Ok, I'll start us off. Lumines 2 amazon £15.
Beat that one chaps :P
Maybe I'll get a chance to go to the other one in Exeter tomorrow, otherwise I'll have to wait till Wednesday.
Yes. Bring in any Pre-owned chart game and get a brand new chart (different chart) game for £14.99.
...if it's in stock...
Still might try my luck with a old title though. :)
> Tiger Woods 2007 - 20/25 quid in HMV
> Gears of War - 22 quid on it's own in Blockbuster
> FEAR - About 25 quid
> Fifa 2007 - 14 quid on play (or it was last time I checked)
> Oblivion* - 20 quid
> Call of Duty 3 - 27 quid
> Need for Speed Carbon - 27 quid
> Test Drive Unlimited* - 20 quid
> Dead Rising* - 20 quid
Starred titles are in a BOGOF deal in HMV at about 40 quid.
So a lot of those aren't such a great deal in the £14.99 offer but Crackdown and Battlestations: Midway being in there really is a pretty sweet deal as they're both still selling at full RRP everywhere else.
As the current second-hand list is generally full of recent titles it's not bad, although I suppose it does mean you have to wait about a week to get the new titles at the bargain price.
But then yesterday I went in to GAME and traded in another, cheaper, game against a second hand Tiger Woods 07, then traded this in for GOW and store credit, so it still works against Blockbuster. (actually, I didn't end up getting GOW as they'd un-surprisingly sold out).
However, only allowing you the current second hand chart does limit things a bit.
Trying to remember what these are:
Just Cause
Tiger Woods 2007
Gears of War
FEAR
Fifa 2007
Oblivion
Call of Duty 3
Need for Speed Carbon
Test Drive Unlimited (possibly)
Dead Rising (possibly)
If anyone's going in to Blockbuster they can confirm the rest...
If Blockbuster has a game that I want, that's in the £14.99 offer as all the brand new games seem to be, I can buy another brand new game from Woolies/HMV trade it in for 26 quid or so get the game I actually want for £14.99 and net myself some bonus store credit every single time.
It seems like they haven't thought it through really, I'd expect to see 'exempt from £14.99 offer' stickers appearing on things like GRAW 2 in the coming weeks. :D

Is that trade in for any 360 game? SO I can trade in Kameo and get GOW?
