Gaming Bargains (not Freebies)

Was wondering if we could get a sticky going about games bargains that we've spotted? I'm going to pm Monument about it.

It could be useful, especially for offers like the Xtravision one and the Xbox 360 trade-in offer that Game have at the minute.

People could also give examples of gaming bargains they've seen. For example, I just spotted Astro Boy for GBA on Play.com for £9.99 ( about €14.99) which is a steal. They're also going to have the Castlevania double pack on GBA for £17.99 (about €24), which is a great price for two fantastic GBA games. Lumines on PSP is only £17.99 there too, most shops are still charging €45+ for it.

Its also worth noting for 360 owners that Harvey Norman tend to be alot cheaper than most shops for the games. They're €20 cheaper than some places.

Anyone else spotted any gaming bargains lately?

I got The Hulk for the Gamecube in Game on Dawson street for €5.99 the other day.

It's not a GREAT game... but smashing stuff is fun.

Might be better to put it in the Bargain section of the For Sale forum?

Nah, I think it'd be better in the games forum. After all, its a thread about bargain games.

Fair play to Kjdac, Monument or whatever mod made this a sticky. Hopefully it'll save people money and allow us all to unearth some hidden (and cheap!) gaming gems

Tekken 5

I got Tekken 5 from play-asia.com for just over 10 euro delivered which constitutes a bargain to me.

Following on for Triton's example, maybe it'd be best to post links with bargains you've found if they're on the net.

My mate pointed these out:

Devil May Cry 3 €23 for PS2 - http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=s...2&title=166994
Onimusha 3 €20 for PS2 - http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=s...+3&page=search

I dont know if this is a bargain but you can buy Xbox 360 and PSP for less than 3 euro a week in Dixons in Drogheda. 21% interest.
