LOL I paid retail

[Destrukticor]

i'd have paid a little more than retail but even ones that don't even a box are going for ?60 plus nor they can gtf for those kinda prices

[JP]

Mine turned up today too!!

After reading about the prices on eBay I'm seriously tempted to stick it on there though. One is on ?80 with 12 bids and has over an hour left.

[Destrukticor]

the one i was watching went for 103.99
abosulte madness i can wait :O)

[JP]

Lol that's an insane price, I think I just got lucky as I ordered before this all kicked off. I'd be more than happy to sell mine for that sort of price as the games out soon anyway and I'm embarrassed to say that I've still got a UK copy on pre-order.

[Matt]

Honestly, I'll sell my promo if it's still daft prices next weekend and wait the week for the UK version. "The Version Sony Don't Want You To Hear" should raise the bidding!

Brilliant game, but I'd wait another couple of weeks if I could double my money! Who wouldn't?

[JP]

That one I'm watching on ebay has just jumped up to £100 with 4 minutes left!!!

EDIT:
It went for £105. I'm reeeeaaaally tempted now, I could sell the game & throw in the pre-order code I've got for the US Kratos with it.

[Destrukticor]

insane stuff i tell thee!
was all for jumping in paying a little over the odds and getting one early.
not for those prices
at least it made the choice of what to play next fri that little bit easier.

[Matt]

I've done the first 6 levels now, and only got 100% on the first - all items, not dying. I've done all the levels without losing a life now, but trying to collect everything is tough, and you definitely need two players a lot of the time as there are some co-op only sections.

The levels are packed with ingenuity and charm. This game is clearly a labour of love. It deserves to sell by the boat load.

[JP]

I'm playing this along with Disgaea 3, Bioshock, Pro Evo '09 & Saint's Row 2 which I've somehow manage to buy/trade in the space of a week so I've not done that much but I'm going to have another game now.

It was fantastic getting to

->Open Spoiler<-

The Savannah

as it introduces loads of new gameplay to it. It's difficult to understand just how much there is to do and collect in each level and it's going to take a lot of effort for people to unlock it all.

In retrospect I think I'm gad that servers aren't up yet as that would just feel like I was being swamped with stuff.

[Dazzyman]

Can you create levels and save them then if the servers are off on your own machine or does it need to upload them (never did beta creating only playing)?

[Matt]

I think you can only upload 4 maps to the servers, but your "moon" has space for a lot of local maps - so you can get creating now However, you won't have all the materials and bits and pieces without opening them up in the single player game. I've already got a load of material I never had in the beta - including a

zebra

material that looks AWESOME on a Sackboy!!

Anyone know what those black sackboy faces next to a switch are on each level? I walk past and a red X goes over the face. I'm assuming I have to be a certain costume for them to activate??

Once you've gone past them it stops other people from joining your game.

I've just started

The Island

area now. It's starting to get really challenging now.

[Matt]

Oh I thought it would open up stuff. I was about to try putting on nothing but the costumes I'd picked up in one level and then activating that switch.

I'm not progressing with the game very fast as the missus and I are playing it through together - so that's about an hour a night after the kid has gone to bed. I've done all of the second section, will move to the third tonight. What I'm doing is replaying the levels we've done myself, to get the bonuses for one-lifing and trying to collect what I'd missed. I still only have 100&#37; on one out of 6 levels!

I have no doubt it will get tricky, already levels 4 to 6 showed a marked increase in challenge over the beta levels. Which is just what we'd said all along, despite some bizarre people proclaiming it an easy game after only playing the first 3 levels!

[Destrukticor]

It's now official,

demand for this game has gone mental

currently ebay prices are anywhere fom ?90-160 for this.

yes thats ?160 for a promo

i would have to rethink my hobby if i brought a ps3 promo for that.
