    people are real fools just because its a bit of media hype people are buying things they dont need

    Seriously - this game will be £14.99 within the next month!

    DS consoles yeah grab it (if you can) but Game is really pulling the wool over everyone's eyes!!

    Why are they pulling the wool over everyones eyes?

    The buyer knows the price your getting it for before they buy it and there's no catch.

    It's up to the buyer wether they actually buy it or not.
    I would have used my own initiative if someone would have told me to!

    I wouldnt say that. They are offering games at a decent price.
    Its hardly worth pushing each other to get tho.
    In many ways they have shot themselves in the foot. If they had offered 100 DS Lite at £75 people would have still snapped them up. More people would have been happy, the time margin would be greater , and everybody would be saying good bargain.
    Because the prices were so cheap, people moan that they cant get on the site, or cant get the bargain, yet then moan that games are not £10 or less.
    They dont HAVE to sell anything as cheap as they did with the consoles.
    People are expecting similar bargains on games to what they saw on the console, but it was never likely to happen (unless the game is really old or poor).
    Be nice

    Hiya

    What is nintendogs like? I bought one for my son as he wants a DS and is only 6 so thought would be up his street. I had a DS in my cart earlier and got right through to check out then there was a 'problem with my cart' BAH!

    Its not really creating the favourable impression that you'd think they'd be going for... there have to be 1000s of first time game.net customers who are going to hate them pretty soon because they thought they had a bargain and then the site crashed.

    I'd agree that chucking out 100 or more £75 ds lites would have resulted in much more happiness all round.

    EDIT: Still, think of the number of people who'll have registered today and will be getting spams from now on... ;)
    stay lucky!
    Steve.
