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.

LOL, as in the little suckers have to wait a week longer. :)

The gifts aren't that great. I would personally like cheaper games than some trinkets that SR can't get rid of any other way.

Damarus, I've done the same to get the extension leads, I think the membership/reddie thing is OK, but everyday prices are just a few quid too high to be competitive, remember a lot of games are bought by kids on pocket money etc so 3 or 5 quid difference in price is alot to them.

Nah, about £2. Don't forget that the "FREE" gift is about £5 of that total. Sometimes I renew just to get the free gifts. Like the controller extensions for example. They're like 5 or 6 quid each normally but from SR you get 2 for £7.

My aplogies for the spelling ;P

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,

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

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.
