^ Yeah, well at least in the UK it does. Its around £30-£40 for 12 months depending on where you buy it from. Not sure how much it is in Canada though...

Haha 5 pounds is like 8 dollars.
And okay, thanks for clarifying. I don't see a purpose for me to get Xbox live anyway.

And another thing I just thought. Couldn't people just game-share to get them all? Where you log onto a friends account and re-download the game from the "my purchases" section.
I remember a couple of games you could only download once and I think Wipeout was one of them. But what's there stopping people do it with the other games?

Sony were stupid for letting people access through the website with "retrieve password" available using the details hackers stole. They really needed to just allow the change through a console, or an "email response with random generated password/exclusive link.
Idiots.
Idiots.

^ Yeah, I've heard a few differernt prices been reported from different sites. Ranging from £750 Million to £2 Billion.
I think it will affect sales on PSN in the coming months to be honest. People will be worried about entering card details now to purchase things from the store.

Started Portal 2 and completed it within 7 hours yesterday and thought it was really good. Still retains all the dark humour and sarcasm of the first one, but what made Portal so good was it short and sweet it had good replay value, where was Portal 2 is more tedious (especially in those lower level maps). A lot of the maps were just 'find small patch of wall' or 'use two portals to jump long distance'.
But still good non-the-less.
8/10 (I've not had the chance to play co-op yet, as sister got it from LoveFilm)

Coar this is addictive... Loving it so far as the cases have been relatively compelling and not stupid...
The face technology is brilliantly done and seeing all the little tweaks of the face of the characters is something that is so unique and will probably be used a lot more in the future...
Gameplay is very similar to GTA in the driving and shooting aspects, but there is not much else similar... The game allows you various difficulties of finding clues with music and vibrations, and questioning people is actually pretty difficult...
Overall, I'm enjoying it a lot...

Portal 2...need I say more? Probably...
I have played through the singleplayer and coop. Both unique and fun. Coop is so much better with a friend or else it's just plain frustrating because people are dumb, lol. I think it has great replay value and I have enjoyed going for the achievements...have most of them and they are easier to get that in Portal but I think the game is amazing and should definitely be in the runnings for the best game of the decade. If you haven't given it a chance, DO!

Well 2 games recently:
Brink
I dont care what people say about this game, it's so much fun, if not a bit difficult. The single player is solid and a failure doesn't necessarily feel like a failure. But go one line with real players who use strategy and have ideas what they are doing suddenly the game just escalates. The characters customization is endless , I have yet to see a similar character from anyone. Why this game has been getting so much **** is beyond me.
9/10
L.A. Noire
Picked it up for $6, but I don't understand the hype, so far the story is just a hodgepodge of random cases, with barely a connection. The game play is typical rockstar, clunky controls and shooting. I can already begin to feel repetition, get a case, look for clues, question people, drive somewhere else, wash, rinse, repeat. The questioning is very difficult. Thus far the game is just okay, lets hope it gets better before it falls into the same category of Red Dead Remeption and GTA IV of "To repetitive to finish"
7/10 (so far)
