Gaming Bargains (not Freebies)

Lemlin · 2006-02-06 11:11:59

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

Wireless Xbox 360 controller, Kung Fu Panda and other game (I believe it was Lego Indiana Jones as this seems to be a product which is supposed to be bundled with consoles) - €40

If You're quick enough, H.N. Airside have a table at the entrance to the electronics section on which everything is half price. Yesterday there a single Xbox 360 wireless controller and the wireless gaming receiver (to hook it up to a Windows PC) on the table. Half price at €25. That price is for both items together. Ah, finally found a suitable link to give you an idea of the product: [Link]

There were a couple of wired 360 controllers on the table too (which can also be hooked up to a PC). Half price at €20.

You should ask that question in the Playstation forum. In general the latest ones aren't backwards compatible (80GB & 160GB models)

Probably the 2nd hand range, most games are €20 so averages out about €40 for 3 games, depends on the individual prices.

Eh wrong. I worked there for 3 years and never let anything in that wasn't prestine (why would I? If it didn't work when I sell it-who has to deal with the customer who returns it?).

Sorry you had a bad experience but its not like it is a XV policy not to check.

Hard game to get at a good price, everywhere still charges full price for it from what I can see, my advice: http://www.gamesnash.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=60_25&products_id=647 €58.99
The price difference between retailers will be minimal I would imagine.

the reason The Club is so cheap is because it is RUBBISH. i returned it after 3 hours- the most monotonous game EVER.

Most smart retailers won't drop the price of the Xbox 360 version of GTA4 because they know there's a downloadable expansion coming out exclusively on the Xbox 360 next year.
