    All the PS3-Xbox games €54.99 still. A couple of pre-owned game had some prices cut off and some new game out 2 years+ but that was all. Nowhere near 50%.

    All the top 10 games remained the same price. On amazon.co.uk Fifa 12 PS3 costs the equivalent of €32.55, €54.99 in game. Battlefield 3 PS3 €30 on amazon, €54.99 in game. Rip-off Ireland still alive I see.

    I expect if you read the small print, it's up to 50% off selected titles.
    No shop will discount 50% off everything.

    I wouldn't say GameStop is as bad, got the limited edition of Dark Souls new for €29 last week.

    I think the store you were in hadn't done their price changes. I was in Game today and the only thing I saw for €54.99 was MW3. Battlefield was def €35 because the OH actually bought it. And I remember Fifa being pretty cheap but can't remember the price offhand
    Yeah, a fair few of the chart titles weren't discounted as much as I'd like but that games for ya.
    Got Space Marine with the armour dlc for €15 though for myself, pretty happy with that.

    I got a Game voucher for Christmas and had planned to pick up a game on the cheap, but the sales are disappointing this year. Think I'll be holding onto the voucher for FFXIII-2!

    They had some good prices when I went in. I got Deus Ex for 12 pre-owned, Cursed Crusade for 14 new, and a few others that were very well priced.

    In fairness the game sale did start on the 23rd of December. So by now there wouldn't be anything decent left. Did manage to pick up a few things and did see some bargains for xbox,Wii and Ps3 on the 23rd.

    They didn't have much. I got Warhammer for 15, RAGE Pre Owned for 7.95, LA Noire for 5.95 and I think God of War 3 for something like 4e. Some good deals. GameStop was a bit better. Got Dead Rising: Off the Record for 15 and GoldenEye and Rayman for 25 each.

    Speaking of game prices...
    I recently picked up RAGE for 20 euro and Deus Ex 3 for 17 euro. Brand new. Sealed. A bargain :D

    I know we all say, But it really is mental to pay full price for games. Just wait a few months and they'll come down in price (with the exception of the likes of call of duty etc)

    I rarely see games worth buying in Tescos and Xtravision. They have games at launch but they don't have the same range. I have a DS and a Wii and they seem to stock a lot of shovel ware for them. So much Imagine and that sort of rubbish. I got Chocobo Tales as a present in Gamestop for a christmas present and we got Recoded in Game the other day. You just don't find them in Tesco and Xtravision.
