"Amazing reductions", "slashed in price" I read with anticipation, then I checked out the top 5 matches for the 'Cube and

ENTER THE MATRIX
SR 32.99 play.com 29.99

SPLINTER CELL
SR 30.99 play.com 29.99

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

SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE
SR 24.99 play.com 29.99 (one exception)

HULK
SR 30.99 play.com 29.99

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.

They do their best to read them all.

And possibly why they haven't replied in some of these threads we've been discussing is because they're too busy trawling their way through our crud. :-D

That's what the 'Report this post' is all about. So they don't have to read them all.

so if you think you've posted a winner you hit report this post, I thought that was just for offensive posts etc.

I must learn to read more instructions/info before moaning (I'm being serious, not sarcastic)

The idea is that the people reading it, who thinks you are worthy of a GAD will do this. You don't just report it saying "My post is amazing, I should win a GAD for this!!!"

Yeah, I suppose. I thought that it would be used just to help the SR staff out.

Anyway, you can see from just looking at some of the posts that they aren't GAD attempts. Posts that are a couple of lines long will be ignored etc. Out of those 2000 or so, I bet 100 at most are GAD attempts.

true, SR must be able to pull off all posts that are 100 words plus for example.

I totally agree with Mr Valintio Rossi these games cheaper at paly and even cheaper at other companys. We also pay £7 on top for the 'privilege' of being a member for a year.

If SR's priced its games more competitively I would by from them more often its as simple as at.

Also sorry to rant,
