A new thread for the latest bargains, seems better than making new threads all the time.
Anyway, best bargain of the gaming year perhaps?...
Deal: Xbox360 Wireless Controller, Lego Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda
Price: £24
Where: Asda (In-store only - ask at counter)
Asda are actually selling Wireless Controllers on their own for £32. My mate bought 2 of these deals last night.

Bloody hell, that's a corking deal. CEX would buy Lego Indy and KFP for a combined £23, making it £1 for a wireless controller. Shame I'm not going to Asda any time soon.

I forgot to say, Indy and Kung Fu Panda are a joined double, like the Forza 2 and Viva Pinata doubles seen in shops.
It's amazing considering Indy is hardly an old game (nor is KFP) and is actually very highly rated. If Xmas wasn't coming and I had a disposable income I would buy one because my right trigger squeeks on each and my left joystick is dodgy-ish on one of them from over use.
Half Life is on Steam for 76p until Friday.
If you ask Von nicely, games are even cheaper ;)

For you PS3 gamers, both Little Big Planet and Motorstorm 2 are £28 each at shopto. Insanely cheap price for such new games.
Brilliant offer there Nokkon!
My contribution so far, somewhat Blockbuster slanted :o
Deal:Grand Theft Auto 4 on 360 or PS3 - pre-owned
Price:£12.99 or 2 for £18
Where:Blockbuster
I got the Indy/KFP bundle (no pad) for £12 :D Will check where from tomorrow (on phone atm), saw it on hukd though.

The Darkness is part of it, I know that much :p.
One other way of getting it cheaper:
Their Christmas catalogue that should be at the entrance has a £2 off voucher for pre-owned games, so £10.99 with that :)
My mind is completely blank for the rest of the display, think I was focusing too much on lining up dvd boxes :o

Half Life is on Steam for 76p until Friday.
:D
I only half played the original (excuse the pun) and lost my install disk.. so I'll be taking up ths offer :)
The Darkness is part of it, I know that much :p.
Actually it's not :p
It's in the 5 for £25 range not the 2 for £18 range anymore.
In case anyone other than Davey's interested. From memory, the 2 for £18 range in my store consisted of:
Alone In The Dark
Call of Duty 2
Condemned 2
Conan
Dirt
Grand Theft Auto IV
Halo 3
Jericho
Need for Speed: Pro Street
Oblivion
PGR4
Test Drive Unlimited
Timeshift
Tomb Raider Anniversary
World Championship Poker
and some others that have just left my brain :o
Tbh from what I saw, the best were GTA4, Alone In The Dark and PGR4. However, I'd recommend buying 2 GTA4s and trading one in as supposedly HMV give £18 trade in which Gamestation will have to match :D
So for £18 you get GTA4 and erm £18 :D

Get em all bought Jen!
For some reason, that never occured to me :o;D
Dee just went into Game to pick up Lips for me. I gave her Darkness and Gears or War Original (Classics) to trade, just to get rid of them. Couple of quid for the Darkness, whatever, scan's Gears through..... pauses.... call manager over..... more pauses... Trade in value £20 :shocked: They sell it for less than that ;D
Obviously a mistake but if you have it, give it a punt :) Guy who worked there was apparently going to do the same ;D
:shocked: Nice one!
Blockbuster have Gears in their 5 for £25 range now, it's got so cheap ;D

23-11-2008, 20:20
If I've got any birthday money left over I'll definitely be picking up GTA 4 and Halo 3 I think. Bargain at £18 for the two of them :)
Definitely :)
I've just picked up 2 copies of GTA4 to see if HMV are still doing a good trade in price for it :D
I can confirm that HMV are giving £18 trade in for GTA4. Meaning I got £36 credit for £18 :D
Not bad really. Essentially it means you can get a brand new game for half price, in my case I got Quantum of Solace after much thought for £1.99 plus the £18 for the 2 GTAs so all in all, cost me £19.99. Not bad at all.
I was thinking about it on the way home, and I reckon you could turn a profit if you really wanted to/had the time. Do what I just did then trade it in somewhere else. I'm guessing a brand new game would fetch £30 or so trade in, so a profit of £12. Not a huge amount obviously but still not bad.
Anyway, ramble aside: means you can get a new game for half price :D

Wow, was planning on getting this anyway (or getting it for Xmas), and the controllers are worth having if one of my old ones breaks. Hell, it's worth it for the batteries! They're selling the Solus version for £34.99 still. :huh:

Hmm, that's not the case. Unless they have since changed it. I know it scans through as £24 and as a single item. You should press the issue, try phoning head-office.
The woman behind the counter said that it states on the box that it's with new console purchase only :(

My copy of Scene it arrived today :) The controls are brilliantly made, they surely cost more than £5 to make each and then you get 8 Energizer batteries with it too and the game !
Only played 1 short round but It turns out i am quite good at the romantic comedies ! lol

Only problem with that deal is you can pick the games up for nearly £20
Why do Sony never price cut a console but rather just force you to buy 3 games.

I would say so, I personally really like it and it's a game to keep going back to bit by bit. I enjoy the different missions, the finding diamonds system (works really well), the graphics and lighting are amazing and the map editor is ridiculously good and a lot of fun.

Tried another Asda yesterday with no luck. :(
I don't suppose someone could grab me one of the wireless entertainment packs if they see it at £24 and I'll reimburse by bank transfer including postage.
No probs if not possible.

Aye, I saw that earlier which was why I was quizzing you about the game.
Believe it or not I'm not going to bite. Listening to the latest 1UP show and 1UP FM they don't have a single good thing to say about it. They mention fights can last up to 2 hours, glitches and bad framerate so I think I'll give it a miss for now.
Though it will make it the only rpg on the 360 I haven't played...

I know you're into mods etc.. so I would recommend FarCry 2 for the fantastic map editor. If you get the 360 version (as I assume you would) you could swap maps with me and Abooie :).
I think if I get it then it will be for X360. Got COD World At War for PC the other day and I am loving this Zombie Mod for it. 4 Person Co-Op. Probably the best part of the game. I want to finish GOW2 off and Assasins Creed on PS3 then I will have Far Cry lined up :)
Slighltly O/T Nokkon, check out the FIFA Cup thread
I was just about to buy Far Cry 2 for the PS3 (£17.99) and it's gone from the Mega Monday listing!
Of course you can still buy it for full price, £39.99 but I thought the fact that it was advertised as part of the "Mega Monday" deal, would mean that it should be available at the stated price for at least, well, Monday.
It's a bit irritating that you can buy the steel box version for the XBOX at the offer price of £17.99.

Left 4 Dead is one of the few games I've not see go cheap along with Rock Band 2 and Dead Space.
I believe ShopTo are the cheapest at around £37. There are a lot of people here getting it close to or for Xmas, so I would recommend you wait and attempt to hold out for a bargain. I'm hoping the supermarkets go mad just before Crimbo.
Left 4 Dead is one of the few games I've not see go cheap along with Rock Band 2 and Dead Space..
Dead space has been available instore at gamestation for 24.99. I keep meaning to pick a copy up but have so much more to wade through and Rockband is sapping my time.

I did. They said it must be a web site error but they're going to follow up on it for me. I don't believe it's an error though. If you look now, there are only 32 items listed compared to 36 this morning. I reckon that they've pulled the most popular ones which is a bit crap if the sale is defined by the word, "Monday".

Maybe the wholesale price for the PS3 version was more and the margins didnt work for them :dunno: Or maybe it just was a mistake. S**t happens.
If they're making money on it and they're selling loads, no business would change/break that on purpose.
Has anyone who ordered the games a £17.99 had them posted?
My are still "packing" from Sunday night

I agree Karl. For cheap stuff that you're not in a hurry for they're great, but if you want something pretty quick then stay away from them.

I suspect thats the price for "Free Delivery" I prefer companies like Amazon who give the option for normal and express delivery. iirc Play does not do this
I may just stroll into town and exchange Tomb Raider Underworld and TFU at Game. I've never exchanged a game before - would they give me Left 4 Dead directly for those two, or would I be looking at throwing a few extra pennies at them?
I've never had much trouble with play, they always seem to take at most 4 days or so for a delivery to turn up. I ordered something on Saturday night and got an email to say it had been dispatched Sunday (I'm guessing they meant Monday) and it arrived today. Last few things i've ordered have been that quick, maybe it depends what it is.

I would have thought they'd want extra for it, trade in prices never tend to be as good as you'd like them to be. Try HMV, Gamestation and CEX too if you're able to, as trade in prices vary quite a lot :)
Me thinks play have bitten off more than they can chew, they have posted Saints Row 2 for the 360 but I still have 6 games at Packing and the ( Far Cry 2 (with Play.com Exclusive Steelbook) PS3) has changed to Far Cry 2 (PlayStation3) hmmm
Play are always slow, never had anything within a day or 2, last week Amazon sent me the wireless adapter in 2 days from ordering to getting to my door and that was free postage.
Picked up Fable II for £19.99 in Gamestation today, quite happy with that.

I suspect thats the price for "Free Delivery" I prefer companies like Amazon who give the option for normal and express delivery. iirc Play does not do this
Play have always offered free delivery though and they used to be fantastic. I know many companies that offer excellent free delivery services, ShopTo for example are free Recorded delivery.

But as a result, anything lost in the post can be sorted within 3 days and the worst that happens is that it's left at the Post Office for you to pick up the same day or next morning.
Or alternately, get it sent to your place of work.

I live in a small village which means I get my post about 2 o'clock each day. My sorting office closes at 12 so if I'm not in, it will take an extra day.
As preorders quite often come on a Friday, that means Monday.
I know all my preorders with game, zavvi, tesco and play.com will pop through onto the letter box on Thursday whether I'm in or out. :)
And I also won't be fobbed off with a Euro knock off with "Not for sale in UK" on the back as I did with my last shopto order.
Personally I'd rather pay a couple of quid more, or even drive down to Tesco than use shopto again... Being late or slightly more expensive I can tolerate but dishonest and rude I can't.
/heh, I sound like I mean business!

You've had preorders from Play arrive early? I stopped using them when a preorder for Pro Evo Soccer 4 turned up a week late, despite preordering months in advance.

My recorded stuff comes early morning separate from standard mail. Doesn't it for everyone?

Never from ShopTo. Never had it later than Thursday. Sorting offices are open weekends too ;).

From Play? Really? Never has here, I've always waited til release at earliest, usually they arrive the next week. You won't be getting any pre-orders at all from Zavvi for now either :p.
And I also won't be fobbed off with a Euro knock off with "Not for sale in UK" on the back as I did with my last shopto order.
It is stated on the site. I can see it annoying some people, but as I very seldom trade and just sell, keep or give games away it's never posed a problem.

Dishonest? I don't know what that's about but I've never had a problem, they even delayed all orders 10 minutes so that I could make one once. I couldn't knock them and I'd say their customer services is the best I've dealt with alongside Gameplay's.
Each to their own of course, but I wouldn't use Tesco online (awful customer services) or Play (awful) again unless it could be helped and Zavvi would need a wicked price error, same for HMV.
If I don't use ShopTo it will always be Gameplay, Game, Gamestation or Amazon.
Saying that, I can see why bad experiences with Customer Services can put you completely off a company.

To be fair I haven't pre ordered from play for a while (maybe a year) but I haven't had a pre order after thursday from anyone other than gameplay for quite a while now; Zavvi, Tesco, Game.
It is stated on the site. I can see it annoying some people, but as I very seldom trade and just sell, keep or give games away it's never posed a problem.
The email and site note was sent out after my preorder was sent out. Also I really shouldn't have to look at the small print to see that the product I purchased wasn't legally allowed to be sold in the country I purchased it from. There should have been a bigger disclaimer and I'm sure if I took the case to trading standards they'd back me up.
I'd used shopto before and been happy and I'd also used their 2nd hand service when it was just being set up (helped them on the forums with it). I'm not even that annoyed they sold me an un-sellable copy. What annoys me is that when I brought it up with them and kindly asked for an exchange or refund they told me to "be more careful on the internet and sod off".

I actually think Mirrors Edge might be my game of the year so anyone sitting on the fence don't be!
Funny one this...I played the demo the other night and whilst I'd say I enjoyed it, I'm not sure I loved it enough to buy it. Is the game a bit more free roaming than the demo?

Fallout 3 - £20 on Gamestation today.
I couldn't resist the Tomb Raider Underworld for just shy of £24 on gameplay with 9% quidco brings it down to about £21.
It's ridiculous how quickly games are becoming cheap! Nice though :)
Just exchanged those three games for Left 4 Dead and a replacement battery for my controller. It feels like giving a lot to get a little, but when I consider that I might not even have played those games again I think it was well worth it.

Did you just get a replacement battery or a charge and play kit?
I couldn't understand getting a battery for £10 when the PnC is only £15.

Last time I bought a battery Game were doing them for £5 when bought with any game, dont know if that was still on.

I'm useless though, I have two, lost 1 and often lose the other. Only reason I don't lose batteries is because they stick in the controller :p.
Woolies are selling loads of stuff off at 50% or less - no idea if its extending to games etc but might be worth a look.
In fact http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7766810.stm
Games are only 10% unfortunately :(
I don't think I could do it :/
I couldn't walk in to a place like Woolies, scavenging for bargains knowing that most of the people working there will probably be unemployed next year.
Bleurgh. Only bought stuff in Woolies yesterday. Wasn't much and it was already discounted so I guess I don't mind.
I overheard people saying they were unable to get new stock (for obvious reasons), so if you spot a deal, take it.

I'd make offers. "I'll give you £20 for Rock Band 2". etc..
You could probably make some cracking savings on stuff for the house though by making an offer.
Just had posted Far Cry 2 tin version and Midnight Club for the 360 £17.99 from play.com hoping to get them completed soon and trade them into CEX for £25 cash each :D
I've just been to Woolies for other stuff and it did feel strangely sad there. Felt sorry for the staff and seems a shame as I have many happy memories of their toy section as a kid.

It would definitely benefit from the Arcade stick though, especially in the Kombo Challenges because the Xbox360 d-pad can be a little clumsy.

Saw that deal for the 60gb Pro. Outrageously good deal.
News today of Sony making 16,000 staff redundant, does anybody really think Sony will reduce the PS3 now? Its still far to expensive compared to the 360
That numbers jumped a bit, it was 800 when I heard it on the radio this morning.
I dont think they can. Sony recently increased the price of everything else (TV's HI-FI etc) to compensate for the weakening pound, but left the PS3 as it is. I guess that's the best we're going to get for a while.
Even last week David Reeves said “No we are not going to go down in price; neither are we going to go down in price on PS3 in spring time either. Absolutely not, whatever you might have heard to the contrary."

Saw that deal for the 60gb Pro. Outrageously good deal.
I need a new 360 and cannot decide to go for the arcade or the 60 gb. I will sell everything off apart from the console and power brick.
Trying to work out which way will be cheaper. Flogging the memory card and wired controller or the wireless controller and 60 gb HDD.
If you're not buying for the first time (ie replacing a dead one, or having a second one) I'd just get the Arcade. It has a wireless controller (it was the old core's that had wired ones), a 5 arcade game disc bundle and memory card to flog.
Well, possibly. If you get the new Jaspers the memory is internal. But that does have the 65nm GPU so should be pretty solid.
Sounds like it might be worth a visit to Woolworths early as possible tomorrow to see if they've any bargains. Closing Down Sale - Everything must go. :(
All the consoles had gone from ours. I checked already. Loads of games left though.
Seems Cex have caught onto the play.com sale. they will only pay cash for the Far Cry 2 tin on the 360 for the price of the normal version which is £25 not £30
Had a nosey in our local Woolies today - they've got 10% off consoles but up to 50% of some games! :D
Worth going back again tomorrow as they're cutting some stuff further.

I find them (well, Xbox360) very good for socialising.
Some good puzzle games about Mark :)
Anyone know what Rock Band (solus) would get trade in? Pondering exporting the tracks and putting it towards 2 (definitely know Lips mic support is coming, and we've recently bought No Doubt's Singles Collection and The Color And The Shape for it, kind of invested now :o)
Puzzle games are good. Very good in fact. I'd quite happily grab the likes of Uno off XBLA for example (if it's still there).
As I've been saying for about two years now I was planning on picking up a Wii (probably next April/May), but now given the Xbox360 prices I'm really just not sure. I'd probably get the 60GB as the Elite doesn't seem worth it.
Looks like the Gamestation offers are from today instore, can't confirm it though just getting the info off other sites :)

£230 Elite, £170 60GB, £130 Arcade, all with 10% off. 10% off the 60GB brings it down to £153. However, I don't know if they bothered re-pricing for the VAT cut, so it might actually be £149.74. I did spot another poster which suggested they included some sort of free game (no idea what the game was though).
No, I didn't get one. Did get some other bits and pieces but it was like a war zone in there. :shocked:
I dont think they've put up any of the new prices in the one I went to, all the flyers etc were the same as last week.
Queue's were huge though.
Nope - you're not the only one that thought that. Everyone (including me) seemed to be going in with the expectation that most stock would be 50% off, when in reality most was 20% off with entertainment 10% and some other stuff 30% off. I don't think I saw anything actually priced at 50% off. :/

Anybody that needs to save a few quid & not suffer bargain bucket brands needs to check the Reduced section in Tescos Before they go to work.
When we are on night shift we move any stock we find that has a reduced sticker on it to it's special little section & the manager stickers up all the other knock down stuff.
Fresh stuff is the best deal mainly but it is not the cheap stuff. Recently I've noticed loads of that Tesco Finest stuff up, 4 quid heavy filled steak & ale pies thick & crusty for less than a quid sort of thing. Nice pieces of Steak from 8 quid to around 2-3 quid, perfect for a choice stew I'd say.
Seems to me it is all about learning the timings of your local store & adjusting your shopping times to suit, You could quite easily save yourself 30 - 40 quid a week on your shopping by making a small adjustment & you wouldn't suffer in quality either. The cheap stuff flys off the shelfs so is hardly ever reduced, It's the expensive fresh stuff that sits on the shelf long enough to be reduced. All the Fresh shelfs are chilled properly & they are sold Before the date is out & we are only talking about them sitting on a chilled shelf for maybe 2 days & then sold the day before the date is up.
It'll be easy for me as obviously I'll just shop on the way out after a shift but hopefully some of you lot will be able to take advantage in your own local store, I would have thought that All stores do it no matter what company.

From first impressions it wouldn't be worth £40 purely on length, though it does require 2 playthroughs (1 for all 1001 orbs and another for sub 12 hours). For £25 it's possibly worth a punt, every area of the game has improved from my first impressions and movement is becoming a lot more responsive (although the annoying jump problems from Assassins Creed are still present). I do see where the quicktime events comment comes from.
I personally am really loving the presentation of the story and in terms of interface appearance, sound and background music it's close to perfect. Fantastic voice acting (as you'd expect with Nolan North voicing). Graphically it's up there with Gears of War 2, Fallout 3 and any other game you'd like to mention.
The game itself certainly has a lot of pro's, it's whether the slight niggles and irritations that will be there for every gamer become a little too much.

It's still not the best as it was intended for daft arcade games off the XBLA. The Hori Arcade stick is the ideal solution, but it's obviously a little bit more. Sadly they didn't make the Hori Arcade stick with 8 face buttons, instead using 6. At least you can re-map on fighting games.
The 2 games + wireless controller is now on sale at Playtrade for £30 but without the controller :huh: ::/:

Are you leading me to believe Tesco's are open during the day?
Thanks to Everyone for ignoring me posting that in the Computers & Consoles thread :o + ;D
I blame Everything on me doing nights now & my head being fried :D
Sam has ordered MKvsDC for me
My thumbs hurt :o (spot the non-console gamer :D ;D )

Tomb Raider:Underworld for Xbox 360 and PS3 for £17.99, I believe it may be for today only though

Damn you ;) I promised myself no new games until I'd finished the huge backlog sitting on my shelf but just can't resist a bargain; especially when I've money sat in my play.com playfunds account.
God knows when I'll get round to this though.

Cracking price for Tomb Raider, especially considering how new it is.
PoP for £17.99 Arse has fallen out of games prices :D
Well tempted by Prince of Persia at that price. Quidco too!
[edit]In fact, ordered. Gonna go out of stock at that price I'll bet.

I'd recommend anyone pick PoP up for £18.

If you can't get Tomb Raider at play.com Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tomb-Raider-Underworld-Xbox-360/dp/B001BN8UCK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1229340125&sr=1-2) are doing it for £18.
These prices are quite amazing!
Just need Left 4 Dead to drop as well somewhere and I think I'll be done buying games till next Summer.
Also my mrs will probably take my debit card off me.

15-12-2008, 13:43
Aye Left 4 Dead is the only one I'm waiting for now :D
Looks like Play have the Wireless controller + games back in stock at £30. Have just ordered one set for me :)
Here be linky (http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/8056650/Lego-Indiana-Jones-+-Kung-Fu-Panda-+-Xbox-360-Wireless-Controller/Product.html)
Also looks like TR:U at Play is now out of stock for the 360
Also found a few nice prices on things at Gamestation half-price sale Here (http://www.gamestation.co.uk/lowdown.aspx?lid=20092)
Here's hoping they continue (though I'm sure the developers don't agree).
I suspect a lot of this is being caused by the market getting flooded with EUK stock at knock-down prices. You might want to think about keeping some cash around if Zavvi go under for the same reason.
And here's me, only just about thinking on getting into the action. Late, as ever. ::/: ;D

15-12-2008, 13:46
Late yes but in-line for some bloody good deals :p
If only I knew which ones were actually worth buying for my feeble skills. :)
Didn't want to start spending again this side of Chrimbo but sod it. I'm clearing half my outstanding debts in one go in January so a little bump up on the CC won't hurt temporarily as long as I don't go bonkers.
Will check out the local GAME tomorrow and see if they've any consoles in. That's the first (obvious) priority. :)
Have just ordered one set for me :)
Ahh so thats why you wanted the quidco log in ;D
Prince of Persia is supposed to be very forgiving :)

Yep I resisted and didn't buy anything else, although PoP is looking tempting. :)
Think I'll be getting PoP for Christmas now thanks to this offer :)
Can't see me getting Left 4 Dead this side of Christmas now though :( But never mind :)
Prince of Persia is supposed to be very forgiving :)
So I see. I think I should probably get the console first though. ;D

Anyone seen a cheap 360 deal around?
Ideally looking for just the arcade to replace my sisters console (banned XBL :o) as it was my original premium and has a 20GB HDD.
Oh and a copy of Dead Rising in stock somewhere :/

Zavi - £97.64 for an arcade.

Had an emergency spree and found something for Rob's bro £40 in Gamestation and £24.99 in Game - no brainer really!

They seem to be rapidly heading the way of Woolies...
I like Zavvi - frequently got cheap dvd box sets from them. Massively overpriced normally though.

Bah, all these bargains are not good for my decision making. I was planning on saving all my Christmas money to go towards a new camera lens, ut with prices being so cheap, and perhaps for only a short time, I may end up getting games instead. Decisions decisions!

15-12-2008, 16:11
Seriously for 50% off it would be madness not to get them now as you can always trade them in 2 weeks time for something else.

Nawty xbox - got banned in last years ban waves after being modded at a LAN in October :(
I don't mind as I have an Elite and still buy my games.

You can always head over to TP and buy a second hand lens, much cheaper that way :)
Aye, I'm keeping an eye on the forum, just waiting for the right lens to come on at the right price :)
Always games Davey ;) Although with reviewing you might be able to source some good ones that way too :)
