lols cake.
CEX are cheapish but they aren't as good value as they used to be two or three years ago
It must just be the one near me that is pricey, though I did only look at hardware...
Oh Hardware wise they're taking the piss. They do the GAME thing of putting it a couple of quid cheaper than new.
Just had the best email through.
I am invited to an event to watch over 30 demonstrations of different vehicles crash into different street furniture.
Crash! Booom! Thud! Doof!
Do you get a +1?
Can I come? Can I come? Please?
which isn't bad for games where as long as the disk isn't scratched work as well as they did when they're new, but with hardware? Who buys a HDD from CEX for £5 less than new when its just going to fail?Quote:

South Eastern wanting £18.10 for a one way journey, after 9 pm tonight from London back to Tunbridge Wells. THAT'S extracting the micurant and no mistake.
Guess I might just wander off up Odeon T Wells tonight for to see Cap.
See, you should own a bike. That's £18.10 you can spend on snack food....
I have an issue with game pushing used over new as they're kicking the publisher as they're the highstreet retailer for games, there is no real competition.Quote:

And now?
Bus out to Cinema, very helpfully, stops at......17:45.
Or before anyone with a job has a chance to get home and their dinner down them.
GRAH! WANNA SEE CAP! TONIGHT!
Can't it wait till the weekend?

i honestly never buy second hand games and don't trade mine in either, I want at least some of my money to go to the people who made the game I'm playing. I like PC games where I can pay the publisher directlyQuote:

not exactly. the publishers are setting the RRP way too high, the profit on selling a new game is nonexistant, less than £1 usually. whereas a preowned game can get you as much as £10 profit. the consoles are much the same, a new PS4 will make something like £6 profit, whereas a preowned PS3 can make £60 profit. preowned is the only way the company is able to stay afloat.Quote:

of course, which is why Game doesn't charge that
tbf you're probably of questionable sanity buying them at all...
yeah I don't buy any annual releases. I got Fifa 14 for the PS4 and thoroughly enjoy it, but I wont buy another for a few years now. I have Mario Strikers Charged Football again now anyway, which is the best football game ever...
Snes sensible soccer is the best football game ever...
mario football, then international superstar soccer, then super soccer.
That just suggests you didnt spend enough time playing sensible soccer back in the day...
I played it enough
Yay! Order now placed.
Pile of hopefully terrible Cannibal films on the way, along with some classic stuff.
Look at this. I leave you lot alone for one afternoon and what happens? People get all agro, blow things way out of proportion and now the Game of Thornes thread is closed.
Wait, what?
well it was full of spoilers....
thank God it's been closed, it was turning into another Feminism thread, as if one isn't bad enough :D
I just realised, yesterday couldn't have been St. George's Day.
calendar differences?
See the St. George's Day thread ;)
Also, Happy Thursday! Wooo. Gosh I am tired.
For a four day working week it seems a long one...
Verily.
I've just order The Stick of Truth.
Heard good things about it from a friend with a matching penchant for childish humour and decent satire.
I'm waiting for it to go sub £20
Saw [URL="http://getyourgifsout.tumblr.com/post/83704444023/cyrilmusic-pinkaboo-fun-drillbot-this-is#notes"]this [/URL]on tumblr, quoted for truth, I assume larping is like this too mystery?
I don't know. Tumblr blocked at work.
But LARP = Cross Country Pantomime. Damn good work out for the body, soul and underlying levels of aggression, with the guarantee of a damned fine pint at the end. And before. And during.
