So make a US account. I've got a European account on my system for the times there's something interesting over there that I can't check out over here. It takes a few minutes but once it's there it's there forever.

Not that bothered about the 250gb to be honest. I have that size hard drive in my PS3 and in the year and a half I've had it, I've struggled to fill it.
The guys at Game seemed pretty hellbent on selling me the Forza/COD4 deal earlier. "only £20 deposit". They seemed to quiet down when I told them I don't get paid until Wednesday...

I am not sure at all where the RTS label is coming from - I can't see this mutating into one. But even if it does, I am sure it will be done well. The demo is as funny as hell. Jack Black is perfect. This is the game that I want NOW.
Good to hear! I'm looking forward to this one. How's the gameplay? With Psychonauts I felt that while the story, setting, design, pretty much everything was fabulous, the gameplay were far worse than that of the typical platform game, on my scale at least.
Well as far as the demo gameplay - its fun. Its not anything revolutionary. The combat has some nice effects, all very intuitive. Driving is easy, simple, fun. Really it is the jokes, voiceacting and incredible atmosophere that carry it - and that's fine by me.

Game did have the Elite with Call of Duty 4 and Fight Night 4 for £200, but in all their wisdom they've decided to stop doing it.
If you ask they'll usually do you a bundle with pretty much whichever games you want.

They didn't budge. I pointed out how I wasn't interested in the other games they were offering but they said there was no room for manouvre. In the end I got the Fight Night 4 and Tiger Woods bundle. Not a great selection of games to start off with, but I've ordered Saints Row 2 from amazon for £12, bought Crackdown in Argos for £8 and I'm downloading that free Fable 2 episode!

That attitude must be local to your shop then, as my local one always gave individual deals.
They work on commission, so it's in their interest to get your sale. Best option would have been to say about earning commission and then started to walk out of the shop.

It probably didn't help that this was a few days before I actually bought the console, because they knew I was there just enquiring - they fed me all that shit bundle bollocks. If I'd have walked in with £200 they'd have been a mite more helpful.
