I bet you thought i was a JAT, well im not.
Anyways, can someone help me by telling me what the best game is to get right now (Apart for Splinter Cell:PT) because im buying an XBOX bundle which consists of two games. I've worked out on my calculator (my brain) that i'll have 33 GBP (I can scrape up an extra couple of quid if the games more expensive than that) so please can you tell me the best game to get right now, Thanks.Oh, and could you tell me whats the best place to buy an XBOX bundle from?

Its not all crap but considering the best games on Xbox are multiformat (outside of Dead or Alive 3) it doesn't really act as a decent selling point.

I might not get it online, i will obviously use my free 2 moths subscription but i might just swap SOCOM 2 in for a game instead of Live. Im getting quite sick of Online play actually, i just want a few games with nice smooth, not too hard gameplay.

Im might get Beyond Good And Evil, looks good and cheap.
I think i've stopped playing games as much as i used to, i dont really have much time to be online and stuff and why would i pay £40 a year for something i'll only used once or twice in a week.

Although you said the offlines crap im still gonna get the XBOX, i think all three consoles have a few good offline games.I have an Ethernet cable ready in my room so i can easily go online if i feel like it. Im just gonna get the bundle enjoy the offline gaming and get myself a new game in return for SOCOM 2.

You are asking the wrong person, I sold my Xbox in January as offline its pretty much crap in my opinion and LIVE turned out to be a huge disappointment. Outside of playing you can download content but even that turned out to be a joke. Paying £40 a year + all the future rip off download fees isn't worth it, not when I can play PC games online for free. You would be better asking someone else for a positive opinion but I thought I would add my bit as well.

KOTOR is a different game to Jedi Academy, for me its one of the finest RPG's ever, a true masterpiece. By all account Jedi Academy is a good game but I buy very few multiformat titles and have only played the demo of the PC version.

They will if they are anything like the store near me. They won't give cash but you can take stuff in with receipt months after purchasing (sometimes even without a receipt) and providing you kick up a fuss they will give you store credit. Seeing as its such a new game then I would imagine they wouldn't have any trouble trading it for a LIVE pack.

Also by ordering online you can enter your reward number to have your purchase points put onto your card, this basically means you don't have to spend in store to reap the benefits as sometimes they are a bloody rip off in store but online their prices can be pretty decent.

Basically by opening up a GAME card you will receive points for everything you purchase, these points are then turned into GAME vouchers at the end of each month however they won't send out until it reaches either £2.50, £5.00, £10.00 etc. I have about £10 of vouchers from my Cube order coupled with a few games I pre-ordered from them. SR give you Reddies for every purchase however you will only receive one Reddy per order and you have to save 5 just to get a free gift and if you look at the free gifts you will see that the GAME scheme is far more rewarding.

Not sure about SR trade prices but your best bet would be EBay. Rainbow Six 3 providing you don't kill it to death will provide the best tactical shooter experience on any platform. If you do kill it to death there is fack all else to do due to the lack of current download content. My point is that you won't miss Socom 2 if you plan to take it on LIVE.
