Voided by AC runners up prize.

@ Machina, I like them, most of the time they do offer decent deals of software returns, that although still a rip-off are still just about worth it. I got my reward card ages ago, so that does not really concern me, but they do do some good things, like when the PSP slim and lite came out, they let you return your old PSP for £60, and you could get it online, and then take the PSP into store, a really good idea. What I do like it that you get double reward points for pre-orders, so I got £2.50 for my CoD 4, and I always buy from them if I don't get it from amazon, so I have £5 in reward points, which will be going towards their Assassins Creed exclusive special edition with Altair

Never shop there myself, they are always more expensive than Tesco or internet.

Those are the exact two that I would have picked, and in that order. Kudos to the site for making the right decision.

Though Assassin's Creed as an honorable mention is sort of dumb...



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

 Exactly. I can't understand how they survive. I guess too many gamers are idiots who are incapable of finding cheaper prices or impatient little children who can't wait a whole two days for their game to arrive in the post.

I dunno why Game are still around to be honest. I haven't bought anything from them in years. Play.com, Amazon.co.uk, Asda (bleugh), tesco.com.....probably cdwow.com. They're all cheaper than Game.
Plus when you buy online you don't get attitude from the guy selling it to you and they don't insist you buy game guide to go with it.
My next DS (Advance Wars) game is coming from Amazon USA courtesy of my partner's next business trip.
