That's great news

[Family Fry]

Yeah it is pretty cool, I don't mind going long way round if it means I can just pay and get the game with 100 points left over. Then again that 100 points normally gets me an odd indie game.

Dreadful, dreadful joke. You should be ashamed of yourself

[Family Fry]

February 28 Deal of the Week can be voted for again, choices are....

Castlevania Harmony of Despair for 800msp
Pac-Man CE DX for 400msp
Pinball FX2 Marvel Comics Bundle for 400msp
Lara Croft & the Guardian of Light 800msp

Wouldn't mind the Pinball FX bundle as the game is free and some tables to play on for 400 points aint to bad.

[Skull Commander]

Castlevania has been available on a better deal at Christmas, and I think I remember Lara been on a previous deal too. I'm going to vote Pac-Man, but I wouldn't mind Pinball FX either.

[chopemon]

For those that care, the full achievement tally in Pac Man is really easy.

[Neon Ignition]

Out of them I'd go for Pacman

[fuse]

I've got the lot of them already

[toythatkills]

Definitely Space Invaders for me! Maybe both Serious Sams, if they're any good?

[Skull Commander]

They fairly want to shift that Risk Factions. It was reduced at Christmas, then the other week again, and now they are going to do it again? It's a bit desperate.

[Family Fry]

Probably deserves a thread but...

I love the quote
Miss Matthews, a multi-media executive with the KM Group, is planning to contact a solicitor about the payments. She said Barclays and Microsoft have denied any liability over the bill, which has been paid. The Xbox Live account has now been closed.

Why would they be liable?
