    looking in gamestop on Sat. 70euro for a new copy of Medal of Honor, 60euro for a second hand copy. Damn you EA for region coding this crap. no way after playing the demo is it worth 70, or even 60 euro!

    Asked if I could trade in 2 games against it, they need to be of 40euro value or more, so could have gotten €8 for the outfit and €15 for lost planet! era lads stop.. they are selling both those for €28 and €45 !!

    It's more Gamestops fault for being total rip-off merchants.The RRP is 60 euros yet they are charging 70 euros for a lot of new games. It's the same in Xtra-vision, maybe game but haven't been in one for a while. You should try smyths. They are usually cheaper and with their free loyalty card you get 10% off the price on release.

    Of course nothing beats on-line shopping. Sega Rally in Gamestop - 70 euros it's only ~48 euros on www.blahdvd.com

    True, but when you can buy region-free versions on play-asia for €35 its hard to pay more than that :)
