I've spent the last few months picking up any half-decent game for my Xbox from places such as Woolworths - who were selling brand new games such as Fable and Half-Life 2 for 2 or 3 quid ! Have cleared-out all our local stores... Far Cry Intincts is excellent, by the way.
I've actually got two Xboxes now. My original one's DVD drive failed, so I brought it into work and stripped it down (under the guise of showing a couple of 6th formers how to fix a PC). Cleaned the lens and mirror with some fluid and it's fine now and lives at school.
Might buy a 360 in time, but have a new little daughter so cuddly toys and nappies come first...
