Good deals on GTA V?

Really want to buy this game, but not willing to spend £35-£40.

Anyone know of any decent deals going on at the mo?

    That's one game which will have strong value retention, but you should be able to find a copy in supermarkets in that range.
    Retired member - fed up with the general tone of the place.
  • I very much doubt you are going to get it for less than that at the minute. Just had a quick look around main internet sites and supermarkets and is in excess of £40 in all I looked at.
    I wouldnt imagine you would even get it second hand as who would have traded it in yet. Even saying that I would imagine in a shop, second hand it is still going to be upwards of £40.

    I think either wait a good 6 months or more and get it then or suck it up and realise you are probably not going to get it for less than £35.
  • Don't think you are going to be able to find it for cheaper than £30. Maybe wait until after Christmas because I think it will come down a bit in price then. As the above post says its going to be able to hold its value for a while because there has been so much hype about it, so many people have brought it and there is not going to be a new GTA game out for a long while.

    Try to buy it next year, I am 100% sure that it would be lower than £35..

    If you trade the game in you're being offered £32, so I reckon second hand price has to be around £38.
  • Have a look on ebay as the ones that only have a few minutes to go are in the region of £30, and one at 34.99 buy it now.
    Ebay would be your best bet I would think taking the usual care when buying something from there.

    I would say buying from Amazon would be a good shout too, sitting around £32.99 with £2.03 postage. (don't know if that eBay BIT includes postage).

    Oh yes good point, missed that. Some of them do include postage and some don't. The ones that do make it about £3 more expensive, so depending on what they go for the amazon one may be the best bet OP.

    If you haven't done an online shop before with tesco, you can get it from there along with groceries up to the value of £60 and use a £15 off voucher - XXHJ74. (You can also do this by signing up to tesco using a different email address but I wouldn't condone that). The game is £44 there at the moment so add £16 of groceries to take the total order up to £60.

    Used copies should start appearing in the shops soon if they are not already.
