Did you see "I assume you'll want at least one other pad." So why did you say: the CORE comes with 1 wired pad so why buy another one?

"Even as stupid an Xboy as you must have one friend! ;-)" But I suppose you seem not to as you seem to question the purpose of a secondary controller.


Yeah, hes a moron, but your friend is supposed to buy his own system, and bring the lot over so we can play System Link.

I think that it should, and will be less than £170 - I would like £130 or £140. I think they're overestimating the price now, so that when it's cheaper than people are expecting, people are more likely to buy it on impulse. Here is some maths below, to show why it should be less than £170.


Nintendo Wii £130
Xbox 360 £280+
------
Total £410
= less than PS3 price

or even:

Nintendo Wii £130
NDS lite £100+
------
Total £230
= Less than XBox 360 full package

Whereas:

PSP £150
PS3 £425+
HDTV £500
------
Total £1075
= enough for 1150 vodkas on a Thursday night in Brighton, a couple of kebabs and a taxi home. QED.
