pennies starting to pinch now

i was out looking today and not many games at cheapo price new in retail,nearly all full price,haven't seen that for a while

vanquish was £20,C:LOS was £22 best i could find for newish games

i know better deals online but i'm talking game/gamestation/blockies/hmv shops here

It's MY fault!!! the price euro against pound hasn't been in favor for the euro last year so I'm not importing that many games anymore.. sure the UK is still cheaper but not waaay cheaper as 2 years ago..

Games in the shops are super expensive - especially considering the current economic situation

This. amazon.co.uk and similar are always cheaper and more convenient.
