I still need to play that game, I've been meaning to do it for ages.

Deals Of The Week:

Mega Man 10 - 400 pts (?3.40)

After Burner Climax - 400 pts (?3.40)

Scrap Metal - 1200 pts (?10.20)

Death by Cube - 400 pts (?3.40)

[GameOverRob]

I swear Scrap Metal has always been 1200 points, as I'm fairly sure that is what I paid for it when it came out

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I took the price directly from Xbox.com, but it seems the price was wrong. Via Major Nelson: Scrap Metal - 800 pts (£6.80)

Is Scrap Metal worth buying? The demo was fun but not sure if its worth it

[scokem]

If you head over to The Hut you can pick up:

Bayonetta

For a mere ?8.93 so long as you use the code GAMEDAY10 :) Definitely worth it at that price!

Yeah I enjoy it, it reminds me of micro machines. Good value for 800 points.

Since disabling email updates on immediate forum replies - who needs the stress! - I've actually found that making this thread a sticky has decreased its visibility, to me at least. Seeing the US Deals thread being updated alongside the stickied UK version has made me realise this.

[MillionVoltss]

Agreed,

Still got my 360 S pre-ordered at ShopTo at £184.85, with my fiver off making it £179.85 (from predicting the football), is that the cheapest? I've heard a rumour that Sainsbury's will be selling it for £140, anyone else heard it?

Selling the new Xbox 360 for ?140? Not in a million years.

/me just got from the year 1,002,009 and can confirm the 360S is being sold in Sainsburys for £139.99 which is slightly less than a million years :p

Mind you the new virtual reality 360 is amazing there, its just like the holodeck from startrek.

[acnpt]

Sainsburys did sell the Wii (motion plus + resort pack) cheap a couple months ago, but ?139.99 seems far too cheap.

Wish I hadn't pre-ordered from GAME, awful company, still ?199.99, don't have a choice as I've got a bloody gift card :pinch:

You so funny John :p

No but seriously, it's not happening, and certainly not with a supermarket. This type of deal would be something to expect from a retailer like Game/HMV etc. Even then it wouldn't happen. Undercutting the competition by ?60 would prob require sexual favours ;)

..and even if by some miracle supermarkets DID offer it for ?140, you'd get the likes of Game/Gamestation employees buying up all the stock on behalf of the company an then selling them at the R.R.P in their own stores

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

lol are they allowed to do that?

[MightyJordan]

It wouldn't surprise me if GAME/Gamestation (the same group) did do it.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Something tells me they wouldn't be able to do it at consumer level, but possibly at wholesaler level they could.

[GameOverRob]

Well if it is ?140 on release day in Sainsburys I will deffo buy one

Yeah, it's really tempting, but I have to resist. There's absolutely no point for me to buy one while my current one still works perfectly fine.

[acnpt]

Have GAME ever sold anything cheap on release day?

Do they even have the buying power now for hardware? Most places have at least twice the number of Sainsburys as GAME stores.

If they do sell cheap anywhere, independent retailers will be buying them, like they did with MW2.
