97p for King Kong. You'd ebay it for more than that. No stock round here :(

Got a free copy for the PC with a bunch of TFTs delivered at work. Played it through to the end but probably wouldn't again. Annoying as I would have liked the acheivements!

Even though I didn't like it too much, I'd buy it for 97p just to get the achievements and then trade it in towards something else (at a profit too). Might have to wait until tomorrow to reserve it though as I won't be able to get to PC World earlier than Saturday.

Edit: No copies left at Liverpool anyway. Ah well, can just add it to my Swapgame queue and get the achievements that way.

I'd take one at that price, if he can :) Like Davey says, you'd get profit at trade-in, let alone ebay.

None in Swansea although I was only going to get it for profit :p
I've played through it on the 360, it's alright, nothing special but for 97p and 1k very easy points, it's worth it imo.

Sadly Davey is right the option to collect at store is a no go and it seems the item is no longer available either :huh:

Getting this game certainly was interesting. Our printer here at work decided to screw up printing the reservation number and firefox decided it didn't want to stay open anymore :(

Anyway I decided to toddle off to the store to pick up my copy. Got there and stood at the advice & service desk to give them my name to pick up my copy. Standing there looking like a lemon reminded me why I never shop there anymore. There was one person on the desk already serving a customer and 7 people walking around doing nothing :shocked: 3 of them decided they'd go over to the till and help the guy there :angry: So I stood there for 10 minutes decided I didn't want to waste any more of my lunch hour and grabbed it off the shelf instead.

45 minutes later and this is what I have ;)

EDIT: I should mention should a certain Jen want a copy I could go back tomorrow and collect my original copy :p It's being kept till tomorrow evening.

There were something like 6 copies on the shelf so was glad I didn't wait to be seen :) I'll ask Mr Worrall if he wants his posting down.

Do you want the original reserved copy Jen?
