Under the TV

Seriously most places seem to be the same price wise, I got mine from Tesco's so you pick up some points, but I'm sure someone will have some other ideas.

There's plenty of good deals around Phil, they'll probably get better closer to Christmas thought, I wouldn't have though anywhere would run out of Xbox 360's

Need for Speed 'Pro Race' looks good, no release date yet
COD4 on the 9/11

Phil just make sure you get him one that has a hard drive, for save games and required for Online gaming, and the headphones, so he can abuse his mates whilst whooping them

So steer clear of the Arcade edition...

did I mention..... 8 days to COD4

Phil, how old it Robbie??

Reason i say that is our "Forza exploits" usually involve a lot of 4 letter words!!
Unless Milamber is on line, when its all well behaved!!!!

"I say old bean, awfully sorry, i appear to have made contact with your rear bumper, thus swapping paints" etc.....

Not that I've noticed

You just know that Robbie's never going to see it don't you and we'll have "Forza Phil" on our tail in his SIDC stickered up STi

Can someone do the tuning for him so it has different springs on the back to the front, he'll never notice
