"Bargains"

Picked up a lot of quality buys in my view over the last few days, I've spent around £200 in the last few days on DVD's and Games.

Grabbed most of them for £20:

Driver 3 - Wouldn't pay £40 for it but I think it's an alright game at £20 if a little frustrating at times.

POP2 - Haven't played the Xbox version yet, got it again at £20 but I was impressed with the PC version, also got it for the live content and the extra live modes too - looks like a good buy.

Flatout - Again I enjoyed the PC demo and I've been patiently waiting for this to go down in price and I picked it up today in Gamestation for £20, so I'll be giving this a bash on live later hopefully.

Street Fighter Anniversary Collection - Again another £20 bargain I've wanted for a few weeks which I have been holding back for. Seems impressive and it certainly brings back a few memories, if anyone else has this I'll be up for a fight on live as no one was online playing this morning - quite enjoyed it.

Mortal Kombat : Deception - I mainly wanted this for Live play but again felt it wouldn't be worth £40 just about to try it out and It's had decent enough reviews but at least I've got this and SF to keep me busy until DOA:U next year.

And I also picked up Mario Party 5 for £9.99 which I've also wanted for ages, anyone else grabbed any bargains? I think the sales have been pretty decent this time round, usually they have been pretty dire as far as games go!

"Where was GR2 only £18? I've seen it at £25 and I thought that was good."

Play.com have it for £17.99 delivered.

Well worth it!

Got Psi-ops for £9.98, Fable for £17.98 and Flatout for £16. Also picked up donkey konga but that was not in any deals.

Yeah I got one the other day when buying a new PS2 memory card and GTA: SA for my little bro, should come in handy.

HMV has this new-fangled 'Games Card' that'll give you 10% off anything games-related (Accessories, games, etc etc..) I can imagine that'll be v. useful if they can keep their min release titles down at £30 post-sales...

I have been playing SF and MK a lot and I'm still getting my ass owned online, seems I'll have to learn everyones combo's..MK is very fast paced and its pretty overwhelming when you first play it online, I think I prefer SF though, a true classic. I haven't been feeling too well so I'll be giving these a proper go tomorrow and friday.

Driv3r is best experienced outside of the Undercover mode.

Driving games, take a ride, directing replays - all far more enjoyable than the erratic main game.

Game are properly wierd, last week my brother picked up a copy of PsiOps for £19.99, when they had had a copy of the same game for £39.99 right next to it..

£20 seems fair for Burnout..

I picked up Morrowind and all of its expansion packs for £15, which I thought was a pretty nice price.

Where was GR2 only £18? I've seen it at £25 and I thought that was good.

Outrun 2, £15, Virgin.

Was going to get Max Payne 2, but couldn't be arsed with the queues. Will get Mechassault if I can get it for £4. Lots of Turok at £4 mind.
