OK Chaps, some advice. I have a wii, two controllers, nunchuck with wii sports, mario kart, tiger woods 08, Pro Evo 2008 and Who wants to be a millionaire.
I want to sell this on as I need funds towards a new laptop - any ideas how much I should ask??

To be honest, I doubt you'll get more than £100.

100 would suit me fine.

Felt the need to come on here in shock. I just looked up wireless adaptors for the xbox360, so I can go online. I was expecting it to be £20 or something. Amazon want pretty much £80 for it!!!! Have seen it for £40, but even that is well out of order IMO.
For the time being, I shall be gaming offline!

Yeah they are well out of order with their pricing, I got lucky and found one on Amazon for a tenner from cash converters in Scotland, guess they didn't realise how much they usually go for.
You can use a wired connection, or is that not an option for you?
Edit: Seems to be a few on Ebay for 35 quid for 'Buy it now' or auctions starting at 99p.

I know, but location of my moden is not ideal for it.
Re: Gaming room (It's a geeks paradise)

Sorry, didn't even think about the wireless cost. That said, unless you're planning to play other people online then it doesn't need to be connected. Just move it near the modem when updates come out to download them & then move it back. A pain, but cheaper than that & only needs to be every few months if that.

Hey, you've nothing to sat sorry about. Yeah, I cann't really see myself playing online, so maybe that's the best way, just connect it when I want to download stuff...

Chat Sean up. He did have a spare some time ago. Failing that, check ebay and Sainsbury's.

Revisiting Deus Ex.
Grphically really showing its age, but as spoilt as we've become with bump mapping and blooming and physics and graphic in genereal post half life 2 and far cry, playing it reminds you of just how much is missing from most games, I'd even include Half LIife 2 in that. Decent story and writing and intrigue and interest and suspense.
Bioshock came close I guess, but I can't think of anything that matched this old fella since.

took me what, over a week to beat your score, and even then I've only just done it. I don't expect it to last

Right, I've just downloaded that.....GAME ON!
Btw, Playman Track & Field is worth a punt on the iphone. Nice calm, button-bashing action. Don't break another screen, Sean.

The key is to enter a zen like state and let instinct govern your actions. 'Think not, do'; or 'use the force' would both seem appropriate.
Sleep deprivation probably helps in this respect. Plus, as I've mentioned to SMG, the secret is play when you're having a number two!!

Also, fellow escapist reviewer REbecca Mayes with her weird musical reviews can be as scathing in its own way
