    A few shops I was in did have stock through inthe store room so every chance there will be other stuff added. Some of the price changes only came in today!

    Just got back from WHSmiths in the Weston Favell Centre
    Picked up
    Medal of Honor Rising Sun
    Crash - Twinsanity
    007 Everything or Nothing
    Vietcong - Purple Haze
    All for the XBOX and £1 each
    Sales person was shocked at the price.
    They also have some GBA accessories at £1
    Other games for PSP/DS and PS2 but prices ranged from £4.99 upwards
    But in front of the cash desk, they had 2 baskets of 'coverless' cd's £3
    and DVD's £6
    A couple of boxsets Futurama I noticed at £12 I think.
    P.S Entrance is downstairs not up, if you are not familiar with the shop.
    Boots upstairs have some bargains scattered about mainly bath/shower gels)
    and next to the pharmacy a rack of odds and sods

    absolutely nothing in the Surrey Quays (London) WHSmiths apart from a load of overpriced rubbish :(
  • Went to WHSmith at West One Retail Park, Eccles today and got 20 games.

    Nothing was out on the shleves so asked to price check a few - they came up at £1. I asked the assistant if he had any more and he went through a huge stack for me - all were behind the till ready to go out.

    There was loads of X Box and PCcdrom games to be had at just £1.00.

    THE TRAFFORD CENTRE - had about 4 games still marked at full price.

    What were these please as a number of stores do not have the items marked down yet? Save me being a pain asking for everything to be price scanned!
