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.

Easily worth the €10 they are asking. Looking around, that game is still at a really high price in the online retailers, considering what Activision did for it on launch, as in nothing!

HMV have singularity for 11.99 on ps3.

Persona 4 (PS2) is in CEX for €18

OK not the biggest bargain ever but a difficult to find game (and a brilliant one too)

Crysis 2 is £14.99 on the PC over at Amazon, but is temporarily out of stock... No harm in placing an order if you're prepared to wait a bit, the next best price that Invisible hand lists is £26.85 on TheHut!!!

Change buying options to Amazon.co.uk on the right hand side

It seems as though you need an email address that can validate your age via 192.com, which is a directory for the UK. So anyone outside the UK wont be able to avail of the Sega Pack 1. Sega Pack 2 it is.
