Mine has just arrived from Argos(full system) :j ordered on the 2nd and I received a dreaded ad order no.

Depends what he likes really??
I have the following games for my Premium pack:

Fifa 06 (Ideal if he likes football)
Project Gotham Racing 3 (The reason I bought my 360)
Tiger Woods 2006 (Which I haven't actually opened yet)
Amped 3 (Snowboarding and very good it is too)


There's other good stuff too like COD2,Perfect Dark,Need for Speed Most Wanted etc etc...

If you aren't in a rush ie You don't want a game today,it may be worth looking at Virgin Mega stores online as I ordered Amped 3 before xmas.It was on their website at £39.99 (Normally £45-£50 in the shops) and I found a voucher code to get £5 off which brought it down to £34.99 delivered.I got the voucher code from https://www.hotukdeals.com if that helps

Good luck

Apologies for going slightly off topic but MS just announced the arrival of a HD-DVD add-on drive for the xbox 360 at the CES yesterday. It's supposed to only be for playing HD movies, but my guess (and a lot of others) is that it will eventually be used for games as well. The reason I post this is that it would seem inevitable that MS will replace the DVD drive in the unit with this drive fairly soon (6 months maybe) as systems with 'add-on's' (Sega 32X etc.) often die a death. So if you haven't got yourself a Xbox 360 yet it might be worth waiting a few months to see what happens. Personally I still want one but rising costs are making me think twice.

I've got mine already so I think I'll just buy them to sell on :-) January's always a bad month for money isn't it!?

I would not bother buying them to sell on as the prices are dorpping on ebay now and some are going for only £50 over the RRP price then you have to pay ebay fees, paypal fees then you have to watch out for scammers and you could get hit with a paypal chargeback down the line. It seems like a bit of hassle if you will only make a bit of money for them as they are starting to hit the shops more regulary
