think Alpha Protocol PS3 is £6.95 there too - it's better than the reviews suggest

I know next to nothing about the four Atari Flashback consoles but from having just read this article I'll not be buying the Flashback 3 any time soon...

Bodycount for a fiver in Gamestation today - new - ok not a great game, but not a bad stocking filler.

I've just picked up the pre-owned version for the PS3 the same price in a GAME store, and also a pre-owned RAGE Anarchy Edition for £7.98. The latter was also available at that price from Gamestation.

Also spotted was WET (pre-owned) for £2.98, Brink and Bodycount (both new) for £4.99 each... all on PS3 but I'd assume they have similar XBOX bargains.

Also worth a mention is CEX who had a massive price drop on their games a couple of weeks ago, presumably to try and clear stock in the run up to Xmas. The obvious highlight I saw was Red Faction: Guerilla for £3 but there's loads of PS3/360 bargains at £5 or under...
