Was I not here when you guys were discussing the Asda Ratchet deal? I missed out!

Oh, and am I the only one for whom the Invisible Hand extension just plum doesn't work for any more?
 
HUKD reckons you might be able to buy 2 copies of Halo Anniversary and exchange them plus 99p for a year's Live Gold at Gamestation making it around £19. I would have thought they might have something to say about trading in two copies of the same game, though.

Fuck that. Really gonna miss PlanetAxel :'(
 
This one might be old, but I popped into my local Asda yesterday and they had a load of copies of Child of Eden (360) in a bargain bin for £5. Doesn't seem to be available on their direct website any more.

Thank you Alessandro and welcome :).

Does anyone think Halo Anniversary will drop lower than that if I give it time?

I am tempted by that price even though I do not have a 360 to play it on. The original game got me to buy the original XBox and I tried to replay it recently but the frame rate and graphics that hadn't held up well was spoiling my happy memories so I stopped.

I don't pay much attention to PS360 prices in here as I don't have either console so if anyone can advise me to wait as it is likely to drop lower still in price I would appreciate it :).
 
Thanks guys I guess...

Is Rhythm Thief ever going to drop in price, or would it be best to pick it up before it becomes hard to find? Decisions decisions...
 
I cancelled my Rhythm Thief pre-order when I saw Sonic Generations in a supermarket for £10.
I went with the whole 'it's Sega, it's bound to drop' line of thinking.
It's come back to bite me now though :(
 
I was using Shinobi and Sonic Generations to gauge Sega 3DS game price drops in preparation for Rhythm Thief but those dastardly fiends at Nintendo had to take over publishing duties leaving the price drop situation in a far less obvious one.
 
No Ratchet and Clank from Asda for me either. Considering people who ordered later than us have received theirs days ago, it's not on. Going to ring them and find out what they're playing at.

You reckon?!

Let us know how you get on.

Sorry, just got home. Phoned their customer services before, apparently dispatching the game has been "delayed" (they didn't give a reason) and I can expect to receive it by July 6th, which is an absolute joke. I assume it'll be the same for everyone who ordered when it was cheap.

Conveniently enough they seem to have dispatched orders at the "proper" price already, funny that. I asked them why they don't process orders on a first come first served basis, surprise surprise they "didn't know why that had happened".

Apparently we all should have received an email telling us about the delay with the new estimated delivery date and a £5 voucher. I hadn't received the email by that time (still haven't) so I told them and I was emailed a £5 voucher for Asda Direct. So it may be worth a few minutes on the phone for a £5 voucher if you're still waiting for the game.

Still not impressed at all with their service, the game was taken down between the price change, so there's no way our orders weren't in their system before the orders at the adjusted price. Very poor effort from Asda.

If I do get sent a voucher, I doubt I'll even use it now. Why bother with Asda again when there are so many other great retailers out there competing for my money.
 
Rhythm Thief is a SEGA game but it's distributed by Nintendo, so it's bound to be harder to find it cheap any time soon (unless it truly has flopped hard). Sonic Generations was distributed by SEGA themselves and their games usually drop in price fairly quick.
