You can get 2100 MS points for £17, so: Burnout Toy Cars = 1000 points = £8.10 (vs PSN's £9.99) PoP Epilogue = 800 points = £6.48 (vs PSN's £7.99) By contrast in the US their PSN prices have held steady, whereas ours are going up and up. At an absolute minimum Sony need to cap their prices to not exceed what the 360 sell the same thing for. In other words the Toy Cars should have been £7.99 and the PoP Epilogue should have been £6.49...

Hope you managed to get some PS3 time yesterday given your work commitments.

Neither have we seen the "Street Fighter IV" clothing (yet). Nothing on the "LittleBigPlanet" costume game pack either... I have my fingers crossed that we may get a pack like the "Metal Gear Solid: Paint of the Patriots" but with a "Killzone (2)" flavour. Flying bots & gun turrets that fire more paint would be ideal. I was a little undecided on "Wanted: Weapons Of Fate". The Playable Demo seemed to not be continuous level progression as the character's headgear changed between scenes like a poor continuity error. Game-play wise it was like a cross between "Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy" & "John Woo presents Strangehold".

Talk about stereotyping! ;)] I guess it will be available on Sky TV soon, so I need not worry that I missed out on the Limited Edition Blu-ray Steelbook edition. Finally, I have just read some news that a Playable Demo of "inFAMOUS" is planned. Hopefully that will silence a few critics that are making comparisons to "Star Wars: The Farce Unleashed". BFN, fp.

No news on European availability of the “Killzone 2″ clothing given as promotional code downloads for those in the US who pre-ordered from Amazon either.

Neither have we seen the “Street Fighter IV” clothing (yet).

Nothing on the “LittleBigPlanet” costume game pack either… I have my fingers crossed that we may get a pack like the “Metal Gear Solid: Paint of the Patriots” but with a “Killzone (2)” flavour.

Flying bots & gun turrets that fire more paint would be ideal.

I was a little undecided on “Wanted: Weapons Of Fate”.

The Playable Demo seemed to not be continuous level progression as the character’s headgear changed between scenes like a poor continuity error.

Game-play wise it was like a cross between “Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy” & “John Woo presents Strangehold”.

The take-down actions on the opponents were not as diverse as Jason Bourne, and I was hoping for a little more of the bullet-bending that feature heavily in the movie the game was based upon.

Finally, I have just read some news that a Playable Demo of “inFAMOUS” is planned.

Hopefully that will silence a few critics that are making comparisons to “Star Wars: The Farce Unleashed”.

I've downloaded the three big demos, for when I'm not Killzoning, or would be if it weren't down for the moment. Some more unbranded Killzone wallpapers please! And I'd like the cool tune from the Killzone credits for download too please. Good update.

Rex Harrison's defining film role was indeed in the fantastic My Fair Lady, as stated by The-Unknown. As the question was asking for the role itself, here it is: Professor Henry Higgins. Bonus points for me (but, sadly, no friends...) "Come on Dover, move yer bleedin' arse!" Given that no-one has actually answered the question correctly, I will claim the bonus points!
