Right, I'm going to try my best to update this...
White Rabbit = £400 (Spent £000.00) Balance = £400.00
...because it's just not true at all.

Test drive unlimited 2 £10 (I sold it almost straight away but it still set me back about a tenner)
Motorstorm: Apocalypse £35? (I can't remember the exact price...bought on launch, though)
LA Noire and Xbox live points £43 (it was a deal at a supermarket on launch)
...and with those points added to ones I already had I bought Bastion and, much later, Crysis.
Battlefield BC 2 £17.99
As I seriously needed to replace my old 360 I've ordered the Gears of war 320gb console with the game for £225. Only went with this one because it's a good deal for what you get for the price but I'm finally starting to like the look of it too :lol:
Ordered Dark Souls for £37.99 last night and lastly...
Batman: AC £37.89

I think that's it so far but I'll update again if I remember anything. Haven't spent that much time gaming this year but the latest releases and those up until Christmas should sort me out nicely. :mrgreen:

Ok, so what's that make it?

400 - 406.87 = £-6.87

:lol:

I'm pretty sure I sold a load of games earlier in the year, so that money should have come off what I have spent, but as I can't remember...

White Rabbit = £400 (Spent 406.87) Balance = £-6.87
