Thanks for the tip. Been considering getting a 360 for a while and this sounds a good deal. Do you know what the 5 games are?

No GTA IV or Halo 3 then? :(

Still seems like a great deal though.

Oh and thanks for including the age ratings because obviously, ahem, I was thinking of getting it for my son. :wink:

I have posted on here previously about best mate being a games designer - did Need for Speed for example. He consequently gets monster discount on consoles / Games etc for himself (Namely - FREE) but can also get 3rd party discount so I have just invested in the xbox / kinect 250GB and bits that is £299 in Argos for only £220. Very Happy.

I am looking for suggestions on the best games to invest in as I want to get a set of 5 or 6 to see me through.

Also if anyone else is looking to get some games or a console then feel free to drop me a line - perhaps admin might want to upgrade in his holiday villa :wink:

I would suggest the Mass Effect series. 1 & 2 are out already and 3 is due out in March.

Also Skyrim has me hooked at the moment, but took a little while to get into it.

If by invest you mean time wise you can't go wrong with Mass Effect or Assassins Creed. They aren't the sort of game where you get a 30 minute campaign and then go online.

What type of game are you looking for?
