Bargain Thread

I would say they're all worth £10.

Now I would yes, but back then I saw fable and fallout individually at £19.99 and Mass Effect at £14.99 elsewhere so I thought - yoink!

Shame I don't get much time on the old xboxerooey- I haven't been online in months!

Steam Weekend Deal GRID @ £7.49

What is this game like? Is it simply a racer or is there an interesting level of customisations/tweaking? Is there a compelling career or similar style mode?

It seems like a bargain price, and for a game who's name I've seen bounding around alot - I'd like to hear some opinions

I'd say it's certainly worth that price. The handling is just plain stupid (but fun if you're in the mood!) but i really liked the way the career mode worked. You had several methods of building reputation and making money from anything to switching off driving aids in a race to using certain sponsors. The teammate driver mechanic is quite good too.

I really liked the demo, I never did buy the full game.

I've been keeping an eye out on Red Faction: Guerrilla for a price drop and play.com have dropped it to £17.99, but for the PS3 only ... goddamnit... thought I'd still mention it though

GRID on the 360 was great, loved playing it. There's not much in the way of setup on the cars but it seemed to have a bot more to it than the average arcade style racer.

Argos have currently got 20% of all game preorders. Not sure what the catch is but it seems like they've just started doing this service and it might be a limited deal.

I've nabbed Dragon Age: Origins for £28.79 and Red Dead Redemption for £27.59 so far with Halo ODST and possibly Forza 3 next.

Go to argos.co.uk, the code is GAME20 and do the games 1 at a time. Not sure if they're taking the money right now though, so need to keep an eye on it.

[Aboobie]

With some games (Rock Band Beatles) it adds a delivery charge even though it should be free. They must be ironing out some bugs atm

Anyway, Halo ODST just ordered for £29.19 and Assassins Creed 2 for £29.59.

Saw the promotion via HotUKDeals and somebody seems to think that Argos are indeed taking money now and shipping later. Still unsure if it's true or not as I've only ever pre-ordered my 3rd launch day 360 from them back in October 2005 and no money was taken at the time IIRC.
