Downstairs GAME - Pre-owned Extreme G3 for GC priced at £24.99

Go up the stairs and you have the old EB turned into GAME - Brand new Extreme G3 for £14.99

In other news, who wants to do a straight swap for Burnout? I would like Godzilla mostly or anything else will do.

GO!

Meh at that challenge. 900,000? I think not :| Not right now anyway, I can probably pull off about half of it in the 2 minutes but the map just doesnt suit how I like to do tricks :P

Yeh the movies are a bit pants, looking forward to some of the movies for completing it however :) Be better than seeing some weirdos skating very slowly :D Going to be kicked off the PC soon so I'll hammer the game for a few more hours and see if I can get the pro challenge thing unlocked, only about 6 more challenges till I can do them.

Yeah, the game stays the same throughout, you always go round finding people to talk to. The videos are a bit pants aren't they, the proper ones you earn completing the game are good though (especially Bams) but then I would say that.

The only good thing about the clothes is that you can wear the CKY logo. Wahoo!

Isn't that goal Matt Hoffman gives you on his level, stoopidly hard.

I think they are dumb.
in manchester ther was a small eb upstairs and a huge game downstairs, they then turned the eb in to a game and completely refurbished the downstairs game to be small and nowhere near as good as the old one.

heh, i do stuff like that all the time, it's commonly known as taking advantage of their overly stupid system, mostly i buy up cheap game boy games for a pound or 2 and take them into game and the give you about £8-£10 for each of them, crazy, maybe, easy money making scheme, yes :D
