    Have any of you guys used CD Keys at all?
    They seem to have some great deals on online codes.

    Yeah - I've used them a few times for XBL codes. Never had a problem.

    If you want to spend ages starting at the PSN connection screen or don't mind your personal details being shared with the world after they've been hacked - then go for it! :D

    Currently downloading Elite Dangerous for the PC, may take some time though on a 2mb connection. I know single player mode got knobbled just before the final release but hopefully it will be as good as the original version that I enjoyed many years ago on my speccy.

    Am also trying to get a joystick for it and am looking for a Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X, but they seem to be like hot potatoes and are out of stock unless you want to pay silly money.

    I haven't paid to play online yet though.

    Done a few missions now so starting to get used to it again.

    Yeah it's really good online if you get tooled up, going round randomly killing people, then getting a bounty on you and taunting people as they try to kill you and collect the bounty, until some 10 year old yank kid comes along and wipes you out :D

    Done a couple of the Elite training bits and boy is it old school gaming. Apparently a fair few people are complaining that it is too difficult and they want an easy mode, but oldies are ecstatic that it is like it used to be and that you have to learn the game properly and not just go shooting the universe up :)

    Graphics etc. are good and so far I like it. I've also just got VoiceAttack and some voice packs so that I can partially control it via voice commands.
