    I was wondering what the xbox mods would think of a dedicated Bargain Alerts thread to be stickied here, like you find in eg Building and Upgrading in the computer hardware forum? somewhere for people who dont frequent BA too often but dont want to miss out on xbox games etc.


    If ye dont mind, ill get the ball rolling...


    Bioshock 2 [Amazon] £7.99 and free delivery if you spend over £25..


    also, as a BA request, anyone know the cheapest price/place for BBC2 and Red Dead Redemption? best i can find for RDR is £37..

    Can't find Red Dead any cheaper myself either, Bad Company 2 is £25 on Amazon which is the cheapest I can find.

    I use invisible hand (Firefox addon) to check prices when on some of the larger online retailers.

    And check out billybargain.co.uk for comparing prices on xbox games/ most things. It's prices are in sterling. I don't think it includes postage(s) to Ireland in its price comparisons.

    At the moment the cheapest place for BBC2 is £25 on amazon from both
    RDR is £36.93 from the hut on invisible hand and £35.99 from gameplay on billy bargain.

    Dont use FF, more an Opera fanboy myself :P but thanks for the billybargain link...bookmarked..

    also HUKD is fantastic for bargains..

    i went ahead and ordered RDR from amazon for £37, because i had bioshock2 in the basket and they qualify for free delivery. i can wait a while for BBC2 do drop in price some more, cause im in no rush to let go od MW1 and MW2..

    HMV still have Bionic Commando for €3.99 in some shops, they also had Lost for 5.99 which is good for an easy 1k GS but didn't have many copies from what I saw.

    Keeping an eye on HotUKDeals and CheapAssGamer is always a good idea for spotting good deals.
