Told you the turnover of new games would be high... in fact:

Ah but you meant this coming weekend I'm sure even you didn't think that Saints Row 2 would be available in CEX 3 days after it was released, I know I didn't!

Or perhaps didn't like it, or maybe got it early from an industry contact. Either way, I'm not complaining, as it means I've picked up Mercenaries 2 and Saints Row 2 for a total of £3 in the last few days

I meant it as in this weekend, but I thought it was Sunday.
This tends to happen when you don't have a job and you just go and play Snooker all day :/.

From my friend working at GAME, she always had games released on the Friday arriving on the Saturday. People often get them on Thursdays online too (which gives them 48 hours)
Edit: Though I didn't know CEX were 2nd hand only, in which case you've done bloody brill!

Oh, and as a sign of how far PES has fallen in my opinion, on the shelf virtually next to Saints Row was a copy of PES 2009. I merely looked at it once and moved on, I had no interest at all in getting it, something I've never said about that series before.

I saw Asda have got PES2009 for £27 at the moment. They didn't seem to be shifting them very fast, considering Tesco nearly sold out of Fifa 09 when it was £25.
