    I went to BB today, and asked to trade in fifa09 for wii play, they said no problem. Fifa09 and Wii play both retail at £34.99, so the guy behind the counter said I will do a straight swap. - I was well chuffed. :D

    Nintendo Wii inc Wii Sports
    Mario Kart Inc Wheel
    Wii Play inc extra controller
    all for £179.99

    So a big thanks to 'Snowbrow' for alerting me and fellow savers of the offer coming available. - That's the boys chrissie present sorted !! :T

    Can I ask which branches of bb you went to, to get these swapped over as I have just been to my local one and they would not let me swap it all! Thought its a bit strange that they do it in some stores and not others!

    And not sure if everyone is aware but its not just this weekend apparently its till this friday - well this is what the store manager said at my local one anyway.:rolleyes:

    Hi Andrea,
    I went to Blockbusters in Hereford. - The man said that they were short of Fifa09 to sell at full price, so that is why he did a straight swap. I don't think it was the normal thing to do, I guess I was lucky on the day. - Maybe you could try again when there appears to be a younger member of staff on and try your luck. HTH.

    A big thank you to Snowbrow for this post.

    Went to BB this morning, they wouldn't swap Fifa for WiiPlay so just paid the £12.99 extra. I'm delighted, it's all hidden in the wardrobe until Christmas Eve, my little boy will be over the moon!!

    Snowbrow, great post thank you. One post on here says the offer was for the weekend only and one post says it's on until Friday. Please can you confirm which is right? Thanks in advance.

    Just looked on site and Blockbuster offer appears to be over. They are now selling console + play for £179.99
    I have gained from advice as well as bargains here, so if I can help in any way, I am only too pleased to do so and appreciate your thanks.

    I spoke to a manager on saturday and he said it was for 10 days or when stock runs out, whichever is sooner.

    ps i couldn't see the offer anywhere on the site! How did you find it?!
