogged it on and bought a slim instead which was been trouble free bar being a bit noisy.
It'd probably work out at more than £100 as they'd need different motherboards for those models amongst other things.

How did you manage that? Even with the colleague discount I could only get it down to £32. Booked a week off work for it, sad JT that I am
@kharma, so they'd basically need an entire console inside yo console so you can play whle you play? Shame, looks like there'll never be a workaround then aside from the Gaikai stuff, and even then how could you prove which discs you own?
Buffon won the world cup and reached a CL final by being one of Italy's/Juve's best players.
No. I got the 40GB in February, around the time Uncharted was available. I got Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank.
I actually passed up a 60GB once for a reduced price. I was in Blackpool once, popped into Wilkinson's for a drink and it was sat there for £250. This was around 4/5 years ago. I was SO tempted but I left it. Big mistake in hindsight because I could have easily sold my 40GB one for good money.
Did I goof?!
Na it would've died on you by this stage lol.

Shit load of Zavvi points saved up + discount = victory
my 60gig going strong... 6 years.
My launch system still works.
Touch wood
Impressive enough that, fairly high failure rate with them.My launch day unit only made it 14 months.

This is football bro. If it happened more than 9 months ago, its irrelevant
In terms of having a working console? No. They go for a lot of money though, so it could have been a good investment
Would anyone be interested if I wrote a mini-review of the PS4 and launch games? Decided to get one at launch
edit: Mass Effect and Dark Souls will go down as my personal Mario games, I'm so much more enthusaistic about games than I was in the months before I played them.
Dishonored temporarily killed my love for gaming, the way that Chelsea temporarily killed football. Shove that up you arse, morsel.
Errr, shove what up my ass? My superior taste?

360 was even higher. By a substantial amount. Crazy stuff. My Elite still works but to be honest I've barely used it.

Bastard. Buy it off you for £31
How are Zavvi with preorders? Took them like 2 months to get Dark Souls to me, the first apparently got lost in the post. Wonder if they ever sent it even
@ Kyoufu, how much would you sell the Elite for? Never played Halo, Gears of War, Alan Wake, Metro 2033, Shadowrun, Trials or Mark of the Ninja
CONGRATS JUVE-GAF. 2nd title in a row! Great stuff.
CONGRATS AJAX-GAF!
You know me well enough to know the answer to that ;D
That would be quite the shocker here. A twist, that's for sure
Congrats Bumhead! Happy for you bro.
You are, and always have been, a gentleman FootballFan. Nice comeback for us yesterday Team needs to play proper football when Messi is not on the pitch though. Team needs a shake up in the summer IMO.
haha this landed on GAF!
Hey now Messi, if it wasn't for Fergie I wouldn't have anything to criticize
What for bro? I must have missed something.
You guys humble me <3
All the best to Newcastle Kyoufu, God willing they'll stay up and come back stronger next season!
That's how I felt like haha. Good pic to describe me. Like Jonjo I had to apologize later for disrespecting my elders
Mourinho will likely do the same, won't he >_< Crazy, after all this, there's still not a single confirmation of his return. He may even remain in Madrid (not very likely) or head to PSG.
Hitcher, I'd like to read your PS4 write-up btw.
That is quite true actually. I don't get it sometimes. In retrospect, I exaggerated in my tweets yet again. I will tell you one thing though and I may sound like a broken record at this stage for those who tend to read the majority of my posts here but I surprisingly don't hate United at all these days. The hate is dying down by a good margin. Not a fan of fergie still.
I would be honored to have you here bro! There would be much to do. Would be a day to remember
He said quite a few things I disagreed with; UFCLOL posted the whole excerpt and it contained a lot of exaggerated points.
Need to see a pic of this!
Sure, for Chelsea in particular (as I watch all their games), the opposition tends to run through our midfield far too easily much of the time.
Congrats man, looking great.
Beautiful.

My launch system YLOD on the day TDK came out on Blu-Ray called up for a replacement, which was an 80gb I believe, while my 60gb was fixed. But they allowed me to keep the 80gb, I think, until the Slim came out in '09. So I traded that in for a slim and got fight night round 4 free lol. Still have that slim, been fine ever since

It's okay though because I'll have PS4 to use for escapism.

I've never had problems with them. In-fact, I'm starting to see Amazon becoming more unreliable with their deliveries. Took nearly a week to receive Bioshock Infinite and more days than it should have with other products too.
Zavvi have been great with me though. I remember getting the TDK trilogy several days before release from them, as well as FIFA 13 a day or two prior to release.
On top of the frequent discounts and competitive prices (if not superior to other places), Zavvi is my go-to site for games.

When Mourinho moves to Chelsea, I hope he doesn't string it out like the attention-seeking knobend he is. Get it done, then everyone can move on.
My launch system still works.

Such a mixed bag of answers!
I remember the 360 launch.
I had a £20 deposit down at Choices (they were like blockbuster and one was super local to me, within walking distance). A week before launch I called them to confirm I'd have a unit and they said they couldn't get me one :/
A quick call to GAME and they could reserve me one... But it was a Core unit.
But I had to have one. So I got that :lol
CoD2, Kameo, Perfect Dark and PGR3 purchased within a week. Sooooooo good!

Could you play FIFA online before it was officially released?
Still can't decide whether to cancel the GTA5 preorder under the assumption that it's coming to PS4. Its coming in a nice little niche when I'll be desperate for a new game, but I don't wanna be tricked into double-dipping.
You know, I never actually tried playing online with FIFA prior to release. I was able to connect to the EA servers perfectly fine though.
As for GTA5, I have that on preorder for £35 for the PS3 (DISCOUNT VOUCHERS FTW) so even if it isn't out on PS4, it's a great price nonetheless as a back-up.

People are always giving away Zavvi vouchers in the Cheap-Arse Euro Gaffer thread. Wonder if they'll work for PS4. Then there's the risk of it either not coming on time though. Never understood people placing deposits for things when you can preorder for free online, and not risk the company going under and taking your money with them ala HMV's voucher scandal
Anyone who's interested in preordering a PS4 and lives in or around Berkshire, send me a PM
That Dan Brown book is £20 in Smith's and £9 on Amazon. That's why the high street is dying
Have the Ellie edition of the Last of Us pre-ordered from GAME
Is a pad skin, a poster, a tiny comic and a bit of canvas really worth £18 tho
SimplyGames is the best online retailer now imo.

Their prices for new games are OK. They still take the piss sometimes, like knocking off £2 for a preowned game or charging £35 for a year-old game. Also they still own the high street, so if you have a local game shop, its probably GAME. Especially since they absorbed Gamestation
I only use GAME for the odd thing. Shopto is my favourite place now, they delivered my Fire Emblem copy 2 days early! Got my 3DSXL from them too.

Why?
Edit: Which colour 3DSXL did you pick, dc? I want to get one soon.

Do you think shirt-pulling should become an automatic infringement, as it is in the rules, and the slightest pull should be punished? Or should defenders be allowed to pull players back within reason? Seems like that;s how referees view it.

I like the art book!
Shop2 are still the best for me, gonna buy a 3DSXL from them or Amazon, whichever is cheapest

Surely your colleague discount ends up making it cheaper to use Godbury's than Amazon or Shopto?

Questions breed discussion, discussion breeds knowledge, knowledge breeds progress.
Do one.
@FW, how long have you been there for? Just under a year?
I got a Xbox Elite late just for Bayonetta. Never bothered with a PS3. Don't really know why. Looking forward to picking up GTAV on PC when it shows up. Nintendo's 1st party offerings and Platinum's games on the WiiU, and will probably get a PS4 a few months later.
Not really interested in anything MS shows off.

Fair enough then, just checked and Sainsburys only do them with pack in games, and even then they're like £45 more expensive at best
@FW, my brain-calendar is all over the place lol
Closed it after 5-6 seconds. No fucking way I'm watching that lol.
