Default the things boredom does to you

i was bored maybe a week ago,

went on the net clicked a few things, typed a few things..

and today this arrived.





not got any games yet ... need some recommendations..

also ordered a 320b hdd

HATE FPS. so none of those (even though theres tonnes of the stuff)

i am getting these later today at work


untold legends
motorstorm,
world snooker champ 2007
heavenly sword
sega rally




(wanted virtual tennis but theres no online play so i'm leaving that)

can anyone else recommend anything (gonna get GT and dynasty warriors when it comes out)

a big fan of old games like

jade empire, footie, puzzle, shenmue

i'm a fifa fan too, but i also like pes, the recent fifa ones aren't as good as the classic ones,
i hate FPs, cos i'm totally shi7 on them , i can't walk properly i headbutt the wall i aim at the skies...
btw medal of honor on wii is quite good, (lol too much like time crisis )

i havent pro evo or fifa , but reading all the reviews and things everyone rates pro evo over fifa this year, altho i hated the fact pro evo never had the real team names n players, quite funny
never played moh on wii but it could be much fun, have u played cod4? i have a lot of mates who were against fps's but since playin this they cant get enough ( its that good online )
i so should be a games promoter

the ps3? free

its the mobile phone deal, (for my dad, hehe. i got him the 6300 18mth on £30)

i did that last time with a psp.
this time it was a toss between a crap laptop, premium (basic) 360
or midrange ps3 or even a 32" lcd tv......hmmmmm



if anyone is interested i chose Mobile Phones and Free Gifts at BuyMobilePhones.net
theres cheaper tariffs (yeah i spent alot of time hunting.....as you can see from the price i paid for the 4 games at work ....PCW)

and btw if theres a part in which who recommended you.. you can put my dad's name if you're feeling kind
Mr kwun sang wong
wwp88888@gmail.com

lol....


not bad deal i think i got...


now back to the games.....

i dont think there is a playable demo available of cod4 on playstation network, best thing to do is prob go rent it at blockbusters , same with LOST, i have read some reviews, most saying its not v good but a couple saying it is, def down to individual game taste i guess.
bargain games u got tho!!! check out colin mcrae dirt if u get the chance

Let us know how you get on installing that. I'm probably gonna get a 40GB PS3 at the end of this month, and I'm very interested in upgrading the HDD.

just done it today,
the screws are right tit to do, make sure you get the right philips screwdriver to do.
one got eroded and i had to saw the screw so i can fit a flat screwdriver to unscrew it..

anyway after that its easier than undoing a ladies bra,

format was quick too. which i was kinda surprised.
and had my first go online., NO lag whatsoever. it was sega rally
and i got my *** whipped..... but it was fun...

Lancias are so damn quick.
