Not really, got my 360 arcade for 112 Euro at Amazon.de. Consoles are cheaper in Germany.

Next time post it as a deal as those are obvious not standard prices or the post from sphinx would not have been made in the first place.

Football Manager 2012 (PC) - $5.99 / £3.78 / €4.51 @ Amazon US (Key redeemable on Steam)

You just have to enter a US address on the site, but the code will be delivered via email offered on the site after you buy. HUKD reccomeds using a Delaware zipcode to make things a few pennies cheaper... here is a long list

Will buying this from europe not cause any problems with Valve as some other websites, given this is a proper digital service and not some (retail?) keys from god knows where?

That was an offer in June 2011 for the 360 slim arcade. It was posted on every german bargain site and the offer was online for several days. People werent interested at all, which is weird because thats a great price. I really like that forum here, but I hate those bastards and HotUKDeals... Btw a 360 without a HDD is crap imo. Most of the exclusives are XBLA games and I never play games without installing them.

Btw you could check the date of my first post.:P

Lowest prices for new consoles I can remember:
3DS 112 Euro
PSP 3000 50 Euro
PS3 160 GB 176 Euro

But those were really limited offers and sold out fast. Almost impossible to get one online...

Good prices indeed but I have what I want from this list. Any other good prices?

Spoke to a girl working at my local Game and she said they'd only just finished pricing up the sale items tonight and the offers varied from store to store. There may be more items added as time goes on.

I got (all PS3):
Alpha Protocol £1.98
Brutal Legend £2.98
Resistance 3 £7.98
Singularity £2.98

There were plenty more but I tried to limit myself to stuff I *might* actually play.
 
GAME are selling off MS points cards at basically half price (if you can find the one store in the UK which will still have any left by the time I type this)

800 for £2.98 and 1200 for £4.98.

Some guy got 8000 points for £29.80. It would seem like GAME are already dead. HUKD Threads here and here
 
Have just looked on Games website and they have reduced a ton of stuff overnight.

Alot of its out of stock but you may get lucky in store.

Skyward sword is still showing in stock for 24.99.

Just noticed they have Aliens Infestation (DS) for £7.98.

Seems a decent price.
 
Posted this in the GAME thread but it should be of interest to some people in here if they honour it:

Castlevania Lords of Shadow: Collectors Edition (PS3, NEW) - £2.98 at Game

It says "preorder" for some reason, but you can buy it (I've got an order placed). Whether they'll honour it I don't know but it's worth a try!

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Collector's Edition Includes:

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow videogame
Replica God Mask
Videogame Soundtrack composed by Óscar Araujo

Hmmmm. Let us know how you get on with that. I can't imagine they have the stock to honour it at all.

Edit: It changes to "in stock" at the checkout. Ooh. Ordered.

It then goes back to preorder in the final screen.

Placed an order but I'm sure they probably won't deliver.
 
I got two emails at the same time - "Thanks for your preorder" and "Order confirmed". The wait begins... expecting it to be cancelled though!

same here. two emails one after another.

who knows, maybe these were left in some dusty corner. probably some MANAGERS DEAL gone awry. xD
 
Chopper said:
That's pretty good, assuming it's in excellent condition. I picked up Kirby Mass Attack in the GAME sale yesterday for the same price. Don't think I'll ever find it cheaper.

Has anyone ever seen Kirby Adventure Wii for a decent price? It's very tricky to find in the shops!
Click to expand...

Best price I could find was around £26 on shopto but it's not in stock right now The price is barely budging on this one, I got it back in January for the same price because playing the waiting game didn't seem to be having much effect.

Thanks man. I'll keep an eye on it. How likely is it to come back in stock?

It depends on what you call a decent price but if it's anything like Epic Yarn then you might be waiting a while. I've been waiting for Epic Yarn to hit sub £15 since it came out last year.

It was £9.99 delivered from Blockbuster late last year... Pretty fun game, but a bit easy :P

Standard Nintendo affair. Although, I've definitely seen Epic Yarn kicking about. £15 is optimistic, but I'm almost positive I've seen it in HMV for £20.

Bam! Castlevania price change. Cancellation emails incoming...

How is the replay value on the first one? I heard that online was implemented with the third game. I want the 3DS game because of the avatars :)
Click to expand...

There's no replay value. It's a 15 to 20 hour long game with a couple of post game matches and that's it. Absolutely worth the price, though.
