    Dammit, would have gone in there had I been at home this week! Sadly not.

    Don't you have to be over 18 to buy GTA? I assume thats more of the reason for ID'ing you.

    I think it said 16 on the box (I'm 28!)

    I have got a few xbox and PS2 games for 97p (West Midlands). I even got one for a 1p, xbox Splintercell on Monday. I brought one for a mate yesterday when I got my PS2 games and was charged 97p but the assistant may have changed the price because he kept looking at it, no price override on my receipt so it might have been an error that was adjustment overnight. You never know though it might be on the system as 1p.

    Off the top of my head these are the games I got. I tried scanning a few as well but they came up full price. Any if in some store the games are, marked at full price and are actually 97p this list might help. I don't know the full titles so some may be slightly wrong and misspelt I only have a couple of minutes of my lunchbreak left so I haven't get time to check for mistakes.

    Xbox
    Wrestlemania 21
    Spongepants Bob
    Starwars (two different ones, I can't remember titles)
    Burnout 3
    Splintercell
    Timesplitter
    James Bond (Russia something, can't remember)
    Gun
    Mercenaries
    Lord of the rings

    PS2
    Mercenaries
    Constantine
    Americas most wanted
    Denator
    Lord of the rings
    Metal (something????) 3

    There were also football and rugby games. I didn't get them and don't know the titles because I know my brother doesn't like sports games. At this price it is just so tempting to get some to try them but thought it only fair to leave them for someone that's into their sports games. If I think of anymore I will added them later.


    Hi angel00079,

    Can you tell me which store you got these in please.

    Popped into Derby (Kingsway I think), expecting nothing after comments by previous posters, but picked up Max Payne GBA for 97p. Not sure how you guys missed it.
  • Avoid curry's digital in Harrow...staff are absolutely awful. Had a miserable woman serve me. she blankly said "what it says on the sticker is its price"....even though i know full well that ansphalt (sorry about spelling) game is 97p!!! when she did scan a few of them she wouldn't say anything about the price....i have a feeling they were reduced but she wanted them!

    Hi angel00079,

    Can you tell me which store you got these in please.

    Hi, Lichfield, Cannock and Junction 9 M6 store.

    I got most of them from the Lichfield store (by the side of the till, Xbox and PS2). The GBA games are on the shelf. I only two games from the Junction 9 M6 store, these were out, I reserved them. I went to the Tamworth store but they only had 25% off (no xbox games). I got Finding Nemo (xbox) at Tamworth Comet for £2.99.

    Some store seem to have the games out, others are on the shelf with full price. I hope that the list below might help some.

    I have taken the list below from my receipts. I thought that the codes might help someone if they wanted a particular game so they could ring their local store. All the games were 97p apart from ‘MICROSOFT PANDORA2 ORAXBM’ which was a penny, as I have said in a previous post I am not sure if this is still the case.
