I've never actually bought a Skate but I always really like the demo I guess for just a skating game £40 seems a lot and by the time they get reduced I forget about them. I think I might give Skate 3 a purchase though it looks to be shaping up pretty nicely.

Well, I have Skate 1 & 2, so it troubles me whether or not to buy the new one. It would be more or less the same, with teensy bit of improvements perhaps, and it is quite clear that EA simply wants to suck all the money from your wallet, by launching a new game rather than releasing an expansion pack or similar.
