There certainly is!!

Will post an extraordinary xbox story tomorrow.

All xbox, ps2, psp and ds misprices are still extant in all the stores I visited today, all games of weeks do not have yellow sels so therefore will not discount. Will they ever learn their lesson?

So even if the GOTW is correct, if the SEL is white the offer will not work?

I went to to my local Tesco and scanned an XBox Core at one of the scan-points, but it came up "Contact A Member Of Staff" so I'm guessing they're wise to it...?

I've found that sometimes when it comes up with "Contact A Member Of Staff", you just need to scan it again immediately afterwards & hey presto, the price is displayed. Hope this helps

The yellow sel indicates that it is linked to the console. The three r&r's that I got yesterday worked fine for me on this principle.

Ohhh...I know what you're talking about. For example, the PS2 GOTW has no yellow sticker (Lego Star Wars II) in my locals. If you buy a PS2 and that game, no discount will come off and you will have been overcharged. Guess the same works on the XBox 360 if there's no yellow label on Test Drive Limited or whatever the game's called. The games change tomorrow, by the way. Also, a PC went off offer today, so look out for it (it was £599 yesterday, on offer until the 13th). One more thing - Buffalo wireless modem router also went off offer today.

But even if they haven't changed the game sel, surely it's the central computers that control whether or not the discount comes off? eg - the game barcode will be the same whatever the case, so the national deal will apply for that week.

or are the stores not all updating from HO ?

incidentally, I saw someone mention that the laptop offers ran out yesterday - has anyone had a look to see if they're extended?

so, am i correct in saying that if there are no yellow sel stickers on the game visible the current game of the week will not be part of the bundle. or do i wait til tomorrow when the game changes so that the game is from an old poster.

still getting very confused.

thanks
