"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.

Afro, nothing personal, but prehaps people don't want reddies and would prefer cheaper prices (ie £1 off every game rather than a reddie) you don't think SR acutally lose money on the reddies do you ?

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)

Do Play give Reddies or run a competition in which you can win a game of your choice every day?

Don't think so. :-)

On a similar note, SR are selling 007 nightfire for £39.99

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!)
