Must admit despite buying newer games later online I still get a buzz of unwrapping them.

I mentioned in my previous post a problem with my Crackdown disc, I popped into a local games store last week and picked up by chance my 1st pre-owned version of the game at a bargain £2.98. Initially I had the same freeze menu problems but freed up some space on my XBox and downloaded the usual XBox Live update ( what do they do ? ) and hey presto it finally works but still having to start again. Now made further story progress & extra achievements - hurray !

On the subject of pre-owned discs, I was worried about disc usage/scratches but it seems to be ok as proved today I brought another one cheaper at £1.98 of Project Gotham 3 which I've neverplayed despite enjoying PGR4 as one of my favourite racing games.

With a lack of cash it's now a new avenue of purchase.

Game on !
