I was at Asda with my mam today. We was at the DVD section, where she bought The Transportter if anyone wishes to know, and I stumbled upon the game section.
I wanted Vice so bad, still got it, before it came out. So for the first time ever I preordered a game, Vice City, but I could only afford £20 so I traded GTA 3 in for £20. I have regretted that for a long time, not selling it but not having it.
Anyway as I walked along, I saw GTA 3 on the platinum area for £20, I had £15, but I don't like buying plattinum becasue the colours simply ruin my collection and becasue it makes me feel cheap. But I walked away and what do I see, GTA 3 non-plattinum and new for £14.97. I couldn't resist. It now sits firmly ontop of GTA Vice and below Twisted Metal Black Online.
Last time I only got about 80 odd % done on it, and I deleted it off my memory card, so that means I will get 100% this time. Sadly since my extra cables arrive on Monday I shall not be going on it for sometime. Couples of half terms ago I completed Vice, this summer I complete GTA 3.
What a deal I thought. What do you think?

May I also add this time I will not use cheats, plus I can't wait to fly that dodo.
It wasn' a life story. If it was I would of posted it in the Life forum.
Who's up next for telling us their life story? Anyone?
Oh well in that case very nice deal :-)

But my GTA 3 isn't pre ownded. I have never bought a pre owned Playstation2 game. I even bought a new crappy lotus challenge game, traded that in a week later. I believe it was for somethig like WWF SMACKDOWN 2.

GTA 3 new for £14.97 is a veritable bargain. That's the great thing about the superstores though, they usually have one or two titles for the PS2 at crazy prices, Tescos do it all the time round my way.
