"Shame on you Dixons."

Anyone been into Dixons recently?

The words 'price crash', and 'clear out' spring to mind.

No new titles in store, all remaining games £24.99 or less to clear, official pads £15.98.

GC shelves half empty, and not being re-stocked.

Even worse, their new games catalogue doesn't make any mention the GC, as if it never happened.

So, cheap consoles may boost sales short term, but no-one's gonna be buying their GCs from Dixons in the very near future.

V.

Obviously I don't really care, I love my GC, and the satisfying number of excellent games, but stores that choose to support XBox and drops GC?

Purleez...

(Shame on you, Dixons)

Didn't look like it. Not the copy I saw anyway...

Isn't GTA3 platinum now?

Was in there today. Cube stock seems to be winding up now.

Still, the PS2 stuff didn't seem badly priced, GTA3 for £23, VC for £30, and a free (3rd party) pad with every game over £35.

if dixons aren't selling its because they insist on taking the normal price then adding 25% and calling it a deal. Even games which have been out for a year or two are always full priced. Just because they can't run a shop! GAME< SR and the likes provide much better prices so obviously they can't compete

24.99 buy them while u can then bully them to restock there not exactly smart are they!!!!

SSBM's single player rules. Event matches, collecting trophies, stadium mini games, clasic; adventure; all star - and that's not to mention the various and unlockable characters, stages and difficulty settings.

Multiplayer rocks equally. Top stuff.

Smash Brothers is the most uniquely fantastic multiplayer game around!
Still, I suppose that's useless if you have no one to play against...

Hmph. Any decent Xbox game, Cube could match - and then some too. The Cube has an identical back catalogue to the PS2 in terms of quality. So I know which one I'd buy..

You can't go waving around games that aren't even out (here) yet :^P

Okay, pikmin is pretty unique, but (imo) ssbm wasn't anything that special.

DVD player, decent online blah.

Oh, cube's 56k compatibility though... ahhhh...

Apart from the quirky and multiplayer games, don't forget!

Pikmin, Animal Crossing etc rule the quirky roost while Smash Brothers, Mario Kart etc hold the multiplayer crown. :-)
