Title: Times must be hard.....
Post by: Marks DTM Calib on 31 January 2009, 12:36:31
.....popped into Nottingham city centre this morning and it was dead!

HMV had Guitar Hero III (with guitar for the Wii) for 35 quid so thought it would be rude not to  (a good deal from HMV!)

That makes a refreshing change then cos everytime I used to go into town it was a bloody nightmare.......

We go to Derby now instead cos theres a fantastic (?) carpark at the end of the A52 and its never busy there.

Went to our local retail park last Saturday and it was 'heaving'  :o could not get parked, had to wait till someone went, and it has a huge car park.
I refused to go today incase it was the same, more so as it is the end of the month. ::)

My son ordered some guitar hero with guitar last night for 32 quid off some cheap website. He said "he didn't like guitar hero games but if he plays it gets some achievements on his Xbox then puts it on ebay he ain't gonna lose nothing" lol  ;D

Played Guitar Hero (2 I think) on the gayStation, brilliant fun, esp if you've sunk a few of Leuven's finest first.

Be interested what you think of the Wii version MDTM, as I've never seen it.

Exactly,its just surprising that quite a few people dont seem to realise thar. :y
Although in an age when "playing the decks"is often thought of as being a musician its hardly surprising I suppose. ::)

One reason we haven't even considered buying it, mainly as one boy wants to learn and a real one would be 100x more fun (if you can play)

No real equipment needed for games?  If you want a golf club, or a gun etc, and pack of all common bits can be bought for £15.  The Wii controller just clips in them.

The expensive one is the Wii Fit.

Ah, thatll be it then, Wii fit is the only one ive seen in action, looked pricey. Clever though. Do they do a stearing wheel or do you just hold the controller with two hands and tilt it?
