So I went into Game yesterday (after about 4 miles of back-and-forth to fetch my cashcard), armed with the knowledge that I'd got enough trade-in goodness and actual money to buy Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time. And, since it's now at 29.99, even on Gamecube, I was surprised by how much cash I'd got to buy it.
What also surprised me was that I ended up buying Hitman:Contracts for Xbox, price 19.99. I don't even own an Xbox. Why, then, did I buy the sequel to a game I had no interest in playing in the first place on a system I don't have access to? Why, for 200 loyalty points, that's why! So I got them both home and...
Wait.

Then I traded Hitman:Contracts back in. For 20 quid. Net profit - 1p. And the 200 loyalty card points. I don't know. I guess the guys in the shop worked out a neat little scam which got them some kind of commission bonus for flogging their latest offer. They're welcome.
PoP is, naturally, the bomb. But it's tough. At points. Argh.

PoP is indeed the bomb. MrsMarv has completed it with judicious use of every single cheat available to her.
I looked at a walkthrough for the bit I'm stuck on (he has to fight his dad along with a hojillion sand monsters), and it basically said "Kill them, then.."
Gah!
She had a War and Peace length walkthrough printed out and a cd with cheats loaded up. She just enjoys the adventure and doesn't want it spoiled by not being able to beat up a stupid baddie.
