Well it's my birthday so I'm treating myself to a new game. I could get it for 50 000 won at Yongsan but if anyone has a used copy hanging around that would be great too. I live in Bundang. Anyone have one?

Sorry I don't have the game to sell you (my box is modded), but the graphics are the best I've ever seen on the xbox.

Buy it retail if you can't find someone to sell second-hand. Just stunning scenery and atmosphere. I couldn't stop playing it.

The environments are stunning, but I thought the character animations were a bit stiff and outdated. It's still a fantastic game though. The unique story and mechanics with the flash light are really cool.

I tried on the weekend to buy it here in Bundang but both Emarts were sold out. I went to AK plaza this morning and it was 10:10 a.m. but still not open. I do know that it's there on the 5th floor for 55 000 won so I will pop in tonight. I'm doing a 3 week camp for my unversity so I will have time to play then. Now I'm still playing Red Dead Redemption.

Just curious...your verdict? I think I'm getting ready to start the last episode.

I just played Episode #1 this morning and it has me hooked. I'm not a huge Resident Evil fan so I was worried it was going to be mostly like this but it's not at all, though I'm playing on normal. I feel like I'm immersed in a movie. The story/acting voice acting is superb and reminds me of the Condemned series! Fantastic.

Glad you finally got a copy. Would've sold you mine but my girlfriend has yet to play it and she really loves horror. It reminded me a lot more of Silent Hill than Resident Evil, and even though the acting and occasional product placements were both silly at times, it was a fantastic experience and well worth the purchase price.

I love the "Night Springs" episodes. They add depth to some of the psychological elements of the story in such a cool, quirky way.

While the action does get a bit repetitive, the story really drives the game and always keeps you moving forward. Top notch game.

I'm almost finished and really looking forward to my next conquest, the new Transformers game. 9.0 on IGN and they don't hand those out lightly.

If anyone else has it and wants to sell it or trade for other games...I totally want this.

How much playtime?

It's fairly linear...I'm on the final episode and I've probably put in about 12-15 hours. I would say up to 20 if you go achievement hunting and what not.
