Thanks for the reply Roc, on closer inspection the 'disc-only' version isn't in as good of condition as the boxed one in terms of the actual disc, so I may end up just going with that.

And i'm looking forward to learning all the little nuances of the control system - just like with Skate. I have been wanting that first experience of learning everything about Skate again, so hopefully this will suffice!

Your reply is greatly appreciated.
