I also got RE5 today, cost only €39.99 at Xtravision.
Got the 360 version as it got slightly better graphics than the PS3 version.
Finished MGS4 last night. I know its not everybody's cup of tea but it was absolutely amazing and I loved every minute of it. I still haven't a clue what the whole thing of the Patriots was about, but it sure was fun!
I've also been playing Killzone 2 but so far I have to say I'm not that impressed. Sure, its graphically and technically amazing, but so far its only so so and the story is utterly uninteresting and the controls are simply not up to scratch.
I've also been playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and that is a hugely underrated game. If you like Tomb Raider then you'll love Drake. Its got much better gameplay, particularly the shooting, which plays very close to Gears of War. The platforming is much better than Tomb Raider and you don't suffer from the frustrating instand deaths of Lara Croft just because you misjudged a jump by a tiny amount.
Jolly Bob Grumbine.
