"I'm not getting into it..." *immediately gets 'into it'*

I know £13 for biscuits is daft (I've only ever had these when bought as a gift), but these are genuinely amazing. Delicious, with proper chili heat. https://www.fortnumandmason.com/lucifer-s-biscuits-250g For an everyday biscuit, the McVitie's Chocolate Digestive is king.

I've not played any of the Dark Souls games, and I'm not 100% sure I'll get on with it but the enthusiasm in here, and the other DS threads means I've just bought it and will give it a go...

Nice. I might have been there that night -David Lovering did a magic act as the warm-up. I saw them later (2011 by the look of it) when they played Doolittle from start to finish, also at Brixton Academy - one of the best gigs I've been to. I can't say I'm that taken with their new single. It's not *bad*, but I just find it a bit bland. They're a band I absolutely love, but I'm not interested in any of their original music post-Trompe le Monde (which is great, IMO).

I played Halo for the fifth or sixth time recently and still spent ages going round in circles on the escape pod bit. No, there isn't a map.

Well, this was excellent - season two in particular. A shame it doesn't seem to have captured the forum's imagination. Hank and Gene have been mentioned as great characters, but I think Sally came into her own in S2, some great performances from Sarah Goldberg.

Can't you plug the XM3s into the controller, using the lead they come with?

OK, it's not as Louis Litt, but Rick Hoffman does make an appearance in episode 7.

I got an S on launch day but, since putting in the pre-order, had a nagging doubt that I should have gone for the X. On their own, 4K / disc drive / bigger storage weren't that big a deal, but I felt I'd probably get an X at some point. After missing out on the extra launch day stock, I took it as a sign to stick with the S, which I was perfectly happy with. But then I checked Stockinformer at about 12.15am on Thursday morning and they said Amazon had stock. I managed to get one, and it arrived today. If nothing else, it's removed the nagging doubt, and the compulsiv

Wait until *actual* Louis Litt turns up!

Series X up on Amazon...

I had the same. Wondering if I've now got a load of pending payments against my card. Edit: Nope, nothing on the card.

I was wondering about the pre-orders being made available tomorrow as I'd seen that Game were saying they were for delivery in December - the 18th, I think. This guy is marketing lead for Xbox UK. He later replies that the allocation will 'almost certainly' be available before Christmas.

Ah, yes - Premium, not Arcade. I may be wrong, but my memory tells me the difference was about £30 when I bought it. I don't even have a 1080p TV right now (720p Panny Plasma all the way), but am likely to get a 4K set later this month. I know the S will be fine, but I'm inclined to try and get an X, if only so that I'm not always questioning my decision...
