Cheap Arse Gaffer (Euro Gaming) Thread 2 - Add to your backlog with ease

In an experience that blew my mind, I went into my local Game and saw newish games for relatively cheap prices.
Playstation All Stars, WWE13 and Hitman Absolution were all on £20, I think that's the lowest i've heard of All Stars costing so far, now i'm going to wait and see if it trickles lower.
 
Has Dragon's Dogma been lower than £9.99?
It doesn't look like it, but the trackers are never 100% conclusive:

Now at zavvi as well for 20pounds (PS3/360). PC version was left at 27pounds lol.

Hitman Absolution bombs too fast. I'm unable to keep up.
HUKD: it's now 18pounds @ hmv in-store (not yet on website).

stolen from HUKD (idk if linking to HUKD is okay, so I don't do it):

(it seems you need to tell them that it's available from game for 20pounds, they will beat that price by 2pounds)
 
Aren't these Morrison's 98p deals extremely rare and only created to get people to visit stores?
Well what happened is the non-chart games dropped in prices gradually as they do. Only problem is most stores don't have the manpower to update the prices. Especially ones without an entertainment desk.

This results in it looking like (from a head office perspective) things like Skyrim are not selling at £25, £20, £15, £10...when in fact its not selling because it has a £39.99 sticker on it.

So result. Drop it to 98p thats bound to shift it. Of course it brings in staff getting most the good stuff. Not there is that much to start with. Most Morrisons stores may have like 5 or 10 (or even less) of these games (and most of them may be buried in the back of a draw somewhere). I remember a few years back they had all Wii games £15. I was there at a store as it opened first day of promotion. They had one copy of Mario Kart (I didn't get it).

I guess you could say its a way of flushing out the system. DSG group do the same thing.

Apparently they can't return these games as the supplier they bought them from went bust. As for the stories of one person coming in to buy everything (most staff will tell you this is what happens). Some stores did try to enforce policies but all they got was some customers abusing the staff (calling them racist names etc) so its best to let the scum have the lot so they leave the store sooner.

Basically in an age of hotukdeals existing these deals are impossible to obtain as simply too many people know for the small supply.
 
like i said elsewhere. i went to 5 stores got about 10 games.. ONLY one was 1 x dishonoured.. 98p.. petrol spent etc etc.. made it just about worthwhile as most were crap ds games.... Just dropping my comments on morrisons in on this!
 
How playable is this without the extra stick?

Adding insult to injury, aiming feels off. The default control scheme requires aiming with the face buttons, which is hardly ideal when such pixel-perfect precision is required. Using the Circle Pad Pro add-on helps, but even this is awkward and imprecise, ranging from sluggish to jerky. The kicker is that this all could have been avoided had the game included gyroscopic aiming. This worked wonders in the 3DS version of Ocarina of Time and Resident Evil: Revelations, so it's especially disappointing that it's not included here.

hmm, that's a good price but I don't know if I want it again. decisions, decisions.
 
Sitting at work without my online shopping credit card. Hopefully they stick around for the next few hours. May bite on Kirby. Never got Epic Yarn either.
 
Still would want a copy of Skyward Sword from Amazon. If someone could add one to the order. Paypal ready, but I hate this insane shipping costs when using Amazon...
 
I now know my CC number and CCV2 code...I'm never bothered to order that way !
I'm terrible at remembering things. Also I got a brand new card that I've only used once.

Even £20 for a Remote+ seems like daylight robbery... especially as you need two for multiplayer NSMBU. What a load of shit that is.

I thought you could use standard remotes with it? Of course that also means having them to begin with.
 
Thanks for the Wii Play Motion deal, I ordered but now it says "may take up to 2 days to deliver". Not too confident I have not been late to this party.
 
Thanks for the wiimote plus deal.

I am looking to upgrade my old wiimote to motion plus too.

Anyone know a better deal than 15GBP for a Official Nintendo Wii Motion Plus dongle?
 
I wouldn't worry about that. They say that on a lot of items at this time of year

Yeah, they just charged my debit card, so I guess it is shipping soon. So happy with this deal!

Now to think about the Kirby one, decissions decissions

EDIT: btw, do we know for sure if that super-cheap 15 pounds skyward sword comes with or without the CD?

EDIT 2: Kirby is gone :-(
