changed my plans and bought a 250gb slim, killzone 2, resistance 2 AND fifa 10 for ?284.99 at gamestation, they matched cex (+?1) and bought fifa for ?28 ca:) :)

great deal if you're looking for a sl(Y)(Y)

Nice de:) :) Killzone is a great game for sowing what the PS3 can do. Resistance isn't so hot but certainly worth a play throu:) :)

You got a 250GB and all 3 games for ?285 and then sold FIFA 10 back to gamestation? LOL?

Bunch of idiots buying it back at ?28 if you did seeing as it's selling in Supermarkets for like ?24 just now.

Agreed but they price matched CEX and were selling FIFA (both consoles @ ?40 each) like hot cakes!! It was only 11am and they'd almost sold out O.o and this was before the after school rush!

I wonder if they sold it pre-owned or put it back on the shelf as new? :unsure::

I found this site...

http://www.frog-games.co.uk/index.php

Had a look at some reviews on the 'net, and since it has only opened recently, then there isn't much on it yet. Though it does use PayPal, as others have said, so they protect you against fraud and the like.

It's INCREDIBLY cheap for us in the UK. I found it advertised on Google Mail saying Uncharted 2 for ?29.99...So, yeah...

Call of Duty- Modern Warfare 2 effectively ?25 @ Gamestation instore

Clicky

?5 when trading in 2 games, you can get 1 of the games (Overlord 2) for ?10 each on play.com just buy them now and then trade in on the d(Y)(Y)

Tempted to order them myself right now.

seems there is some debate with certain stores now allowing 2 of the same game, and some even claiming that the list of tradable games is shorter than shown in the image - So some risk to it, but still seems worth a go if you call your store in advance I guess./b>

    • I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.
    • For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.
    • So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
