Shopping specials: 360 and PS3 games

**john** · 26-08-2011, 11:30 AM

Guys

Check out this list: - TAKE2

Seems like they are dumping the old games. Picked up some average games for virtually nothing. My shopping list was Vanquish, Wet and Battlestations Pacific.

ps. Mods: Can we sticky the specials thread again please?

**Thrawn** · 26-08-2011, 11:49 AM

Stickied.

**john** · 26-08-2011, 11:50 AM

Thanks Thrawn - not sure what happened to the other stickies. Nice not to have to necro the old threads everytime though

**CaptainCrunch** · 26-08-2011, 11:51 AM

Yah, was looking for the original thread to sticky, but can't find it anywhere.

**john** · 26-08-2011, 11:52 AM

Please feel free to hack my original post if you guys want to make it more generic and open ended. I wasn't expecting this one to be stickied. Cap didn't we start a KH thread a while ago?

Take2 shipped already - same day order + ship. Now that is service.

**EyeGod** · 27-08-2011, 12:39 PM

Hell, what about Portal 2!? Regardless, they're all sold out in Cape Town... :| Not that I should complain - Human Revolution is where it's at right now...

See I had link copy fail there. Whoever merged it, maybe you can just point it to the actual link instead.

**john** · 31-08-2011, 11:22 AM

OK - back on topic (Kinda).

Xbox 360 Live 12 Month Gold Card (SA) 50% Off Special Offer - TAKEALOT

R265 for a year subscription to XBL. Any takers?

Edit: Seems that is an old offer - no one told me. Still cheap though.

**CaptainCrunch** · 31-08-2011, 02:02 PM

Just a quick comparison in case you're still unsure where best to spend your money, or where not to rather for that matter.

Gears of War 3
Kalahari.net - R500
BT Games - R505
Take2/Takealot - R514
Look&Listen - R625
Incredible Connection - R630

Does anyone actually buy anywhere else BUT KH these days? The only reason I'd buy at any other place is if they have exclusives (like BT do sometimes) or specials.

**HarmonicPwny** · 31-08-2011, 02:11 PM

Yeah I buy off Takealot most of the time, KH has messed up almost every single order I ever placed with them.

Kalahari and Take2 are definitely tops, so i alternate between those. Kalahari have slipped somewhat recently since Amnesia moved on.
I only buy at BT when i've got stuff to trade in or when there's a special.
LL and IC are completely oblivious, so are best avoided completely. (Although IC have ridiculous specials every now and then where they seem to get rid of older stock that don't sell at their inflated original prices)
Musica and CNA are much the same.

Take2 has also slipped since it's been bought out.

Only time I use a brick and mortar store is if they have some kind of sale, clearance or whatever. Normally something will popup. I still remember grabbing Brutal Legend from music for R150 a year-ish ago.
