Good deal at Morrisons!
Xbox 360 Elite 120GB
Wireless Entertainment Pack (Includes Pure & lego Batman & Extra Controller) for a total of £169.99
Very nice, that's not far off what I paid for my Pro 12 months ago.
Just got Borderlands for £23.99 from Game :D

Not technically games but Play have Logitech Harmony 515 remotes for £28
Nice. Tempting. I've got one of those Marantz things everyone raved about but it took so much effort to program that I never bothered.
I'm guessing the Logitech is rather more friendly. :)

Nice find - spec me a remote operated optical switch box and I might have to hug you :D
Try Maplin. Recently got a remote operated HDMI switch box from them so it's worth a shot.

Brilliant! I've just ordered one of those. I was on the lookout for one at a reasonable price.
Hmm, 515 or 785, or even two 515s. Decisions, decisions.
(I could easily fill all five slots on a 515, but I only regularly use 3-4 devices).

The remote is back up to £35 now from £28!
Keep your eyes peeled for cheap L4D 2 please boys & girls - I'm after the game but I don't wish to part with 40 notes for it! ;D

Good luck with that, can't see it anywhere under £37.99 and doubt it'll drop anytime soon :(
Left 4 Dead 2 360 - £15?!

Soulja posted it on OcUK so posting it here, has to be a mis price but worth a shot?

Don't really like Left4Dead but i've given it a shot anyway. For that price i'm sure i'll get my moneys worth eventually. Anyways, it'd be nice to get the 360 fired up again, it's been a while.
Even if you didn't like it you'd be able to sell it on and make a few quid :p

This is also relevant to my interests. I reckon with a few good people L4D would be a blast but i could never find nice people on the PC (all grumpy sods these days i swear) and didn't want to risk it on the 360, once bitten and all that. For this price, well let's say i'm really hoping it isn't a misprint.

Yoink, ordered. I've already got a review copy but if I can get the full retail version for £15, I could sell the review copy as I much prefer having the proper disks and boxes wherever possible.
Yoink :D Wasn't planning on it as I don't play online much at the moment but seemed daft not to that price. Can always sell it on in the New Year if it's still unplayed.
Ordered one for me and for my bro. Xmas taken care of for 1 of 5.
Hmm, 515 or 785, or even two 515s. Decisions, decisions.
(I could easily fill all five slots on a 515, but I only regularly use 3-4 devices).
On my 525 I just programmed the 5th slot to work for both my 5th and 6th device. If you don't need every button for every device it's easy to do :)
Probably a mis-price, but I've had a punt at that Tesco deal anyway :)

Same :) I'd be really surprised if they honour it though.

The 525 supports 10 devices anyway, but I get your point. Price has gone up anyway now so no point (I can get a 525 for the same price Play want for the 515).
Buttons are a bit small on the 785 but I prefer the layout. I could do without needing another socket to charge the thing though so that's a big plus point for the 5-series. Will have a ponder as I shouldn't be spending too much money right now.

My remote was posted out today so should get it Wednesday :D
Please let me know what you think. I've seen one 'in the flesh' so to speak, but that's nothing compared to real user experience. :)

Will do Mark :)
It's replacing a cheapo one we got from Aldi around a year ago.

OKami on Wii can now be had for £13-£15 from nearly all the usual places.
Have dropped some hints at the missus. ;)
Order cancelled for L4D2 :(

Was yours ordered through Tescos?? Was it a mis-price then??
Disappointing but to be expected really as it was a misprice :/
Massive boos to not honouring my purchase of days ago! :(

Haha I thought that said massive boobs!
That's because you're both obsessed with boobs!
Good work :cool:
Modern Warfare 2 on the 360 currently £29.99 for the day at play.com :)
http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/8771809/Call-Of-Duty-Modern-Warfare-2/Product.html
Would expect it to sell out quite fast though!
Tesco have taken £15 from my bank account ****** OFF is an understatement

Just checked. Me too....
Same with me but they also put it straight back in, so I assume refunds are forthcoming :)

Forza 3 Limited Edition is £29.99 at Game at the mo.
Blockbuster's got a sale on at the moment.
Didn't get a huge look at things as they were still putting stuff out, but from what I've gathered:
Fair amount of sub £10 blu-rays (don't know any titles though yet)
Lots of Wii and DS games for either £5 or £10 (mostly kids stuff but it's provided some cheap presents for my cousins)
Fair few PS3 games: most notably imo Little Big Planet £10 and Uncharted 1 for £5
Didn't get a look at the 360 games.
Oh and Uncharted 2 is currently £24.95 pre-owned :)
Anyway, probably worth a look if you've got one local to you.

Saw in Comet today that Prince of Persia on the PS3 was £5 and Madworld on Wii was also £5. There were a few Wii and DS games, no 360 games.
Left 4 Dead 2 - £28.99 at Gameplay :)

I got Lego Batman for £4.98 for the Wii.
There was a few others, but nothing I wanted.
Still looking for a cheap copy of Super Mario Galaxy...
Didn't see any decent games left in the Blockbuster but some decent pre-owned blu-ray offers: 3 for £20 on older titles (Mamma Mia, X-Men, quite a lot of random older things that I can't remember :p) and 2 for £20 on newer/better titles (The Dark Knight, Bolt, Public Enemies, Wolverine, Watchmen, Drag Me to Hell, Coraline, Knowing, Boat That Rocked etc)....with an extra 20% off making them 3 for £16 and 2 for £16
Not bad really :)
Need to get a ps3 really, I do want to switch to BR. Been saving, will hopefully pick one up early next year :)
Blu-ray is a nice bonus :)
Audio and visual quality really is noticeable with some films even with a fairly average HDTV and no separate sound system.
I've actually only just bought my first Blu-rays in that offer (The Dark Knight and Watchmen), although Nokkon's lent me a pile and been renting a fair few, but certainly be buying more if prices keep coming down like this :D
I ordered GoW2 for like £12.95 with free delivery from Zavvi last night \o/
hurrah. bargain.
wasn't a massive fan of the first, but visually it'll be awesome and for under £15 i can't complain too much ;D
Liberty city stories £20 in Tesco, its £18 online but if you want it asap its a good price.
Just spotted this on Amazon
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Office-2007-Student-Licence/dp/B000HCZ8EO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1261170523&sr=1-1
£55 for a 3pc licence of office (minus outlook)
For me outlook is the only real bit I am interested in, but I've seen 2007 for £41 on amazon.
Just had an email from Zavvi. Deal of the day...
Bayonetta 360/PS3 for £17.99...
I'm tempted; anyone convince me?

If that price doesn't convince you on top of all the high reviews and 10/10's then nothing will :p.

That's an awesome deal, sorely tempted myself even though I have too many games to play already.

£17.85 at Shopto
Batman too is £18...
Arkham asylum? Cool, been meaning to purchase that since September!
Maybe or maybe not a bargain.
Asus ATI 5850 are in stock at Scan (or the other place) for £219.71 this weekend:
http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/632094/scan-today-only-asus-ati-5850-o-c-b
It's not bad, but not a massive bargain really, it's only around £5-£10 cheaper than other cards. The main selling point is really just the fact anywhere actually has some.

You're probably right about it not being a real bargain in the true sense of the word.
The 5850's are finally appearing in stock (and at near release prices) after almost 6+ months of being out of stock at most places OR overly priced where available.
Picked up an XFX 5850 end of October for £210 (for family gaming pc) but had to wait until last week to pick up my own Asus for £218. If I had made my mind up sooner last year then I wouldn't have had to wait ages to pay a reasonable price.
ignore! just posted in wrong thread.
Though saying that LBP is £9.99 at game atm!
just short of £90 for an 880gb 2.5" disk? Seems good to me, might pick this up. 1 Day Only though.

Just found this:-

All-in-one printer. With OEM cartridges it's not too bad but I'm mainly interested in it as a cheap scanner / photocopier.
