    Weird, just tried it and it's letting me get to the ordering page just fine.

    Guitar Hero 3, Wii - £57.81 delivered

    Use code "PP-02-DISCOUNT" for 2% off.

    But I can't say for sure if it's the cheapest price. HMV/Zavvi with student discount (of 10%) might be better, that's just the best online price.

    Just bought Legends. If I find out you guys have lied to me I... I might hug you all less hard next time there's an awesome deal in here.

    That'll show you.

    Are you a student? If so I think it's £60 in HMV/Zavvi and you'll get 10% off, so it'd be £54.

    Lewiep will probably come along and blast that out of the water now :)

    Bastard beat me to it :p

    Hitman: Contracts, PC - £3 delivered

    Is this a good entry to the series? I haven't played any of the Hitman games.

    Sorry for the late reply. Contracts is a snip at £3 to say the least but while your at it can I recomend you also get Hitman Blood Money (PC) £9.99 (Delivered).

    All the Hitman games are worth picking up if you see them for less than a tenner but the AI in Silent Assasin/Contracts tends to be a little unpredictable. All of the faults of the earlier games were improved in Blood Money however, with some really inventive flexability allowed for how you off your target.

    That and the New Orleans mission needs to be seen to be believed.

    I was waiting for the normal edition to drop in price, but this is even better.

    Nope, I have no idea what to expect, but any oppertunity to brown nose the cream of the crop of british video games industry insiders is something I am going to jump at.

    Also, Mr Biffo.

    Also also, there is a write up of last year's event here

    Yeah, just been reading that, it looks wicked.

    And as an avid reader of Edge I have to say a hearty fuck yes to Mr Biffo as well.

    I'll sort that when it gets to it, but vague plan was to stay overnight, I have a few friends I would probably be able to crash with.

    OK. If I actually go, I'd probably need to hook up with you. I doubt I'd be able to find a cheap hotel at such short notice, and close by. The awards finish at 1am, so staying overnight seems like the most sensible option.

    If I'm looking up train fares, which station do I want? thetrainline.co.uk doesn't list the tube station that they tell you on the website, so I'm guessing I'd need the nearest above-ground station, but I don't know what that is.

    Centipeed, it doesn't matter. Just get a train vaguely into London - the Tube will sort you out from there.
