The Great 'Student Discounts' hunt

Girlzmum

I'm in Northern Ireland and have asked in a couple of Game shops in Belfast, no each time.
Glad to hear about gamestation though!

Nice to see you're spending your student loan wisely...

I don't have a student loan and work blooming hard on top of studying full time.

Nice to see you have nothing better to do with your time.

Quick update - I asked about student discount in Game and was told flat no, no mention of NUS extra at all just no.

Thats odd, When me and my friends asked in The york store we got told 10% with an nus card. I'm in year 12/sixth form

Game offer 10% with any student card AND a reward card on full priced games only. No sale items or consoles/bundles etc, but you must have the reward card.

The stores are !!!!!!!!ting you otherwise, I work in one and that's what we are told.

Robrymond - do you know if it is any different in Northern Ireland?

I was buying a console for my dd so that could be why they said no.

Stumbled across this when browsing Athens...

It is a Microsoft scheme offering uni and schoolchildren the chance to download 'developer and design tools' software absolutely FREE of charge

There are no catches by the looks of things.. all of the packages are available to download once only, but the nice thing is they are complete rather than trial runs.

You can download all of the packages if you should want to.

Heyy guys,

Does anyone use Blyk as their phone network. Apparently 16-24yr olds can use it for free and get 217 free texts a month and 43 mins free. No cost or contract or anything. Only thing is it all seems a little too good to be true.

What does everyone else think?
