What I bought today

I thought it was K-mart...I'll have to double check though.

That is a good deal. I'm not sure why Lego think it's a good idea to have such a disparity between the Oz and US prices. Since the Lego fan community is so internet aware, this sort of thing is bound to happen.

How's Modern Warfare 2? I'll get around to purchasing it one day!! Did you get the NVG's with it? Some guys at work did; they're not that great, which I was kind of expecting anyway!

MW2 is good, Finished the Singleplayer in a day, Waiting for my mate to get MW2 so we can do Spec-Ops (Co-Op), Multiplayer is pretty good. Except IWNET is annoying sometimes you get massive lag.

The NVG's were only for the "Prestige Edition" which was only for 360/PS3. And it cost alot more, And I only have PC.

Single day?! That's impressive! How was the gameplay? I found the first one had awesome graphics, but it was to simple to play.

Not really, I did it on the second easiest setting. (just checked my Steam account took me 5.8 hours for singleplayer, And 15.2 hours of multiplayer ) The thing that took me the longest was one of the first missions, climbing up a mountain it took longer for me to do then any other level, and there was no shooting or anything involved, just climbing up a mountain with icepicks, took me 30 mins. I was surprised how short the singleplayer is though. The graphics are amazing. Even me a highly experianced FPS gamer found some levels hard even on the second easiest setting. It is simple though, The instructions are fairly simple except only in one or two cases was I lost with what I was supposed to do...but figured it out within acouple mins. Also there are acouple of twists in the game which in some cases leaves you with your jaw on the floor screaming for revenge.

My BA Order arrived today. It cost $66 AUD. (Would've been less if I had bought from the Aussie Reseller but he didn't have some of the things I wanted, So I ended up paying alot more for shipping)
