Ive been saying for like two years nearly that I'm going to get an Xbox 360. Soon, hopefully, it will actually happen. I have decided that I will probably get one from Amazon.co.uk with my next paycheck. They are doing a deal where I can get any two of UFC: Undisputed 2009, Gears of War 2, Bioshock, GTA IV among others for an extra £10 when I buy my 60GB 360, although I know UFC is going to be a must. I played Fight Night 3 recently at a friend's and its was good, so I'm in the mood for a fighting or wrestling game - plus its selling for about £40, bveing a new game. Im also thinking of getting The Darkness and Viva Pinata, and maybe Kameo: Elements of Power as my first games. Im interested to see what Rare have been up to on the 360. But I theres a chance that I might still have to wait.

I nearly gota 360instead of my Wii, because the games were cheaper, but I really wanted to see what the Wii was capable of. I probably should have waited though. Don't get me wrong, I love my Wii, I just can't afford a lot of games right now, as evidenced by the 360 situation. Most games even second hand are at least £20, and the best games are always expensive.Im still taking advantage of the cheapness of last generations games - I bought a PS2 for £45 last Autumn. Shadow of the Colossus is always between £25-35, and its one of the better games. In order to buy Soul Nomad & The World Eaters, I had to cough up nearly £50, more than I have ever paid for a game in my life. £30 is usually my limit.

Im usually stuck between waiting for months to buy the better Wii games after the prices drop or paying more than I should for lesser games like Ghost Squad or NiGHTS, as I have done most of the time with my Wii. It's been made all the more difficult when all the best games have been recent, so the prices are not dropping very fast, and the Wii is popular, so retailers are reluctant to drop prices for Wii games. Games like Little King's Story, Madworld, Punch Out Wii, The Conduit, Deadly Creatures, Monster Lab and Disaster: Day of Crisis are fairly recent, all interesting to me. De Blob is much older, and even that is too expensive at times. Its only going to get tougfher as the Wii gets more games.

I might just have to get rid of some of my games by taking them to a place in Aberdeen called Solid Gold, where I can trade them in, and maybe get a swap deal. Or try and sell some things on Amazon.
