"A Great Bargain on Xbox Games"

I just made a great purchase on 5 Xbox games from price-drop.tv on digital satellite channel 636.

I got a pack of the following 5 games:
The Hobbit
Crash Nitro Kart
Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter
BattleStar Galactica
Judge Dredd Vs Judge Death

for £50 plus postage.

They have more on offer (on and off) over the next few days. check out the website for price-drop.tv or it's sister channel bid-up.tv or digital satellite channels 636 & 647

I think what most of us are trying to get across is that, as is the case of Battlestar Galactica, when EVERY magazine pans a game, then it is bad. If you enjoy it....then you probably havent played good games!

There are so many really great games out there now that there is no reason to buy crap, you can buy good stuff just as cheaply.

Whether people like a game or not is completely subjective. I don't know whether I like these games or not as I haven't played them yet. Have you or are you just going on what other people say? I will make my mind up when I have played them.

Many games are fairly mediocre, but for different reasons some people still like them. If this topic is remotely still live when I have played them I will report back with my honest opinion. If after that I decide to sell them I will also let you know what I get back for them. That way I can make an honest assessment over whether the games were of good value to me or not.

Just saying a game is crap is pointless. What you mean is that the game is crap in your (or someone elses) opinion. It's like saying a film or CD is crap. I can stand most of the chart music but someone must like it, or it wouldn't be in the charts in the first place. Does it mean it's crap because I don't like it? In my opinion it is, but obviously others don't think so. Who's right me or them?

But, I think the point is that £50 can buy you 5 flipping amazing games if you are prepared to make an effort. Why settle for brown when you can have gold ? :P

On the other hand, if the guy actually likes the games, then he's got himself a good deal.

A crap game is a crap game, regardless of how much you pay for it. You bought 5 crap games, I fail to see how you aren't losing out.

I just checked the prices on amazon and you are right about Judge Dredd. However 2 of the others are £30 on amazon, 1 is £25 and the other is £15 making a grand total of £105.

I might only have 'O' Level maths but I don't see how I was ripped off

It's just swings and roundabouts

And yes I know you can look around a million other sites to find better prices if you want all the hassle, but I don't care. I am happy with the purchase and wanted to pass on the information to anyone else who might be interested. It appears no one is and that is just fine by me.

Regardless of the quality, you got ripped off price wise - for example Judge Dredd is only £5 on Amazon...

You just don't get it. If I have fun trying them out and decide ultimately to sell them, how is that losing money any more than hiring a game would be?

Better to decide for yourself on a game than blindly follow other peoples opinions like so many sheep.

whoa those games suck

Yeah, i love losing money as well.
