Gamestation - different prices online and in store?

Options
HI all,

Does anyone know if Gamestation games prices differ in store from their website?

The reason I ask is that I've heard PGR4 for Xbox 360 is £20 new instore, but more than this on their site, also when I went in store last week and asked about their "deal of the day" cheap pads - they looked at me blank and said well if its on the website its nothing to do with here.

cheers.

    on-line deals do vary between some stores. You just have to look at the bigger online stores (currys, comet etc) - their TVs, fridges etc are almost always cheaper on-line. WHSmiths, and Waterstones too - got stuff on-line this year because was more expensive in the store. I would say its more unusual to find the items more expensive on the websites, but I'm sure it happens!

    When looking at any company that has retail stores and sells on the web its often better to think of them as two seperate companies. Majority of the time the web deals will be better as the over head costs are lower.

    If you were out they would probably just leave it with a neighbour.

    Games come in standard DVD cases, never had a problem with them fitting through letterbox before, although not personally ordered from gamestation.
