XMAS con on Ps2 games

Went to buy some lattest release games as presents and could not believe that every shop had these games at £39.99

Its a total rippoff and just to rub it in, the games will drop £10 in the sales the day after Xmas, what good is that?

Now call me Scrouge if you want but I ain`t paying that, £40 minus a penny is a lot of money froms ones pocket and a whopping BIG profit to the high street shops.

I found some internet sites that were selling the games I wanted for £29.99 post free, so I got them sent by post and a `wet rasperry` to these money grabbin games shops.

try the `Barclaycard` Trick:

Very rough summary

Spend over £50 on a `Named item` ie Sony etc
If the price is cheaper within 60 days.
You get the difference.

Check card details first

I`d rather wait a few weeks for them to turn up second hand for half the price. There seem to be so many people (students!!) around with money and time to burn that they can afford to buy the game new and then complete it within a week or two. I remember picking up a copy of Driver 2 on my ps for half price the day after it was released because someone had played it all night and completed it - Bargain!

I was right, `Beyond good and evil -PS2 ` pre Xmas price £40, after Xmas sale £20 from GAME, What a total rippoff if they can half the price and still make profit. Makes you wonder what games really cost

Well, at least I got the above game yesterday for the sale price :)
