Congrats! I'm playing borderlands at the moment and it is great! I highly recommend it!

AWESOME! I am very jealous, as I just picked up Forza 3 today, and my current HDD will not allow me to install the entire game. The good news is that I can at least install the second CD. ENJOY!

OH.. and Uncharted 2 IS worth the wait

Did i mention Uncharted 2 is amazing?

Wow! (not WoW) Have fun with your new toys! I will ask my parents to buy me the same toys as yours
Patience: I think that I have a little of that virtue...I have the patience to wait in the rain for the bus to arrive, to wait for an hour in a restaurant for the meal that I ordered, even to wait for more than 15 years for my favourite club to win the championship. All these are possible, but waiting for a week for a game like Uncharted 2 to arrive via mail: this is simply supernatural for me Christine I suppose you found it cheaper in the internet, than it is in the stores. Here I didn't find it anywhere in the store less than 69 Euros! I guess, I will have to wait some time untill the price drops. No problem: because I have patience, as I said before...

Wow, that's a pretty great purchase! Enjoy!

I'm in the same boat with Borderlands, and Forza 3 I am waiting for them right now. Enjoy Uncharted!

Ooh, swish. Niceone. I've only got a standard Elite, but I can't see myself using up its 120GB (113GB really) HDD any time soon.

nice, have fun. vroom vroom.

Hmm...I am finally able to comment on your post. Hope you got my message.

Very nice Wish I had that, I have a 60 GB and even though it's half full, I still wish I had more space. As cool as that is though, Uncharted 2 should come first

have fun with it

Forza 3...debatting on picking it up later.

I too got a new toy, but it wasn't the Forza 3 version. I bought the Arcade version, a 120GB hard drive, and Fallout 3 GOTY. I am enjoying it, hope you enjoy yours. Also, let us know how Uncharted 2 is, I still am not sure if I am going to buy it.

Wow! Good purchase there. I also got Forza 3 today, so we need to race soon!

Uncharted 2 will definitely be worth the wait Christine. I can't wait to hear what you think about it. It's my Game of the Year so far.

* MorkkiTH : Thanks I read your blog about Borderlands, it makes me doubt my earlier decision to not buy it, argh !!! So many games !!

* Bob : I really needed more space on my 360. I'm playing Forza 2 at the moment. I quit playing it way too soon in 2007. First I thought it was quite boring (the races) but I just came from Dirt 2 where the races are spectacular but now I have already changed my mind about Forza 2, it's great ! So I 'm really looking forward to play Forza 3 and.......Uncharted 2 of course !!!

* Max : you....you.... rascal !! If I wouldn't have my copy of Uncharted 2, you would rub it in huh ? You would just love to do that , isn't it?

* Kostas : You should check play.com, that's where I buy my games now. It's a UK based internet store. I would have to pay around 60 - 65 euro in a game store here for a new game, on play.com I only pay 52 euro!! You should have a look if they ship to Greece, the shipping is free, it's really worth it. Imagine how much euro you can save in a year if you , say, buy 10 new games. And I'm most of the time a very patient person but sometimes.....

* Randy : Thanks and I'll certainly enjoy it

* Gunny : I hope your games arrive soon "crosses fingers" I think it's almost impossible that I won't enjoy Uncharted 2, I was already crazy about the first one and everyone says the second is better in every part.

* John : 120 gb seems a lot but once you start downloading arcade games and dlc for retail games, it adds up very quickly. My first idea was to buy the 120 gb bundle but the price of the 250 one was so close that it was an easy decision to buy the bigger one.

* Phee : I will Only a couple of days and then.....phiiiiiieeeett boem! ratatatatatata

* Chandu : Yes, I got your message, thanks for the effort But you know how glitchy GS can be. And I'll surely enjoy everything I bought yesterday

* kfjl : thanks I hardly can wait to start Uncharted 2 but first I want to finish some other games.

* Nukku : I will

* Luc : just read your most recent blog, hehe, you got Forza 3 after all....enjoy !!

* Matt : those are pretty cool toys also I still have to play Fallout 3, I started it but I couldn't get into it right away,I'll have to give it a try later. You're not going to buy Uncharted 2 !?!!!? "faints"

* Denis : Thanks I love racing games but I'm not that good at it but sure if we're online at the same time - which will be most likely during the weekend - we can do some racing although I haven't tried out the MP of Forza.

* Ron : Even without having played Uncharted 2 I already know that it will be very high on my list for GOTY. I loved the first one already so much !!! But I'll keep you posted

Thanks for the advice, I know about play.com, it's where I got my used copy of Metal Gear Solid 4. But a strange thing happened last March. I ordered an other game offered by an individual seller, but I hadn't notice that my pre-paid card was empty, so naturally the order was on hold. I charged my card soon after, and I informed both the seller and the site with an e-mail, that I wished to continue with the purchase. They didn't answer to me. I sent them three, or four e-mails and they still didn't answer. I think that they will never do so. And the problem is that I can't re-order that specific game, because it appears always as reserved. I couldn't make them understand to unreserve it, to cancel the whole transaction, and let me buy it from the beginning. So this thing ruined my mood about this site, and I switched to eBay, where I buy mostly rare old games. I enjoy the whole procedure of searching into this huge site, and finding buy opportunities, the auctions, the "negotiations", the offers, and all these..Sometimes it's more fun, than playing the actual game that you ordered
As for the new PS3/X360 games, I buy them from the stores, but only after a price drop. Of course I could buy them much sooner from the internet for 50 Euros, but...I feel guilts. It's not that I don't spend this amount of money for games - some times I think that I spend a lot more for two "cheaper" games, that I don't really want to buy. It's stupid I know.

Ah, very nice! Yeah, 20GB doesn't last long these days. I swapped a 120GB into mine which gives me some breathing room, but 250 should last you a long time.

Enjoy Uncharted 2. I've heard nothing but good things about it. I enjoyed the 1st one, so I'll definitely be picking it up at some point.

congrats on that enjoy and take care.

Oh snap! It looks like an early Christmas for someone.

¨* Kostas : You're a stubborn Greek you know Why not only buy games on Play.com from the site itself and not from independant sellers?

* Steve : Yep, those 250 gb should last a very long time, that's the idea behind it. 20 gb is nothing now. Thanks, I'm sure I'll love Uncharted 2 How's Magna Carta 2 btw? I saw you playing it on xbl.

* Jen : Thanks

* Gary : Haha, that's what Phee told me also yesterday

Hoi Christine!

Congrats on your x360 le with Forza 3. I think the racing in F3 is truly amaaaazing! There is so much to do, racing, tuning, painting etc! What do you think?

Hoi Bas en dank je

I can't say much about Forza 3, I only played the demo but that alone was already great. I'm playing Forza 2 a lot at the moment, want to get further in that game before really starting to play Forza 3.

It's much more enjoyable than the 1st Magnacarta and far better than I was expecting. The voice acting is actually pretty good, combat's fun, but the story looks like it was written from the big book of JRPG clichés.

I already read some reader reviews here on GS and they were all quite positive. I'm waiting for the review from GS itself but I think I'm going to buy Magna Carta 2, maybe not immediately but in a month or 2 or so, I'm not sure yet. Anyway, thanks for replying

Great purchase there. I'd love to buy Forza Motorsport 3 because I loved the first two, but I've gotta save my money for the new Ratchet & Clank, Dragon Age, and Modern Warfare 2 in the next couple of weeks. And yes, Uncharted 2 is freakin' amazing.

Hey Anthony How's school going?
I'm going to buy Dragon Age as well but I know myself, I'll probably buy some games that aren't on my list now. Argh, stop with saying that Uncharted is so amazing (although it's true ) !!

WOW! We both have now upgraded to a XBox 360 Elite! Yours looks so awesome thought... and I hope you have a ton of fun with it. I wrote all of my games I am playing to the hard drive and it is so quiet now when I play! It also stays alot cooler too! Enjoy it to the fullest! I also am jealous because I don't have a PS3 and really do want to play Uncharted 2 but maybe someday soon!

Hey Sharon How's it with our newest mod ? I never have written a game to the HD (was a bit difficult with such a small HD) but now it's a possibility with the 250 gb. It's more silent, it saves the DVD drive and it stays cooler...definitely an option now !!
You really should buy a PS3, not only for Uncharted

Nice!. If you make any pretty decals/vinyl's, do show us. Enjoy your Forza, I love it, best racing game ever imo.

Hey Linky I only played the demo of Forza 3 and I'm very busy with the career mode in Forza 2 (it's now 2 weeks that I'm playing it daily) , it's a great game so I'm sure that I'll even enjoy Forza 3 more.

have fun

Hey and welcome Thanks, I'm certainly having fun with my brand new 360

Uncharted 2 is superb and amazing, Chris. You should play it some.

Matt, I played for quite some hours already, I'm at chapter 22 but the last time I played it , I went through some previous chapters to get the treasures. At the moment I'm involved in a 360voice (I sent you an email to watch your 360 btw a few days ago ) challenge. I'm in a group together with more than 20 other girls called "Play like a Girl" and we organize challenges that last 2 weeks, the winner gets an arcade game. You can imagine that my goal is to participate , not to win, I'm playing most of the time long games like Forza 2 (almost done !!) or long RPGs.
