  • I got thw mario soccer bundle and 2 extras for £49.99 and i ticked the donatae 20p to charity option on teh ticket but the woman either didnt see it or bother as the person next to her needed some help.

    Maybe i should of said something:( Although i felt it was a little cheeky asking.
  • Ok so tomorrow im gonna go and get £50 argos vouchers and recieve £5 free then buy white one with football , free controller and free momorystick (only one in stock at local argos) spend £49.99 and also make 20p donation to charity and get a £5 voucher back -- total cost effectively around £40

    Still a shame they dont give you the extra game instore for free now that would be a super bargain

    i live in the london area and none of the argos near me will let me buy gift vouchers,i end up buying batteries or another pressie. :xmassign:
  • I was lucky, i somehow managed to reserve 2 of this, one at each store in my city, both stores must of only had one each as when i tried to reserve to at each one it said they didnt have it until weds 14th.

    Finally my luck has changed :)

    Also does anyone know where i can get some cheap gamecube games from?

    Thanks
  • Gamestation have a great offer on pre-owned gamecube games, 2 for £20, and if your willing to search, there should be some brilliant games.

    We got Luigis Mansion, Metroid 2, Viewtiful Joe 2 and sonic heros (OH's choice) for £40

    The first 3 are all listed in Games magazine 'essential gamecube purchases' list.
