Pound for pound (or dollar for dollar) the pack isn't worth it: the only noticeable difference apart from a couple of new maps is the dropship. But of course buying it means more games are available for you to play...:x

All you can do is go to Create New User, and go through registering for PSN again, with a different e-mail, and give a different PSN name when prompted. Then ask your mates to switch to the new Friends list. Of course, all the game data you've savedon your old account will be void on the new one, as willany online accomplishments and rank advancements.

I'd have to say "Oblivion" is probably the greatest game I'veever played, in terms of the overall package: graphics, sound, gameplay, andlongevity. So many games that are genuinely great and rate 9.5 on websites and in mags have literally half as much to give as "Oblivion".

GTA is a British-developed game, I think (although it doesn't seem so: i.e., it's well made, and yes, I am English). Is Burnout still developed by the Brits?

I have the thing where it says I've been "kicked" from the game, or I just get cut off for no reason: I think this is because the servers connect you too quickly to a connection that is unstable (this sounds similar to another EA. title, FIFA '08)When the mode actually works, I agree it's great: you don't get cars jumping around everywhere like in the online modes of GT Prologue. I just hope they create a mode where you can search for a game that has a more stable connection.

If you're not great at Warhawk, I'd recommend staying out of the skies: all the best players seem to fly the planes. What I do is grab a portable missile launcher or get in the AA or homing missile turrets. That way, you get a fair amount of Team Points even if you don't necessarily get loads of kills.

I much prefer Hot Shots Golf 5/Everybody's Golf on the PS3, which came out in Japan last year and should be out in the US and the UK in March. Even thoughHSG5 looks cartoony, it is actually far tougher than the Tiger franchise (I hate that word, but that's what it is) because you can't alter the length of each shot as much. It's just a better game.

I too find the Sixaxis too light and flimsy. The join between the two halves of the controller isn't very good. Plus, the trigger buttons tend to become limp andover-sensitive after a month or so of using them. Hold down the L3 to run in COD4 and the thing seems to be on the verge of falling apart. I'm getting the DualShock 3 from Japan and hope they've ramped up the build quality up to the level of the classic D/S 2.

CoD 4 was fine online for me (using a UK account in England)until I set up a new PSN account for the Japanese PSN. Since then, it's been really slow to connect to games and even download my rank info. I don't know if this is just me, or if switching between accounts causes this. I've had no probs with Warhawk.
