    My local xtra-vision are having a sale at the moment. Don't know about other xtra-visions. Anyway all Cube games are less than 40 yoyos and joypads are 33 yoyos which although 7 cheaper is not bad for an official joypad.

    Just started getting back into Eternal Darkness after a few months of FPSs - Medal of Honor: Frontline and TimeSplitters II being the most notable culprits for my lack of magick-casting etc.

    Haven't spent more than 20 minutes with RE1 since I got it off TmB, and haven't gone near Rogue Leader since January (and it's nowhere near being finished!). Smash Bros. hardly gets a look-in at all.

    And now 'Cube games are going for half-nothing!!

    *head spins*

    Wait until I get Zelda.... :eek: *gibbers*

    Did a tour of all the other Dixons, PC Worlds and Currys. The only thing that turn up were 3rd party controllers in Tallaght for €2.

    Didn't go to Dixons in Swords though.

    I hardly think the Cube is out. Most Cube owners really know there games so don't buy from rip-off merchants like dixons. They just weren't selling. They took the price down and they are now flying off the shelf.

    I don't think the cubes on the way out either. I wouldn't normally buy anything from Dixons etc but I'd always look. You never know when something like this happens. It helps if you've got a credit card!

    When Virgin cleared out of the DC I got 6 games and 3 controllers for a tenner each.

    I've never used the controllers tho!:confused:
