Hey, thanks for replying. Why do you recommend Funz at AMK Hub?

Have you considered buying it online on Ebay? I suppose shipping might cost a bit if you take the not-so-express airmail options (and get shipping insurance) but it could possibly be cheaper. Something you might want to consider

I'm still trying to decide between 360 and Wii. I'm so not getting PS3. Its a flop. Its already starting to lose on developer support. Kinda reminds me of the Panasonic 3DO- the first CD based 32-bit videogame system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3DO_Int...ve_Multiplayer) good technology but way too overpriced to attract the mass videogame market (and thus developers) so it died fast. I predict PS3 to have a similar fate although it won't be as bleak

and to think that devil may cry 4 will be out on the xbox 360....back during the old xbox days, that thing was a blasphemy...

Funz at AMK Hub is a good place to buy from. I personally buy most of my games from there...i find the staff are quite knowledgeable and always able to recommend me the correct games and stuff...

Once, they stayed open till 11+ pm, so that i can exchange for a game that was accidentally put into my shop bag.

hmm.. my advice? don't mod.
A forum post should be like a skirt. Long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.
