GTA San Andreas £19.99 @ Game

Game are doing Grand Theft Auto San Andreas for the rather nifty price of £19.99 (if any of you haven`t got it already) as their Deal of the week. You DONT have to buy anything else to get it at this price. Enjoy!

Kensington High St was sold out of fifa today, but had plenty of Pacific Assault @ 9.99

Fifa 2005 + MOH for £9.99 (PC)

My local game had Fifa 2005 and Medal of Honour - Pacific Assault for £9.99 each on PC. Not sure if it was a pricing error, but they scanned up at that price when i bought them!

RE: My new Slimline PS2 lasted only 2 days lol

In regards to the overheating - There is some boring small print in the instructions saying you should take a 15 min break from your ps2 every hour. - Maybe sony taking the fan out is their way of enforcing this, or risk melting your slimline griddle. (or more likely a cost/size saving exercise at the expense of performance/reliability)


Bring back PS2`s that sound like hovercraft!

RE: Great new sounds for 2005

With new albums by MEW and Brendan Benson due in February, the new year can`t come soon enough for me.

For all you Londoners - BOGOF Boxsets

Hi all,
Game are currently running a buy one, get one free on selected boxsets. Unfortunately (or fortunately for us) the smart staff in the Oxford Street store have labelled up ALL the boxsets as being in the offer - chip in with a mate and get 2 star wars trilogy sets for 32.99 - or maybe 2 office triple packs for 29.99. Too many bargains to list - grab em before someone notices the mistake (got 2 OC season one boxsets myself!!)

RE: The worst bargain ever PS2 bundles at Game

Quite amusing to read in the same thread about GAME profiteering on the PS2 Slim shortage, that quite a few people want to put theirs on Ebay to make a quick killing (with no bundle extras) ;)

Maybe if Sony didn`t take the cheap route of sending everything by boat, the majority of slim stock wouldn`t have been stuck in the Suez canal for a fortnight at xmas. (And the Delboy in us all would stay sleeping)

RE: PS2 £99.99

Guy in Game today said they had a pack for £120, but if i traded in the games that came with it, the machine would only be 80 quid. Can`t be bad!

Xbox £99, PS2 £104.99 (inc silvers)

After Microsoft announced to the trade a £99 price point on xbox for the bank holiday weekend, Sony have followed suit with an rrp cut to £104.99 from this friday.

Probably worth checking those ads in the papers on friday morning for some nutty deals.

Hi,
Was in virgin megastore kingston today, and they are having a 40% off closing down sale. Everything in the store is included inc DVD`s and blank media, cd`s etc.
A friend said they saw similar posters outside the finchley branch!

Band of Brothers/ Indy Jones @19.99 @ Game

Game are starting a sale on thursday for their reward card members (the cards are 3 quid for life membership if i remember correctly). As well as the 2 box sets in the heading there is also some triple packs for 4.99 (like scooby doo/cats and dogs/ iron giant). Don`t know if it`s just instore or online as well

Christof

Nice prices - Have my Indy reserved already!

RE: Films you`ve fallen asleep watching whilst in the cinema.....

Insomnia (oh, the irony!!)

Wasn`t a bad film (I`ve been told), but i had been up all the previous night at a party and had promised my girlfriend i`d take her to see it the next afternoon!

RE: 2 DVD`s for £25 at GAME Shops

is definitely in the offer. saw the list of titles in the walthamstow branch!

RE: 2 DVD`s for £25 at GAME Shops

also

xxx
lilo and stitch
black hawk down

in walthamstow - and apparently harry potter and the chamber of secrets will go in the promotion from launch (next friday)

RE: Jaws 25th Anniversary edition £7.99 @DVD.CO.UK

GAME have it in their 3 for 20 quid, along with interview with the vampire special edition and a few other gems! - so that`s £6.66 a pop!

RE: Superdrug DVD Players £64.99

tried multi region - no problems
tried vcd - no problems
tried macro - no problems

haven`t tried the rest - as i mainly use mine as an mp3 player for my bedroom (at that price, you pretty much can`t go wrong.

RE: How weird is that Electric 6 video?!?!?

looking forward to seeing them play live on 31st jan in london. Apparently Jack White (of the white stripes) does the high pitched vocals on the record (the bits the scary woman does in the video) - highly entertaining

RE: X-Box Deal in Argos

the games are completely full versions, for anyone still in doubt. but if you wait until 1st december there is a new pack available pretty much everywhere with:-

Xbox + 1 controller
Jet set radio future
Sega gt 2002
Halo
Splinter cell

so for £40 more, you get 2 of the best games on the machine. and a bitchin dvd player to boot!

RE: PS2 price down to £169, XBox price drops to £159.99

Game are dropping the PS2 price from friday - rather than waiting until midnight saturday if anyone hasn`t got one already.

RE: SPY GAME £6.99 AT GAME !!!!!!

Erm - EBUK actually bought GAME about 3 years ago - they have not always been the same company, and used to be competitors. The licencing agreement with EBUS runs out in 2006. Rebranding all stores to game is to stop confusion with EBUS when they inevitably come into europe. Glad to know you think so highly of the promotion of crappy things ; - )

RE: SPY GAME £6.99 AT GAME !!!!!!

eb did buy game, as the eb name was just rented off the (not related) US company - all eb`s are now converting to game as US EB plans to expand into europe itself, and having two different companies trading the same goods under the same name would be damn confusing.

And they will match the 24.99 deal if within 5 miles of a pc world, and the game is in stock at the competitor. and you still get their 10 day return policy unlike pc worlds oh you opened it - F**k off attitude.

RE: Favourite bands not to have had a hit...

Scarce (ultra cool US indie band, 1 brilliant album - did reading a couple of times and then split)

Nada surf - 3rd album out this year - rumoured to be supporting the vines this year - they WILL be huge


most of the other bands i like have scraped the top 75, but seeing as most peoples other choices had charted at some point, i could pick anyone (ie nitzer ebb - 3 top 75 singles)

Oh and clayts - my old band did a gig with sidi bou said many years ago, and never have i met such a bunch of humourless women. (my bands only single got to number 191, but we did get to tour with the cranberries (who sucked, but it was fun)

RE: Iknow this should be in the games forum, but where can i find a cheap Dreamkey cd for my Dreamca

plenty of spares at my shop. email me your address and i can post you the latest version (which lets you go online with your own isp)

RE: Resident Evil

I own and understand "memento"
I quite enjoyed Spiderman and Res Evil
I`m now confused as to wether i fit into the elitist film snob category or the IQ of one clan!

I need clarification!!!!!

RE: Winning Eleven 6(Pes2) for the Game Cube........I dont think so:):):):)

Someone once told me that it`s possible to like and enjoy games on more than one brand of console! What complete nonsense eh!

RE: X box or PS2?

"As you have a DVD player the GC is the best choice, as the PS2 and X-Box have very poor DVD playback anyway."

thoroughly agree with you as far as PS2 is concerned, but have you witnessed the xbox playback? It is ultra slick!

And the blokey who said " you can get better pc`s coz xbox uses geforce 3 technology" - if you can get me a pc for under 200 quid that plays dvd`s, games, is broadband enabled and has better than geforce 3 graphics - could you please send me the link!!!!!!!!!!!


FTR - my girlfriend loves her gamecube (monkeyball and pikmin mainly) so it`s probably your best bet!
