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. 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…

My FIFA 10 disc is literally worn out, it won't read. Does anyone know how much a used copy is these days?

If it's on Xbox borrow a disc from a mate - install it to hard drive. Even though your game might be too worn to play it should still pick it up as being present in your machine.

There's really only a handful that fully reg with Steam. Any game can be added to the Library, but you'll have to have it manually installed and patch it yourself etc.
Just Cause 2 seems to be one of the few.

That site is broken - going by my experience.

I signed up and received a confirmation Email. I was logged in automatically at the end of the registration process but experienced problems when I tried to buy the game (there were no click-able links to advance the checkout process). Left, and then returned to, the site - having to login again but being told that my login details are incorrect. Selected "forgot password" when it became clear I couldn't login, to be told they have no record of my Email address.

... at which point, my head exploded.

also clicking some of the 'links' on there site either does nothing or, one time, caused the Eidos Firefox tab to close.

All games 6 euro each.

Includes:

Serious Sam Remakes
Dirt 2
Kings Bounty
Champions Online

and some other not so good games

Any of those is worth the six euro.

This was posted in the Bargain Alerts forum.

Playstation Move Starter Pack for €56.99 (€2 delivery included in price) with a free copy of Sports Champions with it 'free'. Has to be ordered through their website which doesn't give you much info on the deal tbh.

I rang them up to confirm that it was indeed the starter pack and not just the Move Controller with a free game. Indeed it is the starter pack
All other info in the link

Edit: looks like that offer is over. Meant to post about it last night.

Just for anyone looking to buy MOVE, I'd recommend playing it for free at the demo stand in HMV on Grafton Street. I'm not impressed. Then again it is just Wii Sports Resort, so it's true potential can't be seen in ten minutes with these tech demos.

All five episodes of Tales of Monkey Island on PC/Mac for $4.95. This weekend only.

Came to €3.90 through PayPal for me. International Talk Like a Pirate Day is helping me catch up on Monkey Island games really cheaply!

Currently, the full alpha version of Minecraft is free to play ("I'm officially calling a "free-to-play weekend", or however long this will take to fix." - Notch)

Best indie PC game ever!
