I suppose this could've gone in Bargain Alerts... there's guaranteed to be more gamers viewing this forum though.
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (GC) - €26.24 (according to xe.com)
I rushed through and subsequently failed an exam so that i could get home and play this game... and i've never felt even the tiniest bit of regret at that decision:)
Unreal Championship 2 (XBox) - €14.57
Splinter Cell - Pandora Tomorrow (GC) - €11.65

doubt i'll be buying anything else (my new copy of Baten Kaitos for €30 should keep me going for a while:) )

flogen · 28-12-2005 8:01pm

God bless the coming of the next gen, I can bet that the end of this sale will be swiftly followed by a cross-title price drop in the "old" generation, probably a fiver or so.

Far Cry Instincts (Xbox) €24.98
Burnout Revenge (PS2, Xbox) €29.98

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (GBA) - 34.99

Dont know why it was only 35 euro but its worth full price anyday.

chrislad · 29-12-2005 1:54am

Fire Emblem is only 7.98 on the GBA in GAME. If you can find it. I got it, only to find there was no game in the box.

Also in GAME (again, if you can find them. I was staff so I know some of the guys there so I got them).

Alias, Breakdown, XIII, World Championship Rugby, Timesplitters 2 - all 1.48

Check if they missed one and it's marked at full price.

rainbow kirby · 29-12-2005 2:54am

Stuff that's ridiculously cheap like that (there's always about 10-ish titles like that every time GAME has a sale) tends to get picked up by staff a lot... or by this one guy who goes around to all the branches with a list of that stuff. He buys it to sell it all on eBay.

Laguna · 29-12-2005 2:56am

Civilisation 4 : €26 from www.play.com

Ah yes... you don't happen to know his account, do you? I always tried to see if he had a website but couldn't

God I hate that guy.

What an asshole, he deprives everyone else of the odd time the shops do a reasonable sale on games?, he might be a powerseller on eBay, find out his account so we can all give him negative feedback!.

Tank Top Fever! · 29-12-2005 12:33pm

Picked up Monkey Ball deluxe edition for the xbox for 15 quid in game. Bargain

1huge1 · 29-12-2005 12:41pm

Also got Mercenaries for the Xbox €19 in HMV.

tman · 30-12-2005 1:05am

This isn't exactly a January sales bargain, seeing as it's been this price for fecking ages...
Ikaruga - GC - €26.90 including delivery.

i bought one back in June and decided to sell it on ebay earlier today out of boredom.
chances are my used copy will sell for more on ebay than they're charging at simplygames:)

(and thanks to Kirby for pointing that out in the first place)
