Yeah but nearest to me is a 90 minute car drive. With the cost of petrol here 1.65 per litre = no saving
Ah I see. Some things are available online too, just bought Williams Pinball Classics for PS3 for £3.99 on Gamestations website. Online sales go well fast though - following a few guys on Twitter to get the fast deals.
Well I picked up Kid Icarus :Uprising and Resident Evil Revelations on 3DS and the horrid Circle Pad Pro attachment. I was forced to bUy the circle pad pro due to being left handed. Kid Icarus is a toal disaster control wise for lefties without. Even with it, because the circle pad pro puts the 3DS off centre, it basically forces you to turn 3D off....
Seriously I have to wonder what Nintendo's design team are up to these days.. Makes me fear for the Wii U.

Just joined the Vita club. 
Girlfriend bought me a Vita for my birthday, and I got Uncharted and Hot Shots Golf. I also recently got Journey on PS3, which I thought was pretty awesome.
I plan to purchase Super Stardust Delta for Vita, Kid Icarus for 3DS, and the Mass Effect Games for.. I'm not sure. I haven't played any of the Mass Effects - I'd like to play them on PS3 for the trophies, but ME1 isn't on there. Any suggestions? I do have a 360 that I could play on as well..
Oh! And for those who were asking, I Am Alive comes out next month (April) on PSN. I'll probably get that as well - regardless of the mixed reviews.

ME1 on 360 is pretty brutal. LONG loads, choppy framerate, terrible menu management. If you have a somewhat decent computer get it on PC. It always goes on sale for under $5. ME2 on PS3 does a decent summary thing but word is ME3 on PS3 runs like crap.
It's too bad the series went so action-heavy, the first game was outstanding.
It ran fine for me. It started out choppy when I imported my ME2 save, and changed skill set from my usual. I knew something was wrong as the demo wasn't as bad as when this started for me the first time with the retail version.
So I stopped shortly into it, and restarted with my import save once more and hey presto everything was much smoother.
From that on I had no major issues with frame rate.
Biggest bug bear is not the ending, but the continued lots of loading on board your space ship. Drove me mental in ME2 and is just as bad with ME3.
Thinking of buying Armored Core V. From reviews it seems to be more like ChromeHounds 2 than traditional Armored Core games, and I really got into ChromeHounds.
That's good to hear. Still, join the PC Master crew with a fancy SSD and all those worries just disappear

Yeah but you can't use a controller with pc version ;-) I like to immerse myself in the world of Mass Effect, been stuck at a keyboard and mouse is just too much like 'work'

Well better you do some work for once.
I know it's not for console gaming, but instead for the master race
A nice budget GPU upgrade to hold me over until I do a 3570k/3770k build eventually.

Playstation + gets better and better.
Shank 2 & full version of Shift 2 : Unleashed for free this month..
and I got 4 off the price of I am Alive too. Great stuff.
49.99 per year is so well worth it with PS+
Just hope more Vita freebies come with PS+ goodness .

A little excessive some may say ;-)
Pah! I fell in love playing it at Eurogamer, definitely in my Top 5 Games Ever list.
I do have the PS3 n Vita version too, but that's enough for me. Totally fab game though. Certainly best game of 2011.
Looks like Sony heard me. pS+ members now have access to cheaper vita downloads. First one is Michael Jackson.
I Just recently picked up La Noire again on the PC for 5 dollars. Amazon is having a giant sale for all their PC games, the Darkness 2 is only 12 dollars. Sadly I think it requires an american account, you can probably easily get one if your outside the US but I don't really know about that. I also just picked up Sim city 4 and Roller coaster Tycoon 2, it feels like I'm 8 years old again.
I set up my Panasonic Q again and I'm replaying a lot of my GC titles. WindWaker and Super Mario Sunshine and a touch of Starfox Adventures...
Finally caved and re-bought Persona 3 Portable so I can play it on my Vita. So good, so many hours. The gf bought Blue Dragon and is having fun, despite the HORRIBLE voice-acting and terrible story.
OH, and Mario Party 9. I like it actually. The mini-games are good for the most part and it moves quicker than previous games.

I checked Play-Asia the other night to find that a Limited Edition version of Aquapazza is now available. So I cancelled my pre-order for the regular edition and went for that instead.
Looks like I'm definitely going to be getting the US version of Persona 4: Arena as there's no UK release in sight
Raiden Fighters Aces might actually be released next month I've had to order it from Amazon.de, but there you go. It's still a PAL version, but the publisher only has the right for the German regions oddly. And I'm not waiting any longer for it considering this will work on my console.
