DrunknMunky Veteran Posted March 13, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted March 13, 2009 Try that first :p Never miss a bargain :LAnd btw, I sent of my xbox that had RROD and the warranty sticker was missing, they switched dvd drives and sent it back to me, without fixing the RROD (fair enough), but then I sent it back to them with the new warranty sticker that they slapped on there and they fixed it. Win? Interesting! Although I could have a new 360 by tomorrow, which would be ideal in comparison to the 2 week turn around. PC World staff discount is only 10% anyway. :[ So it's the same as Zavvi's offer.But I guess it's better backed if you get it from a store that's actually in business. :p They price match too though iirc, so I would get even more off. I'll double check with my mate later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad. Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Interesting! Although I could have a new 360 by tomorrow, which would be ideal in comparison to the 2 week turn around. I ended up selling that one anyway, love my Jasper :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coresx Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 The Zavvi code still works. Again, the only thing stopping me from ordering is we don't know if its a Jasper or not..:/ Thinking about Zavvi going down the tubes, selling all their console stock cheaper at the time, I imagine all old stock is gone and the stuff they are selling now must be Jaspers since they just ordered it in after they were rescued. Still, you can't be 100% sure but makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted March 16, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yeah PC World don't price mach Zavvi anymore. They only price match proper big retail stores (John Lewis, Comet, GAME, Asda etc). Try and find a friend that works at HMV! I'm pretty sure their staff discount is 30%.

GameOverRob Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 You can't get discount on consoles. Might be different for staff mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted March 16, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted March 16, 2009 That's the idea ;) He gets a discount on all the other hardware, so I doubt consoles are any different! He works at a retail park so there is plenty of shops to price match with :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOverRob Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 How much discount does he get from PC World? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted March 16, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted March 16, 2009 Not sure, I haven't spoke to him since Saturday afternoon. I'll let you know when I find out if you want :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted March 16, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted March 16, 2009 You get 10%. I work at PC World. :p If they price match you get 10% of the difference as well. So if Comet is ?10 cheaper you'll get ?11 off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOverRob Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Well thats a shame if it was 30% I might of had you posting me a few things. lol *Note to self* Try and befriend someone who works in HMV next time I get really drunk, randomly go around asking people if they work in HMV.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted March 16, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted March 16, 2009 Such a charmer :p This topic has really died of deals :( Stupid economic situation! To keep it on topic..

MightyJordan Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yeah, things have gotten really quiet. :( The only things I can see on Play.com are Tomb Raider Underworld for ?17.99, and Alone in the Dark for ?9.99, but I wouldn't even pay those prices for those games. They're terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOverRob Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Andy, I heard you got a new xbox and I thought that you might need a new controller to go with it. I think you will find this suitable: Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Pink Bundle - with Viva Pinata Party Animals game ?19.99 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted March 23, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hell yeah, I'd make it look even more awesome! I'm pretty certain my bro has a pink controller or pink battery. That's just how we roll! In all seriousness, that's a very nicely priced bundle there (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted March 23, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted March 23, 2009 It's Party Animals, not the main series title :p .Kick and I played it at T in the Park last year. It was awful lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOverRob Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Great game [that is coming from a pro evo fan!!] Shame that the box pictures two of the ugliest people in the world. Fifa 09 - ?17.99 @ HMV or Fifa 09 - ?17.99 @ Amazon 10% off for students at HMV and/or it does 3% Quidco [Only 1% if you use the 10% student discount] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James123 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 HMV have got some good deals in-store at the moment; just picked up a 120GB HDD for ?27 (it marked ?30 plus I got 10% student discount) - they've got quite a few discounted games too but I was in a hurry so didn't get time to check which ones. They had 2 left in stock here (Truro, Cornwall) and they said quite a few other places do too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
