I managed to get the game I wanted in the end though.. DH traded in a couple of his games at gamestation so I could have it (ended up paying 99p for it.) even though there's a game out he's been going on about costantly for weeks.... bless his heart. He's not the romantic type so I'm going to take this as a 'romantic gesture'... lol.
Thanks for all your advice
