Gamestop Lucky Bag

fuzztone · 2010-11-22 18:46:56

Possible bargain here, for €5 you'll receive a random 360 game worth at least €5, but possibly a lot more: http://www.gamestop.ie/38393_Xbox_360_GameStop_s_Xbox_360_5_Lucky_Bag_.aspx I've given it a punt anyways, I better not get the Golden Compass.

I think people are mental paying €7 for a bluray that could literally be ANYTHING! At least with the games there's a much better chance of getting something worth a good bit more than €7 as games in general are more expensive. Most blurays that arn't brand new can be gotten for around the €11 mark anyway. Paying 7 for something that you *might* buy at 11 seems like a gamble thats really not worth it. I forsee a lot of disapointed customers

That's the fun of it.. it's the gamble!

And to be honest, there's some absolute woeful games being throw out there. Some of them I wouldn't even play. But I'd always throw on a Blu-ray.. even to only watch it once.

Got Alpha Protocol for 360 which I've never heard of and certainly would never have played otherwise so it should be an interesting experience. As above the blu-ray was Resident Evil Apocalypse which again I wouldn't have had otherwise so that's cool

Really? Fantastic Four, Rise of the Silver Surfer is worth more than a fiver??
Mental note to self: never again, unless they can guarantee a minimum Metacritic rating.

(Technically, under the EU Distance selling directive I can probably return this for a refund, but it'd cost so much in combined postage as not to be worth it to get my fiver back).

Got UFC:2010 for PS3, PES 2008 on xbox and ultraviolet on blu ray.

Happy enough with UFC, not mad on ultraviolet but can hopefully trade it in or something.......feel a bit let down by PES 2008 though, cant imagine thats really worth even €5

€16.80 @ gamesnash http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056155045

Edit: Actually just reading the thread again, it might just be store credit, but still a pretty decent amount

I got Bullet Witch, has a 4/10 rating on IGN, and it looks a bit poor. Still, for the price I'm sure I'll have fun playing it. I think those who got PES08 got gypped, nobody would pay €5 for that in the first place.

Now, back to serious posting: Didn't expect them to arrive this fast!

Got Strangehold on the 360, old but seems to have decent reviews so how bad!
Worth about €6.
Got Resident Evil: Apocolypse on blu ray, which seems to cost around €13 on the net, so not bad!

Ordered a 360 one today. Wouldn't mind getting alpha protocol or similar. Mainly taking a punt to try a game I wouldn't have looked at otherwise!
