    Amazon have it for that price on the xbox360. Unless you're gonna spend over £25, you'll need to add delivery on top of that though. If you are gonna spend over £25 then the delivery is free.

    Or €22.49 on Play.com delivered.

    Also quite cheap on the PC too at about €15

    Same thing applies with amazon delivery though.

    Play screw you on the exchange rate, take a game at £39.99 that should be €45 but they charge you €49.99

    Yeah, that turned me off Play for ages. But even with the shocking conversion rate, some of their prices are still the best around. Although I do like it when there is a price match on another site that allows us to purchase in pounds. Best of both worlds.

    Used play.com religiously when living in the UK but their retarded, borderline-offensive exchange rate turned me off completely.

    I use this to check.
    http://www.getinvisiblehand.com/


    A little buggy sometimes, as in, sometimes gets the platform mixed up when looking up games and displays euro prices as pounds in the addon.

    Great addon though. Saved me a fortune over the years.
    You'll soon find out that a load of sites tend to have the product you're looking up at the same price. That's most likely because they are from the same group of retailers (thehut.com, zavvi, asda).
    It can be turned off too if you find it annoying when going onto some sites where it pops up with a price comparison when you dont want it to.

    Yeah. It uses steamworks so you have to use steam with it. Pop the disc in and it'll install to steam and then auto update. Its the kind of game that benefits from steamworks integration.

    Brilliant game, at a cracking price.

    Lol dude, I know that much! I've been using Steam since Half Life 2 was released. :P Suppose it's best just to be sure people know these things though. I just wasn't sure if a Civ V serial code would work as I've had a few games that are sold on Steam that I own on disk but I can't link the serial code there. Suppose that's pretty rare these days though!

    Ha. Sorry bout that goth. Was replying on my phone and didn't see who I was replying to. Should probably check who I'm replying to next time.

    Your problem with the serial code not being registerable on steam is that It doesn't use steamworks. Just because its on steam doest mean it uses steamworks. Most games on steam don't use steamworks but more games are starting to use it like just cause 2, civ 5, all recent valve games, fallout new Vegas among others.
    Oh and I apologize if you already knew that last paragraph. :pac:

    Ah I was just joking around, I was beginning to think I've been spending to much time on the PS3 if someone needed to explain Steam to me. :pac: Yeah I hadn't realised that the older games I had redeemed (like Lost Planet and UTIII) used Steamworks so that got my wires crossed. In a way I wish all games did as it makes reinstalling everything on a fresh OS installation so much easier.

    Sorry for the OT-ness everyone. :o

    Do they do this every bank holiday or is it a rare or random thing?

    I'd say random. It wasn't really advertised and I didn't expect it at all. Pity i couldn't find one open when i wanted to trade in Crysis 2.

    Anyone know what HMV or Game are offering?
