I bought monkeyballs from coolshop for 21 euro~ and traded it in at xtravision for 28 euro credit(got shadow wars pre-owned but it was brand new with club nintendo points and all for 25 and some salsa with the 3 euro left over).
https://www.coolshop.co.uk/catalog/product/65899-super-monkey-ball--for-3ds

Might be worth it for some people.
Also it gets you 35 credit at gamestop if that's more your bag.

These are 3DS games btw.

Worth it for the salsa alone lol

Mass Effect 2 is €9 (or 9.99 can't remember) in HMV. saw it earlier in Galway. still had a few copies left there.

DARK-KNIGHT · 12-04-2011 10:09PM

600 points each. I'd skip on MNC, if I were you. It's a dying game, getting the Team Fortress 2 console update treatment, and the people that are still playing will do their best to use every glitch, exploit and over-powered technique. It's not fun to play on Xbox anymore.

Much better on PC, though. If you want it badly, go for the Steam version

Does anyone really need to play the sequel? Is protecting a NPC from attacking enemies ever enjoyable?

I'd only get it to play the Minerva's Den DLC, which is meant to be awesome.

markf1982 · 13-04-2011 10:59AM

Looks like shadow complex is the way to go so,, thanks

moonboy52 · 13-04-2011 11:23AM

Just had to pick up Toy Soldiers.

To relive my childhood is well worth 800 points

As an aside, I've played on this stick, and it's pretty flimsy to say the least. I also wouldn't trust wireless for one frame links. I'm sure it's fine for a first time stick, but for anyone who thinks it's anymore than an introductory stick, you're fooling yourself.

Borderland is the pick of the 2K Steam sale today with the vanilla game available for 4.99 and the GOTY edition 12.50.

For those who have the orignal on steam already the complete DLC pack is also available for 5.99.

Yeah, I agree, they're fine for testing the 'ol stick water. My first stick was a Madcatz SE, it was €70 and it was perfect really, great build easily modded and durable. Well sort of. It's in pieces now :P Currently on the Super TE stick, it's everything you could want.

/finished being wildly off topic.

If you're looking for a wired Hori, the EX 2 is probably worth the money, although I'm not a fan of the stick itself.

Picked up Red Dead Redemption on Xbox 360 today from amazon for €25 delivered.

I realised alot of people were saying how this game holds a high price in retail stores, noticed myself after buying a new Xbox it still commands a €50 price tag, so at this price I didn't think a second to buy it.

Amazon also have the Orange box for €15 shipped.

Whats the diff between super te and standard te or te 2? I have both te and te2 thinking of modding one of them

Zavvi currently have Red Dead Redemption for €21 euro delivered

calex71 · 14-04-2011 12:03AM

Thought I should add a worst deal off the week for lulz, if you buy Halo:Reach from xbox games on demand, it will only cost €69.99

It's about the same on Amazon, but you'd have to bump your order up to £25 to make use of free shipping (I'm guessing TheDoc didn't)

Loads of decent games for a tenner on Amazon if you're struggling to find something to bump the value of an order up with...

Red Dead Redemption on PS3 is €17.99 delivered on Game.

Math:
GOTY is 2 euro more exspensivererer than game+dlc4pack
