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…

That's probably when you trade in another game.

That sounds about right. Price after trade in.

Play.com are doing a 2 for €32 sale on games at the moment. Some good games in there. MGS4, GTA4,

Some caution advised, as some of these games can be gotten cheaper in other places.

The following post was taken from the Xbox forum:

Quigs Snr wrote: »

Picked up Street Fighter 4, Godfather 2 and Halo Wars for 9.99 each in Harvey Norman, Waterford earlier this evening all for Xbox, didn't check what was there for other consoles. They also had Lost Odessey, Bee Movie, Wall-E, Fifa 2009, Rock Band Song pack 2 and Too Human for the same price (most of those are barely worth 9.99 and Too Human is only 6.95 preowned in xtravision at the moment).

They had 2 or 3 of each left at 6pm this evening in a big basket on the left on the way in.

I'm not sure whether it applies to all Harvey Norman stores around the country but if it is then SF4 is a bargain.

Anyone know how much Smackdown Vs Raw 2010 is at xtra-vision?

Was just on their website and it doesn't appear to be out yet but if it stops raining later on I'll be heading to my local one so I can check there for you. Only if it stops raining though.

I had a good day today,
picked up GodHand, Hitman2 and Tomb Raider Anniversary for the PS2, and for 17.99 total.
I was happy with that!

Sadly, Gamestop only offered me 10 credit for Left 4 Dead, despite it for sale on the shelves for 39.99, ah well...

Honest, if you have a PC, there's no really no excuse not to buy this, one of the most atmospheric games I've ever played:

(I recommend you install the Oblivion Lost mod on top of it)

free weekend for champions online at the moment available through steam
edit: takes ages to patch after initial download. Been downloading over 5 hours and only halfway through for me. Probably not worth the download at this stage.
edit 2: crap game too

Mass Effect is on sale on Steam, 50% off
Most importantly, it's sensibly priced too (across all regions that is).

You can grab it for €7.50

Just picked up Dark Sector for €4.99 in HMV on Grafton Street. Bargain.

EDIT: It's new btw and not previously owned. They had about 4 or 5 copies left.
