    On the DS lite page, it is still saying £49.99, but goes into your basket at £99.99 - can't you get them for false advertising or some rubbish? Says one price clearly then you add it and it doubles in price! hmmmm
    The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing:)
  • The last time Game did this (xbox spectacular?), I'm sure someone posted on these forums to say that if you are registered with GAME then you stand a better chance of nabbing a bargain before the site crashes or the stock sells through.

    Not that I've registered so I can't vouch for the accuracy of that claim, but this may be worth something to someone.
    Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills. You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills...
  • I'm gutted, got there in time, had one DS in my basket, filled out my details at checkout, clicked on confirm, bam, "Your basket is empty". Not happy. :cry:

    Yes of course this helps, it will save you filling out all of your details each time, therefore allowling you to go straight through checkout, saving time and hopefully grabing you a bargain

    I suppose the flip side is that those of us who didn't get lucky have now still got 50 quid in our pockets and won't be spending extra at around 20 quid a pop on games etc for the things.

    Still a bit peeved tho -well done soft stuff!!
