I got some bargains today at Gamestation's Pre-owned 'Big Sale, all XBox 360':

Fable III - £7
Lost Planet - £3
L.A. Noire - £5
Child of Eden - £8

I think I'm never going to pay full price for a game ever again. I paid under 23 quid for hours upon hours of excellent gaming. 8)

And Zavvi are doing Dark Souls for £20

Not sure when I'm going to play all these, what with Santa bringing Skyrim down the chimney in a couple of days. :shock:

Your local Morrisons is well worth a visit - mine had a lot of new 360 games for £5 or £7 - good titles too - but no good to me as none 360 owner. (it looked like they did have PS3 games too, but they were all gone bar Brink)

^^ Mine was the other way round, hardly any 360 and Wii games but about two rows of PS3 games.

I picked up Dead Space 2 for the 360 for a fiver from there.
Buy my stuff here.

Play.com have a sale that ends Midnight. Some 'cheaper than highstreet' prices there for example:

Battlefield 3 - £17.99
Rayman Origins - £14.99
Need For Speed The Run - £17.99

also, HMV.com have a very large range on Preowned PSP titles up. I recently got Darkstalkers for £1.98. Lots of other bits for under a fiver so worth checking out!

and finally, thehut.com is another site that has lots of cheap stuff worth checking out. I have had a few decent bits from there in the past

I just picked up Football Manager 2012 (PC/Mac) in that one-day Play.com promo for £12.99. :D

Was tempted to also buy Driver: San Francisco (PS3) for £9.99 and maybe CoD: Black Ops (PS3) for £17.99 too but I decided against it.

My PS3 YLoD'd on Friday and as it was under warranty I got a replacement refurb one from Game this weekend. The person who traded it in had left COD Black Ops in the drive, so I've got an unboxed version I was going to put up on ebay, but it's yours for a small fee if you're interested.

Sorry to hear of your PS3's YLoD, Treguard. My since replaced PS3 suffered the same fate not so long ago but was well past its warranty period. :evil:

Many thanks for the kind offer re: CoD BO and it is much appreciated. I'll respectfully pass on the opportunity but I'm sure another forum member will gladly take it off your hands. :D

I'd happily take Black Ops, hehe. Never played a cod since cod2 launch on 360, so would love to see how they have changed. I'd imagine alot. I'd give you some extra for your trouble too if you want to.

Been picking up alot of psp games lately, main attraction being Super Ghouls and Ghosts portable. Can't wait to settle into it :)

Just ordered as well

Everybodys Golf
Gangs Of London
Gripshift
Pursuit Force
Puyo Pop Fever
Spectral Vs Generation
Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice
Breath Of Fire 3
Lord Of Arcana: Slayer Edition
Medievil Resurrection

All for £32, so can't complain. Some great psp gaming days ahead :)

So i went into Blockbusters today and saw

Gears of War 3 £9.99 Preowned (this includes stealbook editions)
Batman Arkham City £13.99 (both XBOX 360 & PS3 included stealbook/sleaved editions)
Ico & Shadow of The Colossus HD Collection £12.99

I'm assuming most stores will be running the same prices
