Lost (XBox 360) is 15 quid at my local Zavvi. Might be worth a look if you like the game. Don't know if it is cheap in all Zavvis, but it probably should be...

I have this, I was going to suggest that fellow achievements whores set up some kind of ring passing it along.

It's REALLY terrible. It's a 7/10 as far as TV adaptations go - that's pretty good, hey - but about a 1/10 in all other respects.

I also did, mostly. Dimrill didn't because it is a FPS and quite grey, and he hates those and doesn't play anything like that on the 360, with 'Martyrdom' turned on. ;)

Incidentally the headset is slightly different than the one that came with my Xbox, the switch and volume are on the lead and it seems to fit my head better.

Well, mine arrived, and much like yours, my 'camera+headset+game' pack equates to this:

camera + headset (mark II?) + 12 month Gold subscription + 200 points + Robotron + UNO + big proper cardboard box

I notice with great interest that the packaging displays the "Games for Windows" logo as much as the Xbox 360 logo. So, that might interest some.

16gb iPod Touch for £199.99. Twice the storage capacity as the recent JesusPhone deals, for damn near the same price. Not a phone, but still does lot of other cool official + third-party stuff.

In his absence Dr. Z - Yes, it is, we were talking about it during Burnout earlier. He was in a greenhouse at the time, for some reason.

Cool, fingers crossed then. That's weird though he doesn't have a greenhouse. Maybe he was just having his Scum fantasy again.

King Kong (Xbox 360) for £4 all-in.

I quite enjoyed this myself. It has some frustrating bits, and supposedly it's much too dark on non-HD displays. Still, I enjoyed it (the bits where you play as Kong, most of all), and it's also a great game for achievement whores - simply play through the game once, and that's it. Good for the price.

Im tempted but Ive just bought 2 cheap 360 games in viva pinata limited edition for 8 pounds and football manager 2006 for 2 quid, I forgot to post that last bargain, sorry I think there all gone aswell. I think mines pre-owned though the slimy bastard company that is thegamecollection there supposed to be well known for it. I'd do something about it if it wasnt a game thats 2 quid.

oh hotukdeals reckon that GTA4 will be 34 quid on tuesday, so may be the cheapest come release date.

It's been discounted here and there quite frequently. Perhaps AW:DC was massively over-ordered by retailers, stiffed rather badly, and they want shot of the excess stock?

I ordered on Friday and I too got the whole kit and kaboodle. So in effect they've paid me £5-£10 to take a camera, headset, 200 points and a couple of games off their hands.

It's the most bargainous bargain in the history of bargainisity. Cheers, Mark / CUS.

I noticed a bunch of traffic coming to my blog from these forums, I assumed it was from the bargains thread, but apparently it was from the thread about the homebrew region free Wii launcher.

Anyway, some of you may have visited my blog before, but if not, it's SavyGamer and I track all the best video games bargain deal in the UK.

Another 2-4-1 Giraffe voucher here although I think this might be Manchester-based outlets only. Please check.

It certainly worked for us tonight anyway, although my gf has gone and scuppered the deal by coming home and hurling her guts up. That's our free meal, literally down the toilet. Pfffft! She's ok btw, just unwell.

Why thank you! It's always nice to give hear good feedback.

So, I (obviously) have a bunch of bargains to post here. Does anyone have any problems with me linking to blog posts instead of directly to retailers?

There are several reasons for this. I post bargains on a few forums, and if I ever need to update details, it means I don't have to do it in several places. But the main reason I prefer to do that is because where applicable I will earn affiliate commission from retailers for sending traffic that way. I earn between 4-8% commission, depending on the retailer.

If people don't want me to do that, that's perfectly fine, I won't do, I just thought it best to ask first.

Post subject:  Re: Bargains, Bargains, Bargains!
I'm not sure people would mind but at present there isn't really any way to decide without polling every single one of us (look at the dimlie fall out), so if you could go the extra mile and post something like (at least for a bit):

Bargain: [url]link[/url] & [url]affiliate link[/url]

Then you give people the choice to give you money. Which I'm sure they will. I'm sure it isn't a problem but I don't want to speak for everyone...

Hmmm, how much for a 'if you think god is silly visit skeptobot' ad?

But seriously, I did a really minor thing about phony marketing blog Threespeech censoring their comments which got dug and generated 10,000 odd hits a day for a weak. I kinda left the blog alone again till they had all gone....

I've had a quick chat with the other mods, and we are in agreement that it should be fine for two reasons;

1. You are doing the work and we get the results of the bargains which could save us all a pretty penny.

2. You did the gentelmanly thing and asked first.

If anyone sees any problems with this then it's because we haven't thought of them so contact the mods please, if not - happy shopping to you all! :)
