SUPER MONKEY BALL 2
SR 35.99 play.com 34.99 (SMB1 is only 15.99 by the way)
SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE

So SR are still more expensive on most titles plus you have to pay extra for delivery. This "promotion" is very half-hearted and does not mention the original SR price so I think they have knocked hardly anything off some games ? (I stand to be corrected obviously)
At the end of the day it's your money and your choice, I would like to order more games from SR but don't when I can get them cheaper elsewhere with free delivery, and in stock games from play always arrive within 2 days.
Rant over, goodbye.

Game are selling it online and in the shops for £14.99
(I'm not advertising, just making a point - I thought SR were meant to be cheaper!)
Don't think so. :-)
Also it seems to me that GAD is a bit of a farce, so many copied and pasted reviews winning games without SR doing anything about this even when informed (see the topic in the customer service forum)
SR haven't got the manpower to regulate everything have they? You can complain about the prices but, if you're not happy with them, just shop elsewhere.
SR do some incredibly good deals on certain things, though. I got my DVD player from them and i've ordered an Eyetoy from them.
No more moaning from me for a while, must do some work.

No, they change them. Maybe you don't notice this, but the reviews that froots found were copied were deleted, the user was banned, and someone else was picked. SR just don't post in the topic. Hardly any copied reviews are successful in beating both SR and us lot, so therefore, hardly any copied reviews win GAD.
GAD is not a farce.
Still, I can't argue that they don't do some good deals.
Oh yeah, one other thing. SR please get of your @r$e and build a shop in Lincoln. Would be most appreciative.
That would be a 24 hour a day job reading 83.66 posts per hour !!!
Prehaps this topic will get read by a staff member ? (I won't hold my breath)
