Popped into Morrisons to see if they had Asura's Wrath at £17 as I've seen plenty of people picking it up for that price from there but no luck :( . Just the usual generic CoD games and the like in the chart.

I did however manage to get 2000 Wii/DSi shop points for a fiver. Bizarrely, the 1000, 2000 and 3000 point cards were all the same price but after much searching (and waiting on my part), it came back that there were no 3000 cards left. Bummer as I had hoped to pick up 3 of 'em. A fiver is still a great price though so I took the last 2000 point card with the intention of downloading Paper Mario on N64 and something else.

Why do I get the nasty feeling that as soon as this deal became well known, ebay dealers were snapping up all the big points to resell in their stores? :lol:

They more than likely were but I suppose you can't blame them as annoying as it can be.

I'm planning on also picking up a Neo Geo Pocket Colour tomorrow. This guy has a few of them I think two in silver along with one of the blue camo ones. I'm leaning towards the camo one. I would ebay one but the last one I bid on went for more than this guy is selling them so I won't bother with that.

It's an awesome deal, but none of my local Morrison's stores seem to sell Wii points.

Today I bought Extreme G (£2), Extreme G 2 (£3) and Wario Land 3 (£3). I've been meaning to pick up the XG games for a while, but on playing them I actually find them a bit... crap.

Extreme G 1/2 and Xgra are all rubbish. Extreme G 3 is fantastic though.

Yeah, I might pick up the third one next time I see it. It's usually cheap as chips.

Cheers for the heads up. :) I was able to get 6000 points for £14 back in January, so might strike lucky again!

Been on a bit of a 3DS spree lately:
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Mario Kart 7
Puzzle Bobble
Tales of the Abyss

I've also bought the Resident Evil HD bundle on PSN (Code: Veronica X and RE4). I'm sure they take longer to install than they do to download! >.<

Hope you enjoy this, its one of my all time favourite RPG's. Very linear to begin with and the main character starts off as an absolute douche but stick with it and incredible :D
