    Game are selling the Orange box for PC for 19.99,

    there are also selling Portal for 24.99, team fortress 2 for 24.99 and the half life episode for 24.99, how retarded is that, I pointed it out to them and they said yea thats the price nothing we can do, I've seen this type of thing quite a lot , they had Dawn of war the complete collection for 19.99 at one time while they had Soulstorm for 24.99.

    Thats the thing, they'll find someone foolish to buy them. There are loads of mugs buying shíte games and judging them by their cover.

    Steam charges €30 for the Orange Box. You don't even get a box.

    Talk about a rip-off. :D

    They had a preowned copy of Fallout 3 or something for 60euro....RIGHT Beside another copy of the exact same game for 40 Euro, and on the shelf I think it was on special or something for 35

    They confuse me half the time

    However, not as bad as PC World/Currys or the likes who are just lost when it comes to pricing games. HONESTLY....Fifa 07 was priced at 45 euro, this was 2 weeks ago !

    Sigh...

    They suck at pricing games, you just know when you see Fifa 07 sold at a price like that.

    I say sometimes its a mistake and pricing labels haven't been updated. Others are probably the single games were bought awhile ago and they're trying to recover the cost, while Value changed the orange pack RRP or distributor gave them some deal.

    Saying that I was in GAME the other day and they had megadrive collection for ps3 on a stand. On the same shelf there was two prices, left side was €39.99 and right side was €34.99. Both covers looked the same.
