I just got 4200 MS points for £22.39 using a £10 promotional voucher and 10% discount. Quite the bargain I think. I'll probably use it to buy bastion and from dust (when they first get reduced in price of course!). edit: sorry about the double post. Wasn't thinking

You can trade fable iii in to amazon for a £13.60 gift certificate.

so basically you have two types of hash brown on your plate? That's all we wanted to know. Weirdo. I think I have a new one for this thread thinking about a discount I got today. I used a voucher to get £10 pounds off, but I see most American's on here mentioning using coupons. Oh and do as many IRL American's have coupon cutting sessions as they seem to constantly mention on TV or is it just some sort easy code for 'this person has to watch their money'?

Like Dean said. Bacon: yum, maple syrup: yum, bacon and maple syrup: ABOMINATION.

We have bacon in the UK as smoked, sweet cure or dry cure. Any of those three can be back or streaky. I would say as a general rule people eat dry cure in a sandwich and use smoked as an ingredient in cooking (as it is more salty it's a bit much on a sandwich) I'd say sweet cure is definitely the least popular in this country and it always makes my toes curl when I see people pouring maple syrup on bacon in American movies/TV programmes. Ewww. Also on Wikipedia, it says USAers use the term rasher of bacon to mean a serving of bacon (ie several slices) whereas in the UK a rasher is a single slice and is the most common way to refer to slices. That kind of reminds me about the confusion around rounds of bread/toast. A round of bread/toast is one slice but a round of sandwiches is two slices of bread (making one sandwich) but some people take it to mean one slice of bread still so you could end up with only half a sandwich!

I'm sure there's a joke somewhere in that post about a typical Halo player but no, before you assume, I didn't down vote any of your posts in here.

Fuck that noise. Most kids know most of the standard swears by the time they're five or six. Fucking swearing never hurt anybody and isn't likely to. Knowing swear words and seeing them normalised by being posted on websites by paid writers is not the same thing. No it doesn't hurt anyone to see a swearword neither does seeing anything ugly - that doesn't mean I want to see it or be subjected to it every day.

I always thought titbit was correct but that some people (mostly in USA) use tidbit because they are embarrassed to say/write TIT ::snicker:: Dunking biscuits in tea is completely gross - it ruins the tea and the biscuit. If I have a biscuit with tea I have it after I've drunk the tea else the sweetness of the biscuit makes the tea taste more bitter.

I hope I like it. It should be interesting at least.

This article is quite interesting about who get in or is chucked out of metacritic's pool of reviewers it uses.

I watched TimeCrimes quite a while ago so I don't remember exactly how it went but I'm sure I remember thinking it just got a bit ridiculous. Enjoyable nonetheless.

I don't know why you think it is a good thing that the WiiU may force the other console manufacturers to release their consoles sooner - we all know what happened last time MS rushed out a console.

I don't post most of the CDs I buy but I'm posting this one as the cover is awesome plus I'm super glad it actually arrived as I had to use an importer I'd never heard of.

Just got Stacking. I may get around to playing it soon as I am nearly done with watching the first five seasons of Bones.

Stacking is reduced to 600 points from 1200 on xbox.

Thanks, I hope the walkthrough will help me enjoy it more.

@FLD: How did you get on with the online trophies? Some of them seem like you'd have to set them up rather than they occur while playing naturally.

I'm just slightly surprised that the XBLA version would be cheaper than on PC so I thought it may be gimped in a significant way. I guess it seems like a fairly streamlined game so may be OK on gamepad, but I won't make my mind up until they're out anyway.

It'll only be 1200 MS points (about £10) on xbox LIVE. Is it any different on the PC to warrant the extra money?

I'm playing Chrono Trigger for the DS at the moment, but so far am not getting the "best RPG ever" vibe from it. I'm in a factory and have got kind of lost so maybe that it putting a downer on it. I guess I'm quite near the start so I hope it picks up story-wise.

The Last Window on DS for £9.99. That's really cheap and I remember when I bought it it was quite hard to get hold of.

I just pre-ordered Child of Eden for PS3 thanks to WTF's bargain spotting skills. I'll probably forget I've pre-ordered it by September's release date though. As long as they don't charge a higher price (I don't fully trust play.com) it will come as a nice surprise. I wonder if they'll change the box art as surely the guy on the front is doing the kinect gameplay.
