   It’s not just online – in store too. Just popped in on a lunch break a few minutes ago…and no, I didn’t buy it.

   They also had the collectors edition instore for the same price, when I went in the other day- although I think that may have been a 1 day only special.

   Actually it’s in store as well. I picked it up on Monday for this price on a whim as I was just browsing. When I brought it to the counter they told me I could have the collectors edition for the same price…

   I’d been debating whether to get this for a while now due to all the conflicting opinions, this sale thankfully helped me make up my mind. A few hours in I’m happy enough with my purchase.

   I’ve mostly always played FF for the graphics and cool movies though so I should have known any complaints about linearity or the combat taking to long to fully unlock wouldn’t really bother me.

   Well, for 50 bucks it’s definitely worth it. I mean if its at budget price, then its potentially one of the best budget games out there realistically.

   But at full price?

   No stinkin’ way.

   For any other thrifty shopers out there, I was shocked to see this deal from JB hifi. XBOX 360 elite console with forza and odst for $249… just FYI, pretty good deal if you ask me.

   Guys,

   $48 for FFXIII is nothing. I work at GAME and we’re in the middle of marking – honestly – 90% of stock waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down. Like, ridiculously cheap. I’m talking about FOUR DOLLARS for PS3 games.

   Just head down to your nearest Game store and check it out. Bear in mind that we’ve only started pricing things down now, so just ask staff how much different titles are, and by next weekend, the massive sale should be all set up and you can nab some awesome bargains.

   The other staff members and I here are just about peeing we’re so excited.

   Woo!

         GAME’s not likely to go arse up at all any time soon… 1100+ stores in Europe, they’re doing pretty well here too. The staff cuts in the head office recently were blown way out of proportion, it was for a more direct control apparently.

      That coaster has been $5-$10 intermittently everywhere since a few months after it climbed from the abyss and started laying eggs on store shelves

    I can’t believe I bought this at full price off GAME through preordering….

    I really want to hit myself right now.

    On a side note, I can’t see this deal reflected on their website?

    @Jo

    No, we’re not closing down; after the shuffle with staff at head office in the last few weeks, we’ve got this amazing new head director who pretty much just wants to get rid of all the excess and old stock.

    His idea is pretty much the less old stock we have in store, the more we can get in of special edition new stock and such. We love him so far, haha.

    Just for your example: Alien Vs Predator PC $8; Combat of Giants Dragons DS: $8; Overlord Minions DS: $4; almost 90% of the PS2 stock is less than $5; PS3 dual shock controllers: $68. That’s just based on our lists so far.

    (Oh, and this only applies in store, because the webstore is different again.)
