Don't know about anyone else but I'm gonna be getting Dirt 2 on 11th September, if you haven't downloaded the demo of Live yet get it, it's not the mos't realistic of racing games but the pace of the game seems prety emazing.

It might make a good 2 for £20 later next year if I'm a bit bored with GT5.

Yep, got the demo and pre-ordered the full game straight away. Looks great.

Nice & cheap from Shopto as well...

I've been playing it pretty much non stop this week. It's great fun.

All the way through I was kind of pissed of with it being a "Colin McRae" game but with loads of stupid events in it. Sure the odd reference to him but nothing much.

Then I won the Colin McRae challenge. You get a Colin Related FMV which was pretty touching actually.

RIP Colin. frown

Mine was £31.80... from shopto. Not too unreasonable.

Me to.. The only full price games I'll be buying are COD5, Forza and the new unchartered.

I've finally got round to unwrapping it... Maybe if I can eat, do some sit-ups and iron a shirt I can give my considered opinion at some point this evening!

Never used them, are they a bit dodgey?

I've read things about card fraud... but I'v enot had any issues as yet.

Been playing a bit now and have won both events I've done so far. I'm loving it, I must admit. I think the gameplay is awesome.

I had card fraud with shopto, though they denied it (unique email addresses per store tell all). Never use them again. smile

Picked it up in ASDA, little miffed that it was £35 online but £40 in store! Seeing as I had gone just to get the game I bought it anyway. Seems fun, handling feels strangely disconnected and gravity is somewhat lacking (I did a barrel roll on a rally stage after clipping a rock, and carried on with no damage).. no doubt I'll keep playing until Forza / GT arrive.

Well I've read that the managing director of shopto was banned from being a CEO of a company for fraud of some sort, yet is still techniclly running a shop.

If you google it, you'll see that there are people who haven't had problems, but then there are also people who've had pretty big problems. Also, I've read that they sometimes send out foreign copies of the games.

I would never buy anything from them. When I first saw their website and prices, I immediatly thought this must be too good to be true,a nd had a google and found out that it probably is.

I had my card details used fraudulently, so looked at the places I shop at online that were also near the place the card was used, and shopto was just down the road.

Now, maybe this was coincidence, but I am taking no risks and have stopped using them. Although reading the other threads in this post about them, whether true or rumour, it seems I have made the right decision.

Shame really, used them for years frown

My card was used to buy phone credit.

Just found this as well : http://www.digitalspy.com/forums/showthread.php?p=...

It appears shopping with shopto and your card being used for phone credit is not a new thing ?

No proof, but no smoke without fire I guess ?

this sounds like a good game, but i can only really afford one game and at the moment its a toss up between this and the new batman game
